The Seven Day Instructor Intensive continues on (sorry, no pictures to post yet...) as does the endless rain...
We are sad to share the news of Penny Holden's passing on June 27, 2008. Penny was an amazing woman of strength, beauty, peace and action. Among many other things, she was Burlington's Yoga pioneer, opening the yoga studio on Main Street in the late 1980's. She was a tremendous influence on Kathy, and so many others. Her obituary as published in the Seattle Times.
Rechargeable electric lawn mowers are one of those things that make so much sense, it's hard to understand why they aren't everywhere in this era of eco consciousness...no gas, pollution free, less noise, easy to start... seems obvious. Here's a Neuton 5.2 for sale on craigslist at half the price of a new one...
Not for everyone... but here's our Jenny Sugar as a beautiful Vrschikasana...via fitsugar.com

A perfect July day in Vermont. Shot from the truck window on a drive out to greener pastures...days like today we remember when the world here turns white, grey, and cold. Days of warm skin, quiet breeze, dirt roads, endless pastures, red barns, hills filled with magic, horses gently flicking there tails, freedom and clarity in the sunshine and sweet smell of fresh cut hay.

A dream house in Burlington, owned, restored and loved by beautiful friends... For those of you near and far who know of someone looking for a place that is more than just a place to live, this lovingly restored 1920s Normandy Tudor in the Hill Section, is a place we feel very special about. Restoration choices were made with the artful grace that only someone with a keen design sense places into a lifelong home. Energy efficient, cozy fireplace, light from every angle of the day, views of the lake, slate tile roof, multiple zone heating... and special touches abound both the house and property. This home is an exceptional value, and if there was anyway we could buy it, we would. Maybe you can. Or just dream along with us.
Just a quick note - all classes will be held as regularly scheduled during the week and weekend of 4th of July. There will be some subs, but Kathy and Scott are around as well as most of the other instructors. Out of town guests are welcome as well. See you at the studio!
