Hi beautiful yogis,
Hope you are enjoying this beautiful summer-like weather and spending some time outside underneath that beautiful blue sky. Here are some news about what has been happening.

Most of you already know that the whole property where the Blue Spirit yoga studio is located, including the studio, is for sale. At the moment the date of sale is unknown. Fingers crossed the studio keeps running with the new owner but if not, we should still have another 6 weeks after the place is sold. I will keep you updated.
Also huge “thank you” to everyone for suggesting some places where I could possibly transfer my classes if the Blue Spirit doesn’t continue running. It is so nice of you all and I really appreciate it so much. For the moment being, I have decided to put “looking for new spaces” on hold and wait what will happen.

I WILL BE AWAY…
I will be away for a week and a bit during school holidays since this coming Sunday the 15th of April till Tuesday the 24th, back to teach on Wednesday the 25th. This means that classes will not be on on Tuesdays the 17th and 24th, Wednesday the 18th and Friday the 20th of April. If you are coming to Fairmont, the two Sundays at Fairmont will be covered by the beautiful Jill.

CHANGE OF PRICING
After giving it a proper thought and it hasn’t been an easy decision to make, I have decided to increase the cost of my classes. I did a bit of research when I was opening a new class in Springwood six weeks ago, and also to be able to feed my giant furry kids which don't seem to stop growing (and to occasionally feed my husband too ;-), I have decided to adjust my pricing. A casual visit will be $20 (instead of the current $15) and a 10 class pass will be $170 (instead of the current $130). The pricing will change from the 14th of May which means there will be almost three weeks after I come back from holiday when you can decide to still buy a new 10 class pass for the original price if you want to.
Of course, it is a bit tricky with not knowing if we will stay practicing at Blue Spirit after it’s sold, whether to invest in a new 10 class pass or not. I will do my best to keep the times of the classes as they are and also to find a nice quiet place close by in case we have to move into another location. I will be also sending another email when we know more details about what is happening and if you are on a 10 class pass, I will be in touch with you to check whether you can continue practicing in a new location (if we need to move). In case you can’t, I will organize the return of the money for the rest of your classes to you. Please feel free to talk to me about this before or after class if this sounds unclear, or even feel free to message or email me, I will be very happy to answer your questions.

LITTLE INSPIRATION
A little post about appreciating what we have and giving life a bit of slack. I shared this on my facebook, instagram and my blog three weeks ago but in case you haven't seen it, you can read it hear...hope it will inspire you to find peace with life as it is :-)

When I was waiting for my students to come to class on Wednesday night, I noticed Tibetan-Prayer-like flags hanging in the Blue Spirit yoga studio…I remembered I had noticed them and read them before but I guess as it is with everything that stays unchanged, both in our outer and inner world, those things are hard to notice/appreciate again and again…only when things suddenly or profoundly change, when something becomes new, when we gain or lose something, we notice it…and I thought what a human predicament that we often see the things we don’t have, instead of appreciating what we already have, what has been there the whole time…and especially in our inner world...
We often strive to become somebody else, and it’s natural to keep wanting to grow and evolve but it is also so important to appreciate who we have become and who we are right now…the truth and beauty of life is we will all be shaped and moulded by the experiences we go through in our lives (by the natural process of life itself) and hopefully we will become beautiful pieces of “life art” if we are open and present and willing to learn…maybe, instead of trying so hard all the time, we just need to give life a bit of slack and trust it will throw our way experiences we need to gain more understanding, compassion and acceptance for ourselves and life in general   
Here are some beautiful words to maybe reflect on on a rainy day in the Blue Mountains, from the Tibetan-Prayer-like flags hanging in the Blue Spirit yoga studio
- TRANQUILITY - the peace that comes when energies are in harmony, relationships are in balance.
- HAPPINESS - when one’s spiritual needs are met by untroubled inner life. Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.
- COURAGE - not the absence of fear or despair, but the strength to conquer them.
- PEACE - to bring peace to the Earth, strive to make your own life peaceful.
- WISDOM - knowledge, intuition and experience combine to guide us in thought and deed.
- LOVE - an inspired form of giving, love breathes life into the heart and brings grace to the soul
