Welcome to April at BL!! As we say so long to March, we are happy to report that March went out with a bang. We had 100 bodies participate in the Make a Difference March challenge. We collectively raised $1000 for Open Door Outreach Center. AND of the 55 peeps who completed the challenge, 25 names were picked as the lucky winners of Lululemon and BL prizes at yesterdays drawing. If you weren’t able to make it to claim your prize, you will be contacted to just stop by the desk next week!! Also SO MANY of you shared with us that this challenge really got you motivated to show up. Encouraging you all to keep this momentum going for the rest of 2023.

You can BYO beverage if you wish…hope to see you there!!
For the next 3 April workshops I’m going to have each person who is leading it to tell you a little more about. All 3 offer you an opportunity to delve a little deeper or add a bit more dimension into your yoga practice…
Thai Partner Yoga with Beth James Friday, April 14th 7 pm with Social Hour to follow
Join us for a fun and playful partner yoga class experience. The first half will be easy partner yoga poses aiding in fostering connection to one another as well as the chance to go deeper into poses with the assist of another.
Then we will transition to a guided Thai massage partner series. Both participants will be guided how to put your partner into Thai massage poses; aiding in relaxation and deeper therapeutic stretches.
Perfect class for couples, friends, parent and child - really for anyone looking for a fun night of yoga and connection.
You will walk away knowing some simple Thai partner techniques to use and feeling rejuvenated!
Tune Up your Chakras with Sound offered by Claudia, Sunday, April 16th 5:30-7 pm
Join me for a 60 minute better backs practice followed by a 30 minute Sound Bowl Healing experience. This practice will focus on yoga poses related to each Chakra in the body, starting with the root chakra and ending with the crown chakra. Each Chakra (energy center) in the body corresponds with a sound bowl and its sound frequency. You will not only be experiencing a balancing of chakras through movement but through sound as well. Give your body and mind the gift of a 90 minute yoga and sound healing journey.
Optional: Bring a blanket, bolster, pillow
Yin Yoga & Nidra with Deniz, Sunday, April 30th 5:30-7 pm
A Yin class ending in Yoga Nidra .This class is a gentle holding posture class, opening up some tightly held areas. The Nidra guides each person to the space between sleep and awake, where the magic happens in a relaxed consciousness. Guiding each student to greater peace.
So there you go…several great opportunities to learn more, deepen your yoga practice, try something new, or just connect with your BL community. Love that we are able to share so many eclectic experiences right here at BL!!
