Winter 2024 Update
Happy 2024! It has been a great winter at The Yoga Center. The lack of snow has indeed encouraged more yoga students to have a more regular practice. This has helped grow a very nice community of dedicated, serious yogis. With such a strong local base, the drop in student blends more seamlessly into class. Locals Rule!
This January, I started Friday Flowers. I import luxury flowers from Ecuador and Holland as a side gig (Cultivars.com) that I started during the pandemic. Most Fridays, there will be fresh cut bunches of flowers for sale. I am specifically buying the most exclusive flowers for The Yoga Center. It has been really fun!
The Strength Training Program is also going very well. One might think that Yoga and Strength Training are polar opposites. I see them as similar disciplines. Bishnu Charan Ghosh, Bikram Choudhury’s teacher, was an Indian bodybuilder and Hathayogi. Bishnu Ghosh taught yoga postures for the results of physical health, emphasizing muscle control. The same muscle (and breath) control is used lifting weights and holding a yoga posture.
I have a few ideas for the future of The Yoga Center brewing but they are not ready to share. But, PLEASE share yours! I am always open to suggestions, and ideas. The Yoga Center is your place as much as it is mine.
Thank you and Stay Well,
Heather
