30 Day Challenge Wrap up

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Thanks to those of you that joined us for the 30 Day Challenge in May.

Although no one went to yoga everyday for 30 days, some of you attended almost everyday! 2 participants, Nathalie Down and Janet Stiles, came to 30 classes in 30 days! WOW, that is commitment and dedication! Nathalie also attended 3 classes in one day! Thanks to all of you for sharing your enthusiasm and energy with us.

comment from Janet Stiles:

“When I signed up for the 30 Days of Yoga for May, I had an idea of what May was going to look like for me – everything changed abruptly as it often does in life. Turns out that the only thing that I could count on in May was YOGA everyday – what a blessing!! I tried every single class and was amazed by the diversity of yoga offered at Coastal Bliss. The commonality with all of the classes was the high integrity and focused approach of all of the instructors – they are amazing! I learned much, the yoga was amazing, I love the new studio, and I can’t wait for another opportunity to do 30 DAYS OF YOGA again!!!”

HST in effect July 1st

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

As you all know there will be HST on EVERYTHING as of July 1, 2010.

therefore we will have to adjust our prices accordingly:

New Prices for yoga classes:

Drop in: $16.00

8 Class Pass: $95

12 Class Pass: $128

20 Class Pass: $192

When you buy a new pass it may seem a little more expensive, but when you break it down, it will only be $0.60 -$1.00 more per class. A relatively small price for a huge improvement on your life!!

The prices for yoga mats and other products will not change as we already add 12% tax to these items.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this matter.

New Class starts Saturday June 19th

Friday, June 18th, 2010

starts June 19th: Saturday 6:30pm-8:30pm Sacred Heart Chakra Dance with Dionne

This class begins in a seated circle to center and join the group together, then Dionne and her music flow help lead you into your individual dance experience. Expect to freely move and dance to your own rhythm and creativity. Class ends in a closing circle. Sacred Heart Chakra Dance’s philosophy is closely related to that of Yoga, but the physical aspect of the class is not structured like most yoga classes. No mats or props are used for this class.

Welcome to the alchemical transformational journey of Sacred Dance. Open to the divine flow of Shakti, receive the Grace of Shiva, expand through the light body and in ecstasy we shall celebrate our return to LOVE!

Sacred dance encompasses all movement that expresses or enhances spiritual experiences.

Shakti from Sanskrit shak – “to be able,” meaning sacred force or empowerment, is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that move through the entire universe. Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as ‘The Great Divine Mother’ in Hinduism. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form. Not only is the Shakti responsible for creation, it is also the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti, a mysterious psychospiritual force.

Shiva (also Siva); Sanskrit meaning “Auspicious one”, is a major Hindu deity, and the Destroyer or transformer of the Trimurti, the Hindu Trinity of the primary aspects of the divine. In the Shaiva tradition of Hinduism, Shiva is seen as the Supreme Being. In the Smarta tradition, he is regarded as one of the five primary forms of God.

“A fun experience that leaves you blissfully smiling!”
