Monday nite classes ON

Classes are on, but please stay safe. If the roads near you are icy, you can always make up a missed class during another week (maybe after winter would be best!)

Thanks.

All Friday Yoga Classes are Canceled
While the roads are generally passable, the parking situation in Shepherdstown remains challenging. Enjoy your day, and let's hope for enough plowing and thawing to make Saturday classes a go.

Thursday Night Yoga canceled
Friday 7:30 a.m. Yoga canceled

Stay safe, yogis, and please stay tuned for an update on the Friday 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. classes. An update for 9:30 will be posted by (or before) 8:30 a.m. Friday morning.

Thursday night yoga cancelled


Dear classy yogis -- In the interest of safety, I'm canceling our date tonight. Even if your access roads have been plowed, there's a lot of slush that remains, and that's liable to freeze before our class ends. In addition, parking in front of and behind the studio is nonexistent. It's just a perfect night for staying put in the warmth and safety of your homes, do some yoga, and try not to eat too much.

See you next week!

Wednesday night yoga classes cancelled, Jan. 26

We are yielding to the awesome power of nature, marveling at the snowy landscapes all around us. And, more is to come!

Both Wednesday night classes — Gena's "Back-Care Yoga" and Terry's "No-Excuse Yoga" — have been cancelled. You can make up missed classes at any time, including at the end of the session.

Please stay warm, well, and in the light of yoga.

Morning Yoga Snowed-Out (Jan. 26)

sNOw YOga this morning, folks.
the roads and sidewalks are slick, and it's still coming down.
it's a pretty sight, for sure. but, even more heart-thumping is the image of all of us doing yoga in the warmth and safety of our homes, connected by one long ommmmmmmmmmm across the (s)miles....

Friday Morning Yoga - Stay Tuned

Friday morning yoga depends on what happens in the wee hours tonight. For the 7:30 a.m. class, a notice will be updated by 6:30 a.m. If there is, indeed, a notable amount of snow and/or roads are icy, the early class will be canceled. The later morning classes (9:30 and 11:15) might still stand a chance, in any case. Bottom line: Check back later. Good night, fair yogis.

Wednesday morning ON

Apparently, the gloom and doom overnight forecast did not materialize. Just made a road check, and my usually timid Prius had no trouble. So, I'm planning on teaching the Wednesday morning class. That being said, I encourage you to make your own decision regarding road conditions where YOU live. Come, do yoga if you can; or stay home, warm and safe, if it seems more appropriate!

Tuesday night classes ON!!!

Both the 5:30 p.m. (Rebekah) and 7 p.m. (Terry) classes are ON!

As usual, please make a prudent decision regarding your own driving conditions.

Slo-Mo-Yo Cancelled

Dear Slo-Moers!
The roads remain icy sheets where other tires have treaded this morning. It is unlikely to improve by 10 a.m. since the temp still is below freezing. So, stay home, warm and well, make some soup and, while it's cooking, stretch out into the mindfulness, playfulness of yoga.

Tuesday night classes
Hoping for a mid-day meltdown. Please check back here about 4 p.m. for an update.

Wednesday, January 12, 2011

Wed. night classes ON!

The roads in and around Shepherdstown are "mostly" clear, so both Wednesday night classes will be held.

Please use discretion, however, depending on where you live. Our liberal make-up policy spans the current session, through mid-March.

Wed. 7:30 am class cancelled

No need to set the alarm tomorrow morning.
We're canceling the 7:30 a.m. class (Jan. 12).
Even though we're not expecting more than an inch of snow, there is ice under the snow in many areas of our county. It's simply unnecessary to drive to a yoga class under such conditions.

Please check back here later today for a status report on both Wednesday evening classes.

Meanwhile, stay warm and well. Maybe you'll be inspired to do an at-home yoga practice!

Tues., Jan. 11

BOTH Tuesday night classes are cancelled.

We have a situation of freezing rain and 30-degree temps. It's not going to get any warmer tonight, folks, and more snow is due.

At this point, it looks like we'll be canceling the 7:30 am Wednesday class, but please check back early tomorrow (6:30 a.m.) for the final status of that class. Or, stay in bed and plan on making up the class, regardless :)

Keep warm and well and in the light of yoga.

Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2011

Rebekah's 5:30 p.m. "Yoga River" class has been cancelled.
We will report back shortly after 6 p.m. on the status of Terry's 7 p.m. "Yin Yoga" class.

We hope the snowstorm will not amount to much, but we still feel better not taking any chances.

Be well and warm.

Sat., Jan. 8, 2011



Classes will NOT be held today.
Road conditions are "iffy" --
In other words, stay home — stay warm
and well.
There will be ample time
to make up the cancelled
classes.
