―Rainbow Rowell

Hi Everyone!

As I write this I’m looking out the window at a gray and blustery fall day and trying to get up the motivation to take myself and my dog for a needed walk. I’m feeling very grateful for our cozy studio and our easy access to tea. And in case it’s not obvious, I’m even more thankful for the warmth I feel from our Infinity community. That’s you!

Remember, this week Mollee’s Tuesday class is at the Bluff Country Co-op. It’s free, just let them know you’re coming. And while you’re there stay and sample some of their delicious lunch. We’re pretty big fan of their Indian Food on Tuesdays! More information below along with our other upcoming events!

If you haven’t seen the latest Wellness Newsletter coming out of Infinity Clinic it’s worth checking out. Shellie Nelson was the featured practitioner and there’s a great video with some of her clients explaining what she does and how she helps them.

See you on the mat,

~Elle

―Mary Oliver, Song for Autumn

Hi Everyone!

Fall Equinox happens at 2:50am tomorrow morning so most of us will sleep through it. However you can still observe it in your own way.

This morning I’m thinking about how the equinoxes arrive during seasons of change which goes against any notations we might hold that balance is best achieved during times of quiet and tranquility! Poses such as the tree pose can help teach us that balance arises out of the juxtaposition of forces. As our foot presses into our strong leg as we continue to make micro adjustments as we hold the pose. I’m not saying you need to wake up at 2:50am to practice a tree pose, but you might consider including them in your daily/ weekly practices.

This Saturday Gentle Yoga classes begin again  with a special New Moon class beginning at 10am. More information below. Look forward to regular 10:45am classes beginning in October and going through the end of the year.

On Sunday April leads a special Yoga Nidra practice during her Restorative Yoga class. We are so lucky to have access to this healing practice on a regular basis!

Lynn is going to step away from her Saturday morning classes while her travel schedule is so hectic. For those of you looking to practice Qi Gong, her regular students meet even when she’s out of town. Please feel free to join them, they are a very welcoming bunch!

Lastly, you’ll want to save the date for Rahbi Crawford’s Feminine Empowerment Concert on Oct. 27th. For those of you who remember Rahbi performed at Infinity years ago. She practices a unique form of healing work using sound and guided meditation to help one align and balance their energy. More information on this concert below.

“I see a real yogi as a someone who is committed to growth and to being the best version of themselves, and, at the same time, is courageous enough to be fully present and authentic in each moment. Someone who is not afraid to get real about the whole mess of who they are – the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
―Baron Baptiste

Hi Everyone!

We are back to our regular September schedule this week so it’s a great time to check out one of Lynn’s Qi Gong classes.

Please note, we are going to be taking some new Infinity photos on Wednesday right after my Basics class. There is no pressure to participate but we greatly appreciate you helping us get images of our beautiful studio into the world.

Saturday Gentle Yoga returns on Sept. 28th with a special New Moon class at a special time. Rather than 10:45-11:45am as usual we’ll start at 10. Let us know soon if you plan to attend. More information below.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed we currently only have 2 evening classes. If you are interested in more evening classes or know someone who would take classes at Infinity if the times worked out better for them, please take this short survey (or pass it on). Thank you!

Dear Infinity Students,

Jacque wanted me to let you know that she’s now able to cool down the studio with the air conditioner so don’t let the heat keep you away!

On that note, please always let your teacher know if the temperature is uncomfortable for you during class. We have the large window AC to accommodate us in the summer and the wall heaters to help keep us warm in the winter.

Our classes are back to our regular schedule this week, with the exception of no Qi Gong on Saturday. Lynn is still adjusting to a new job so if you are planning on attending Qi Gong please get on her personal email list so she can let you know of any changes that come up.

warmly,

Elle
