Namaste and Happy Holidays!

Attached is our December/January newsletter with lots of exciting events coming up. To celebrate the holiday, and also to do a little studio maintenance, Neighborhood Yoga will close from Thursday, December 23 through Sunday January 2nd, with the exception of a New Year’s Day Candlelight Yoga class on Saturday, January 1st from 6-8pm with Valerie. Space is limited, so call to reserve a spot. See our newsletter for details.

As you may have noticed, the weather has been challenging. We try to keep the studio open as much as possible, but if we have to cancel a class due to weather, a message will be left on the machine (265-0377) one hour prior to that class.

If you are interested in purchasing gift certificates, please call or stop by the studio. We offer certificates for single classes, 5 class cards, 10 class cards, and one month unlimited passes.

This weekend is our Karma Krew fundraiser/luncheon/silent auction to help sponsor the service trip to Haiti just after Christmas. Please consider joining us this Sunday for a Haitian-style lunch and silent auction at the High Country United Church of Christ. See the newsletter or Neighborhood Yoga’s home page <neighborhoodyoga.net> for details. Below is a list of items/donations/supplies we are collecting to take to Haiti. We are also carrying used yoga mats, so if you have a mat, or any other supplies you’d like to donate, bring them by the studio this week.
