Rise+Shine Yoga will be delayed one week to give us a chance to try something new --better value, more flexibility-- for the summer. So, no Rise+Shine yoga tomorrow morning (May 10); we'll get started next week, on Monday, May 17. Here's the deal:
Rise+Shine: Summer Session
Join us for early-morning yoga (most) Mondays in May, June, and July. We'll rise, shine, breathe, and get better connected to mind, body, and spirit for a powerfully good start to the day. You'll be invited to play your edges as you build confidence, strength, and stamina. All levels welcome for this challenging yet accessible practice. Yoga experience is helpful but not required. Class is led by certified Forrest Yoga instructor Jenni Derryberry Mann.
Mondays, 6am-7am. May 17th-July 26th. **No class May 31 and July 5.**
Rise+Shine class pass: 7 classes/$70. Expires July 26. On sale now through May 28.
Or join us as a drop-in: $15/class
To RSVP for your Rise+Shine class pass, or for questions: email Jenni at jennifer.derryberry.mann[AT]gmail.com
To reserve/purchase your pass: Call 706-355-3114 or enroll online (it will probably be Monday 5/10 before the R+S pass is available online).
Please let us know if you have questions!
Namaste,
Jenni Derryberry Mann

Computerized Check-in
Hello sweet students,
We are going to a totally electronic check-in system at the studio. Once this is fully in place you will be able to go online and check how many classes you have left on your "card", purchase new "cards", sign-up for series and workshops as well as find out if there is a sub for the class you plan on attending.
Due to this change we will be asking for your email one final time next time when you attend class. Please bear with us as we make this transition . . . . it should make us much more efficient at checking you in when you come to class.
Hope to see you all soon.
In health and joy,
Shannon

Chakra Workshop: Second Chakra this Sunday
“Disconnection from the body is a cultural epidemic. Of all the losses rupturing the human soul today, this alienation may be the most alarming because it separates us from the very roots of existence. Only by recovering the body can we begin to heal the world itself, for as mind is to body, so culture is to planet.
Healing the split between mind and body is a necessary step in the healing of us all. It heals our home, our foundation, and the base upon which all else is built.”

--Anodea Judith, author of Wheels of Life: A User's Guide to the Chakra System
Join us for a slow paced vinyasa yoga class focused on the second chakra. The second chakra is located in the lower abdomen and sacral plexus and associated with change, movement, sensation, pleasure and emotions. We will take the time to stretch and open the entire body with an emphasis on the hips.
This class, led by Charlotte Johnston, is appropriate for all levels.
Sunday, February 21
1:30pm-3:30pm
$20, register online.

Today's Anusara group practice
Anusara-Inspired instructor and studio co-founder Shannon Frank-Ball led a couple dozen yogis through a fun and challenging afternoon practice of handstands and backbends ... which led to a little fling with the mighty Scorpion pose:
Workshop: Yoga for Athletes
Yoga is an effective way to improve the flexibility, strength, and stability of your body. This results in greater stride length, greater speed, and greater dexterity--all of which can improve performance in golf, running, cycling, tennis, and other sports activities.
Join us for YOGA FOR ATHLETES, a 2-1/2-hour class exploring the postures that are specifically geared toward this goal.
Common injuries and musculoskeletal imbalances can occur from these popular sports activities. These imbalances and injuries will be explored as we go through the postures. You will learn which postures can help you prevent injury and imbalance, and specific postures that will assist you in healing from injuries.
The workshop is led by Marlysa Sullivan, a physical therapist and yoga teacher in the Pranakriya Yoga tradition. Combining her knowledge of the body and physical therapy with yoga principles and practice has enabled her to develop a unique approach to working with the body and mind in healing from injury. She leads experiential workshops and trainings across the country in anatomy for the Pranakriya 500 hour training program as well as in several 200 hour training programs. She believes that we learn best from being able to see, touch and feel in our own bodies the concepts we are trying to understand. She gives students the opportunity to learn anatomy and therapeutic principles using experiential techniques and applying them directly to yoga practice.
