Date: Sunday April 7th
Time: 3:00-5:00 pm
Place:New Earth Music Hall, downtown on Dougherty and Hull
Who: anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and their relationships with other Athens yogis
Cost: $5 suggested donation*
This month, we'll explore the themes of "Growth, Self-Love and the Third Chakra". We'll keep the same general format: 1.5ish hours of led practice, meditations, discussions, mini-workshops, etc. and a vegetarian potluck to close. We have chosen this new day because of feedback that Mondays are too busy for yoga teachers, and we've chosen this new time so that we can all get home with time for productivity, families, homework, etc. afterwards.
As for the new HOME, there are SO many reasons! First and foremost, we LOVE what New Earth is all about! From their Facebook page: "New Earth is a forward thinking, environmentally conscious, and community involved concert venue/bar/event space in Athens, GA." So much more than your typical music venue! They are particularly reaching out to the yoga community by purchasing yoga mats to keep on hand for us and other similar groups and so we're reaching right back to slap them a big ole high five and say "YES! THANK YOU! YOU ROCK!" Also, i think the downtown location will be awesome on a Sunday because people who drive can find free parking, while people who bike or walk will have a central and pleasant destination. I know it leaves bus-riders in the lurch a bit, but if that becomes a problem for anyone let me (sarah) know and we'll get you there! New Earth is also renovating their huge patio which will allow for awesome sunshine-soaking opportunities on our afternoons there.

Last month's gathering felt like a huge shift, in terms of the attendance (12? 15? i forget!) as well as members speaking up with ideas about new directions. Remember that this co-creation is ever-evolving so come jump in anytime and help make this group whatever you need it to be. We will continue to vary the emphasis to highlight learning, community, practice, or whatever else is needed. You can tell I'm pretty stoked about this month and i hope you are too. See you at New Earth this Sunday at 3:00!
