Namaste Dear Yogis and Yoginis -
Over the past few months I have been inspired by many amazing people around me in our community. These people are all dedicated to removing obstacles in both their lives and other people's lives through their love and compassion and dedication. Over the next few months I will be featuring some of these beautiful people and what they are doing on the website (read about Kate and
Bent on Change in the
article below). By reading their stories and sharing in their visions it can help us realize and act upon our visions for a more integrated, peaceful, local and global community.
The studio is also hopping. We have added more new classes!
Fridays at 12:30-1:30p
"Rounding" with Elizabeth Castagna!
The increased energy, clarity and rejuvenation you experience after a ROUNDING class is profound. It is like hitting the reset button for your body and mind. In a one hour ROUNDING class we do cycles of yoga stretches, guided mediation and napping while practicing the art of silence. It's a magical way to end your week.
ROUNDING is taught by Elizabeth Castagna (Alexander Technique teacher). Classes are Fridays 12:30-1:30p. This class will begin July 2.
ROUNDING classes are flexible... you can make this a soulful lunchtime escape by coming to class from 12:30-1:15 for 3 ROUNDS leaving time for a sandwich before going back to work!
We will be increasing the length of time that class cards may be used after purchase. This applies to all cards purchased from this date forward.

Kate Perna is the founder of a wonderful organization called "Bent on Change" - here is what Bent on Change is all about...
Bent on Change is a non-profit organization, based in Newburgh, NY, that works to extend the physical, psychological, and emotional benefits of Transformative Life Skills (TLS), a multi-modality intervention including yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques, to at-risk and underserved populations as a means of preventing violence, improving education, and increasing overall wellness.
Our project is two-fold: we will be instituting a Community Outreach Program through which we will teach in various facilities throughout the community that serve the aforementioned populations; we will also be building a TLS (Transformative Life Skills) Community Center in the City of Newburgh, where we will offer yoga programs, wellness workshops, Yoga Therapy, and Holistic Health care, all of which will be by donation-only; we will focus specifically on education, violence prevention, and health care.
Bent on Change is working collaboratively with the Niroga Institute, based in Oakland, California, which supports us with extensive experience and a high current level of service, teaching 150 classes per week in juvenile halls, schools and alternative schools, shelters and foster homes, rehab centers and hospitals. Evaluation of Niroga's program results indicates that TLS reduces stress and increases self-control and resiliency, making these programs a front-line prevention and early-intervention strategy, complementing, enhancing, and enabling all other interventions and treatment options. Outcomes of these programs range from reductions in juvenile crime and violence to long-term improvements in education, public and behavioral health, youth development, economic growth and community development.
