Dearest Ones,

Here’s to another wonderful week! Thank you all who celebrated the full moon with us on Wednesday. It was one of the most powerful astrological ‘tipping points’ of the whole year. Together, we were able to tap into those unique transformative powers to manifest our dreams.

It occurred to us this week that we never really properly introduced you to our new studio. It is a wonderful, fabulous, marvelous, magical space and we love gathering in person with you there after being online only for a year and a half. So that’s what we’re dedicating this week’s newsletter to.

We also want to remind you about Cate’s upcoming fertility series, as well as Meredith's yoga for recovery series, both of which are ready to sign up for.

Wahe Guru! ~~~Savitri, Cate & Your MKY Family

Wonderful, Fabulous, Marvelous, Magical Studio

Those of you who have joined us in the new studio know how awesome it is, and for those who haven’t, we would like to introduce you to this wonderful space. We look forward to seeing you there soon.

Montclair Kundalini Yoga is now located at 292 Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair, NJ, on the third floor, above the Greek Taverna restaurant. We have an elevator, abundant parking and two pristinely appointed bathrooms. The central practice space is very generous, with arching ceilings that remind me of a cathedral when we chant and sing. If self- care is what you’re looking for, much of the building is dedicated to health, fitness and spa type services.

Our friend, the popular Fitness Guru Rawn Brown, lovingly renovated this 3rd floor space for his close-knit Rawn B. Fitness “Family” and the familial feel is just what we were looking for to share with all of you. We feel so fortunate.

The studio is just beautiful and has great energy that everyone comments on. The acoustics for our sacred music is amazing and the location is convenient and safe. Cleanliness and abundant personal space is important to everyone right now, so we limit attendance for all MKY classes and events so there is plenty of space to spread out as we experience the rich fellowship of being together as a community. We encourage all to sign up prior to class and to bring your own mat, water, props or blanket as needed.

Some of the comments we’ve gotten from members of our community are; “the studio shines with a light all its own”, “It is really convenient for me to get here”, “I love having lunch at the Greek Taverna after class”, “The acoustics are amazing, best sacred music concert I’ve ever been to!”. “I swear I heard angels singing when you played the crystal singing bowls and gong together in this amazing space!” And so many walk in and say - “It’s absolutely beautiful, GREAT energy!”.

After class we love to go to the Greek Taverna downstairs for lunch; I especially like their vegan options and generous portions. Thoughts in Motion Café is not far away, so we often stop by there after class too for Chai or chia pudding, and we love it when you can join us.

We couldn’t be happier about where we’ve landed and we look forward to sharing this sacred space with you on Saturday’s and Sundays from 11:30 to 1:00, as well as monthly full moon celebrations and special sacred music concerts. We are also planning to resume our listening circles and in-person Reiki trainings in the studio very soon. Our online class schedule also continues. Sign-up for all classes and events is available at: MontclairKundaliniYoga.com.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Cate’s Online Fertility Support & Yoga

In partnership with NJ Acupuncture & Wellness, we are offering an online weekly support group with yoga for women on a fertility journey. The path to fertility can be a lonely one, but it doesn’t have to be. Let's come together and support ourselves and one another. Our focus will be on releasing anxiety through talk, movement, breath exercises, relaxation, and meditation. Your facilitator will be Cate Baily, RYT-500, an experienced yoga instructor and meditation coach. Cate will provide a safe, comfortable environment and guidelines for keeping discussion supportive and sensitive. Lift each other up and relieve your own stress! The investment in yourself for this entire series is $120.

Kundalini Yoga for Recovery with Meredith

Meredith Kates will be offering her six month ‘Kundalini Yoga for Recovery’: a supportive practice which specifically applies the techniques of Kundalini Yoga to transform the self-destructive patterns of addiction, to heal and to establish more elevating habits. This series incorporates elements of both twelve step recovery programs and Kundalini Yoga and meditation techniques. It is appropriate for both newcomers and more experienced yoga students. ‘Kundalini Yoga for Recovery’ will meet online the first Sunday afternoon of each month for six months, starting in November. The investment will be $120. Stay tuned for the sign up link in next week’s newsletter.
