ONLINE AUCTION for May 5th Ends Tomorrow!
Greetings from Niyama Yoga
 

I know I normally only send out one email a month, but because the online auction ends tomorrow, I wanted to make sure one last reminder went out. 

In case you missed it, the auction for the May 5th: Show Niyama Some Love event is entirely ONLINE.  The Online Auction for Niyama ends in just under 36hrs. The auction will end at 7:30pm Saturday, May 5th.  All items can be bid on via website or texting, and you don't have to be present at the event in order to win.  

The link for the auction is:
https://www.accelevents.com/events/niyama

How does this work?
When you go to the link, all the items that are up for bid are listed.  Each item has a 3-Letter Code and a minimum, required bid.  Descriptions of items are provided. Scroll through and click on an item you'd like to bid on.  

In order to bid, you can either:
  • create an account providing your email and cell phone.  No credit card information is needed, and bid through the website
  • OR, TEXT your bid by texting (951) 547-0715, and in the message use the 3-Letter code and your bid amount (ie. JOF$80 if you wanted to bid on the Joffrey Ballet Swan Lake item)
Winners of items will have the option to pay by cash or check if they prefer, or by credit card card.  Winners can either pay:
  • the night of the event 
  • the next time you are at the studio
  • or online. 
If you win, you can claim your item the night of the event or the next time you're at the studio.
 
What happens if I get outbid?
You'll receive a text to your cell phone with a notification referencing the item by its 3-Letter code, as well as the the next, minimum-required bid.  You can then choose to reply to the text and submit a new bid, or not.  If you don't reply, you won't receive any further bid information for that item.

If you come to the May 5th event at the studio, we'll have a list of all the items posted, along with descriptions and their 3-Letter codes, for easy reference.  You'll text the 3-Letter code and your bid for the item, and receive immediate confirmation.

And in case you missed it, the May Newsletter is here.

Saturday, May 12th: 2:00-4:30pm
Tantric Vinyasa Extensive with Jim Bennitt
Cost:  $35 in advance (Register Here)

Each Extensive that Jim's offered at Niyama has been different than the previous one.  So even if you've been once, you'll enjoy something new this time around.

In general, a Tantric Vinyasa practice has an intelligent flow with a mindful pace that weaves in subtle yet powerful techniques like pranayama (breath control), bandha (energetic locks), and mudra (gestures to direct energy flow) to cultivate a state of peace. In this class expect to sweat a little, breathe a lot, and leave with the mental clarity that defines yoga. 

Jim Bennitt began practicing in 1997 to help alleviate low back pain but soon found that there was much more to yoga than stretching. From the very beginning he was intrigued by how a flowing practice combined with breath control and meditation helped to bring a mental clarity that he had never experienced before. Jim began teaching in 2002 and in 2009 co-founded Tejas Yoga in Chicago. Jim's classes, workshops, and trainings are unique in the way he weaves in subtle (yet powerful) techniques like pranayama and bandha into vinyasa without losing the flow.

From now until June 2018 the Friday and Saturday Karma classes will go towards improvements for the studio that are much overdue and needed.  After we complete the renovations, we'll have a new local charity that we'll do some good for.
