Introducing Cleo the Yogi Kitten

[nggallery id=4]

If you’ve been attending classes at Karen’s art studio this past couple of weeks, while the yoga studio is under construction, you have already met Cleo, the Yogi Kitten. She is especially good at checking out the softness of your mat as it’s unrolled.

Cleo was born under our deck to a ferral mother around eight months ago. Both mom and daughter were captured, neutered, and then invited to join us in domestic bliss. Mom passed on the invite, but still comes around for a meal and lately, to pick a fight with Cleo?

The studio expansion is right on track for a January 1st celebration with a Free Day of Yoga from 1-4p — details to come.

Yoga Nidra with Laura Vitale, Sunday, May 22nd, 1-4p

Yoga Nidra, is a systematic method of complete relaxation, not only for the physical body, but also for the deeper emotional and mental layers of being; it works at the root of stresses, allowing the release of subconscious tensions and tendencies that inhibit us from living to our full potential. The technique is used by many different people: those who need an effective relaxation, those who seek increased mental clarity, those suffering from insomnia or who need it as therapy for various illnesses, and those who are learning to meditate.

No previous yoga or meditation experience necessary — $35
