You Do Yoga September 2012 Newsletter Cincinnati OH

Be it summer or fall You Do Yoga always has a full schedule of great classes and special events, but please be aware that all classes Downtown are cancelled on Labor Day, and Anderson Township will only hold 5:30pm and 7pm classes. Also, on Saturday September 1st the community yoga class will not be held Downtown. All other classes are on for the holiday weekend. If ever you are in doubt, the most current schedule is always up on our website.

In addition to our ongoing weekly classes, we have some spectacular special events planned for the upcoming months!
 
We want to let you know about our Taoist Yoga Teacher Training Program. For those interested in learning more we will be holding an Open House/Informational Gathering at each of our studios. Please come to one or both sessions to meet the Director of Teacher Training as well as graduates of our program. We will be giving an overview of what makes our training different than most others, and allow time for questions from prospective trainees. Come and join us at our Anderson Township studio Saturday 9/22 5-6pm, or Sunday 9/23 6-7pm Downtown. The next round of 200 Hour certification begins January of 2013, and we have a Pre-registration deadline of November 1, 2012.
 
While you may be aware that our Taoist Yoga Teacher Training is different from most others, we are equally aware that many currently certified yoga instructors and other serious students are not able to commit to our entire 200 hour program. That is why we are offering two pieces of our training curriculum in a weekend workshop format this fall: Join Matt Eshleman, Director of You Do Yoga’s Teacher Training Programs, for a chance to learn more about Anatomy for Yoga and the Functional Approach to Instruction in our Functional Anatomy Intensive on Saturday 9/15 &  Sunday 9/16, Noon-6pm. In a separate event on October 13th, we will be examining a functional approach to Subtle Anatomy, Meridians, Chi, and Chakras and Meditation in our Subtle Anatomy Intensive. You Do Yoga is a Registered Yoga School with the Yoga Alliance, and can grant CEUs for attending these Anatomy Intensive events. Because of the intensive nature of these programs, enrollment is by acceptance only. Please contact us if you are interested.

You Do Yoga is proud to be participating in the Yoga Aid Challenge! We will be joining yogis across the globe to raise funds for the Africa Yoga Project. (https://secrets2meditation.com/goto/?url=http://www.africayogaproject.org) Register for the Yoga Aid event to be held Saturday, 9/9 at 2pm in Ault Park. Registration can be done the day of the event, but online is much easier. This is totally FREE, no commitment to attend. We would like to encourage each of you to register now – in doing so, you will have your own fundraising page set up if you wish to do your own fundraising. When you register, there’s a box that says ‘I’d like to join/ create a team. Click on that and select You Do Yoga from the drop box. Pretty easy right? 

Continuing through September 29th Mike Spears is leading an 8-week meditation workshop at our Downtown Studio. Designed with the novice in mind, we began with fundamentals – but you can still drop-in to any session at our regular single class rate. The group meets on Saturdays, 11:30am-12:30pm.

Experiencing the beauty of nature is one of the best parts of summer, so we are extending our special series You Do Yoga in the Park through September! Bring your own mat and join us for an hour of FREE yoga at Beech Acres Park every Sunday from 10-11am with Seth Gehauf. We will meet at the stage area, but we cancel in the event of rain.

Monks have brewed beer since the dawn of time, and there’s a handful of yogis continuing that tradition. Friday 9/21 at 6:30pm we will host our first “Asanas and Ales” event. An all-levels yoga practice comes first, and then you can stick around to sample light appetizers and a variety of local home-brews! If you are a brewer too and want to show off your work, get in touch with us to arrange a donation. 
 
Fall is a great time for runners and other outdoor sports enthusiasts, and that’s why we are holding another Yoga for Runners workshop on Saturday 9/22, 2-4pm in Anderson Township. Anita Eshleman will lead two hours of deep stretching and core strengthening perfectly tailored to the needs of runners and walkers, spinners and cyclists.

On Saturday, 10/6, 1-2:30pm will be our Introduction to ZEN Meditation with Shane Coppage and will include introductory teachings on Zen Buddhism with a primary focus on zazen or seated meditation. This workshop is Pay by Donation.
Finally, although it seems like a long way off, Sweetest Day will be here before you know it! Lock in the perfect gift for your partner by signing up now for our “Love is All you Need” event on Saturday, 10/20! This FUN 3-hour workshop will begin with a Partner Yoga practice to encourage connection, and then move into led sessions of partnered Thai Massage. No previous experience necessary! https://secrets2meditation.com/goto/?url=http://www.youdoyoga.com/Partner_Yoga.html
 
Well, that about covers it for this edition! Unless you reply to this address with the subject “remove” we will drop you a line again in October and remember – you can LIKE us on Facebook (You Do Yoga Cincinnati) and to follow us on Twitter @YouDoYoga. And be sure to visit our website regularly at https://secrets2meditation.com/goto/?url=http://www.YouDoYoga.com for updates and schedules changes.
