om nom nom shanti shanti om.

INTRO TO YOGA with AMANDA & BRANDON COMPAGNONE
the day of the pearl st/northampton show!:
friday, nov 13th
2:45-around 4 pm

right near the venue!:
17 strong ave
http://northamptonyoga.net/

$5 at the door!
 
so...y'all may already know that i love yoga. i love it more than muffins, love it more than love itself.
i do it pretty much every day, it's a huge part of my life, and i can't say enough good things about it.
yoga isn't just a stretching routine...it's a form of meditation, a technique to meld your brain and your body back together & connect you the great awesomeness that is now.
ANYBODY can do yoga. it is not, contrary to bizarre popular belief, for "flexible" people, "spiritual" people...it's for EVERYBODY.
 
one of my favorite yoga teachers of all time, brandon, who i know from his teaching days in boston, just opened a little studio in northampton, MA.
i thought it might be fun to get a group of people over to his studio on the day of my northampton show for an intro-to-yoga hour.
we'll chat about yoga and practice some...experienced yoga-doers welcome and total beginners encouraged!
i'll be stretching out with you and assisting the class, then heading to the venue just in time for soundcheck.

the studio is limited to FORTY PEOPLE, so we're going to create an RSVP list to make sure we don't leave people waiting outside.
if you know you're coming, RSVP to hayley@amandapalmer.net with full name. she'll confirm your place on the RSVP list.
put YOGA in the subject, please, so she can sort.
the class will cost $5 when you arrive.

if you come, important info!:
1.
BRING A YOGA MAT! a plain work-out mat is fine, too. borrow one if need be!
if you have an extra mat, BRING TO SHARE! the studio only has a few rentals.
2.
the classroom is HEATED!!!! bring clothes you can SWEAT IN and CHANGE OUT OF AFTER CLASS.
a plastic bag to carry away wet clothes is a wise idea...
3.
also bring WATER and a TOWEL.
4.
lastly.....it's very important to BE ON TIME. we'll be sitting down at 3 sharp, so arrive at around 2:45 at the latest! (2:30 is super safe).
if you're planning life, the LATEST you'll get out of the room is about 4:15 or 4:30.


here's a picture of brandon being awesome in the studio.
look, everybody's upside down.


namaste motherfuckers!

ALSO....for all y'all in northampton, spread the word about this.
there's no way to promote this outside using the web, so email local folks and twitter the link.

Same. Wish I could join in this shindig, but getting up to Northampton in time for the gig itself is likely to be tight!

Just an update -

The class list is approximately 60% full so if you were THINKING about it, don't wait too long because it will surely reach capacity.

Also, I've sent a confirmation email to EVERYONE who emailed in. If you emailed me and haven't received an email back confirming that you're on the list please check your spam folder and if it's still not there, just EMAIL ME AGAIN.

I've always had a hard time with yoga because I'm fat and doing some of the poses is tough for me.

I was going to take this "yoga for round bodies" course once but never got around to it.

Is there a introduction to yoga program out there that's fat friendly and inexpensive?
