Time to get back to the Mat! Start with Tuesday Gentle Yoga Art Museum 9 am Tuesday. It has been awhile and it will be good to be back. Just $8.
Or a little later (11:45 am) my gentle Tuesday class at 11:45 am is the place to be at O2 Fitness - Hanover Center. A great community class for all levels.
Then I will be back Friday, again at O2 for people-friendly cycle at 10:30 am. Just 30 minutes! Stick around for very mellow yoga next door in the big room at 11:15 am.
Enjoy and embrace the heat this week!
Namaste

The plants are finally taking off -- the geese are producing goslings (Goose Gosling MLB Hall of Famer) and yoga continues to be an experience!
This week I am on -- on Tuesday in the usual location O2 Fitness -- Hanover at 11:45 am for Gentle Yoga. Darren is doing the 9 am class Cameron Art Museum this week -- what gallery? You will have to come to find out.
I take off for Michigan on Friday so I will miss both my 10:30 cycle class (pretty mellow) and 11:15 meditative yoga in the big room, both at O2 once again.
So see you Tuesday or next week!
Love & Namaste!

Some Yoga is always coming up that I can share with you! First a cancellation. Tomorrow (Tuesday 5/5), Cameron Art Museum will NOT host a Gentle Yoga class at 9 am due to an all-staff meeting on site. Darren Shartle will be back next Tuesday.
But if it is gentle yoga you want, come to O2 Fitness Clubs - Independence (Hanover) where I will be sharing my best at 11:45 am on Tuesday. Try with a guest pass if you have never come before (You can log in to one on our O2 page).
Then on Friday, start the Daily Double with almost mellow Cycle at 10:30 am (again at Hanover - 30 minutes)) , followed by very mellow yellow yoga at 11:15 am right next door in the big room, again 30 minutes.
On Saturday, I need to work my daytime job -- but YOU can attend Puppy Yoga at 11:30 am - sponsored by Paws For People who will gladly accept the $10 donation again at O2 Hanover.
See you soon!

Time to celebrate and survive spring ... adjust to the whirling weather day by day. Get up for the sunrise at least once this week... and tomorrow the New Moon.
Things start in the wild and wooly weather on Monday 3/16 at 10:40, back in the big room at the New Hanover Senior Center. Check in at the desk. Then I get to sub at 4:30 pm for Lucila at O2 Fitness Clubs Hanover, a gentle slo-flo class.
Then the following day, why not come to Cameron Art Museum 9 am, Tuesday for our weekly communal session. $8 walk-in rate. At 11:45 the parade continues for more gentle yoga at O2 Fitness Clubs Hanover Center. Don't miss this one.
Thursday cycle is always fun - 9:30 am at O2 Fitness Clubs on Racine Dr. More cycle is more fun - 10:30 for a half hour Friday class back at O2 Hanover that is a great learning experience. If you have ever ridden a bike you can do it!
Then come next door for calming yoga at 11:15, another 30 minute respite from the rest of your life.
See you there!

Every week is a yoga week. Tuesday, 3/9, I finally get back to Cameron Art Museum for a 9 am gentle class among the paintings. We will have extra mats, straps, blankets and blocks. $8 walk-in rate. Then at 11:45 Tuesday, I will be back at O2 Fitness Clubs Hanover for another classic gentle class. Great vibe. Ask for a guest pass if you are not a member.
On Thursday I am taking Yin from Caroline at the new Longwave Yoga studio on Sir Tyler (6 pm). E-mail for a reservation (required) from their web page.
Friday, I am hitting the bike, first subbing for Gordon at 9:30 am at O2 Fitness Clubs Hanover. This is an excellent fitness class. Then at 10:30, stick around for 30 more minutes of cycle - designed for older aults, beginners or a recovery Spin.
Finally, your body will like the 30 minute chill yoga class in the big room next door at 11:15. Discover the Great American Songbook.
The YMCA starts Youth Soccer this weekend. I coach my 5 year-old grandchild in U-6 play, Ogden Park Field 4 - 10:45 am.
So, have a great week - enjoy the sunshine when it comes!

Hi everyone; plenty of yoga and other things going on.
One of the things I try to do every week is to TAKE one to two yoga classes. This past weekend I took a hot yoga class at Be Unlimited on Oleander Drive. I highly recommend this studio. I have been also taking the Yin series on Thursday nights from Caroline through Longwave Yoga. One can sign up for individual sessions (6:30 pm) and the next one will be in Longwave's new studio on Sir Tyler near Mayfaire. All info is on the websites
Regarding classes I teach this week (or don't teach) Darren is doing the Tuesday 9 am class at Cameron Art Museum and Jenny D. the 11:45 am class I normally do at O2 Fitness Clubs Hanover Center. Both are gentle classes. I am a Precinct Head Judge for HO4 at College Park Elementary School which means I am locked in all day. This is a Primary Election but please vote (unless you are a Green or a Libertarian) - they don't have any primaries.
However I am subbing in for the Yoga Toning class on MONDAY at the New Hanover Senior Center (Shipyard at College) 10:40 am. Look for a room shift because of the elections and sign up at the front desk.
For this who would like to try indoor cycling, my class this Thursday at 9:30 am O2 Fitness Clubs Racine should be very entertaining for music buffs (subbing for Jose).
Finally, the week finishes out with Cycle Gold (my description) a 30 minute express class 10:30 am on Friday back at O2 Fitness Clubs Hanover Center followed by the most mellow yoga class you will ever take at 11:15 right next door.
That about all folks --- see you at the far post!

This is a fine week for yoga in town and everywhere else, too. We can finally feel winter letting go as the Chinese Spring Festival celebrates a New Year as we hop on our steeds and ride away.
Start with 9 am Gentle Yoga at Cameron Art Museum surrounded by the paintings. It will be good to be back. Yes we have blankets, straps and blocks if you need them. Just a $8 donation.
Another opportunity on Tuesday is at 11:45 am at O2 Fitness Clubs Hanover Center, a good room and a great vibe. Both Tuesday classes are 55 minutes.
The next day (Wednesday), I get to sit in for Jenny for 9 am yoga in the same location. Come join us!
Then on Friday, start off your morning with 10:30 Cycle Gold. Short and sweet at 30 minutes (still at O2) followed by 11:15 Chill Yoga, another 30 minutes of bliss.
Hope to see you. If not, I am on break for a week, in LA to take some yoga and have some other experiences! Darren will be back at the CAM and other wonderful instructors will also greet you, too!
Namaste
