SUPtember!

Woo Hoo…we are going to yoga and standup paddle board our ways right into September this Labor Day weekend!

Please plan to join me this coming Saturday, August 30, at Firefly Beach in Huron for beach yoga and meditation at 8:30 AM followed by back-to-back standup paddle board sessions.

After all this paddle boarding fun you may think that I’ll start to get sad that the summer and beach yoga season is coming to an end, but that is not the case because I’m already dancing on my yoga mat and singing along with Earth, Wind, and Fire as I dream about “September.”

Ba de ya – say do you remember
Ba de ya – dancing in September
Ba de ya – never was a cloudy day

Oh yeah, this is definitely my yoga theme song as we roll into Labor Day and September. I’ve got so much to look forward to and I’m going to keep on believing that September will never bring a cloudy day.

The regular beach yoga class schedule runs through Labor Day, and I’m excited to announce that there will be a modified schedule through September! If you bought a class pass and have classes left you can use them in September and I plan to be around Vermilion for Saturday classes throughout the Fall and Winter months too.

Here is the run down of September:

Join me for LABOR DAY Beach Yoga at Main Street Beach in Vermilion (behind the former Inland Seas Museum) at 8:30 AM!

Sunset Beach Yoga

Double the fun Sunset Beach Yoga/Full Moon Beach Yoga Bliss on Tuesday, September 9! There will be a sunset beach yoga class at Linwood Beach from 7:00 – 8:00 PM and then at 8:15 PM we will roll right into a special FULL MOON Beach yoga class! Each class is $10, but if you come for the Sunset Class you can stay for the Full Moon class at no extra charge! Together we’ll enjoy the beauty of the sun setting over Lake Erie, tap into the energy of the full moon, set some full moon intentions, meditate, and do some yoga mat dancing in the moonlight!

It’s National Yoga Month, the Perfect Time to Give Yoga a Try!

It’s National Yoga Month, the Perfect Time to Give Yoga a Try!

Wednesday, September 1 was the kickoff of National Yoga Month, and you’ve got 28 days left to get into the festivities. The purpose of National Yoga Month is to create awareness about the many benefits of yoga and hopefully encourage Americans to get out there and give yoga a try!

If you’ve always wanted to try it but don’t know where to start, here are two great programs going on this month to get you onto a yoga mat.

1)      You absolutely must visit the Yoga Month Web site. They have links to hundreds of free classes and events and a list of over 1200 yoga studios nationwide offering one free week of yoga.

2)      If you would rather try yoga out in the comfort of your home, My Yoga Online is offering free online training sessions. My Yoga Online is a premium on-demand subscription service for yoga and wellness videos. They offer one of the largest and most diverse mind-body video and article libraries in the world. The cool thing is that their classes fit your schedule—you can log on at anytime, from anywhere, and have access to the perfect class for you. If you have always wanted to try My Yoga Online, now’s your chance to check it out for free before you sign up.

I’m personally celebrating National Yoga Month by setting some new intentions for my yoga practice and have a personal goal to do a headstand by the end of the month. I’ll also keep you posted on additional Yoga Month activities and helpful tips to get you started on your very own yoga journey.

With all these festivities and FREE classes, there really is no excuse to give it a try!
