November 30 Day Challenge

We had a super fun weekend at Coastal Bliss with our 30 Day Wrap Party on Friday night. This was our most well attended 30 Day Challenge yet and we gave away lots of t-shirts to everyone who did 30 or more classes in 30 days. The grand prize went to Marni Recker with 43 classes in 30 days! Way to go Marni. The 30 Day Challenge is such a fun event and it definitely warmed the studio through the cool dark days of November. Thanks to everyone who took part, you inspired the whole community. Our next 30 Day Challenge will be in April.

On Saturday night we had a very special evening with Mojave at Coastal Bliss. The

Mojave at Coastal Bliss

event was a fundraiser for Stillpointe Sanctuary and started off with a 60 minute flow class taught by Natalie followed by an intimate live acoustic show with Paul and Lisa Jarvis. It was a beautiful evening and as a community we were able to raise $300.00 for Stillpointe.

Our next community event will be on Dec 21st when we will hold our annual 108 Sun Salutations Event from 5-7pm. Space is limited so please sign up soon at the studio for this special event.

Wrap Up Party & Pass Sale

Come out and celebrate the folks who did the 30 Day Challenge this month. We’ll have door prizes, a Yoga Pass Sale, and tea and snacks. We’ll also be marking down our yoga props and gear as well as offering our locally made Coastal Bliss hoodies. This will be a great opportunity to buy someone you love (such as yourself!) a yoga pass or mat for Christmas.

Friday Dec 2nd 7:30-9pm  Open to Everyone!

AcroYoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages blend to form this practice that cultivates trust, connection, and playfulness.

The deeper we send our roots, the higher we can rise. In this workshop we’ll ease into the practice of AcroYoga with a grounding in the fundamentals. Working together, we’ll develop trust & communication, and strike the balance between strong support & true relaxation. Building up from this firm base of connectivity we’ll guide the body to let go of tension while finding the flow of basing and flying, giving and receiving, inhaling and exhaling. Practice will include asana, partner acrobatics, gentle therapeutic flying and soothing Thai massage.

Come support and be supported. Bring a friend or meet a new one here.

Prerequisites:

Basic yoga experience.

Comfortable with being upside down.

When: August 11th 1 pm-4 pm

Where: Coastal Bliss Yoga Studio

Cost: sliding scale $30-40
