Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. --Hamilton Wright Mabie

Hello Friends!

Here we are, it’s - or should I say, tis the Holiday season again!  The holiday season is always a time of reflecting for me, musing on where the months went, whether my time and energy was spent wisely, could I have been kinder to people, could I have worked less and played more, (or should I have played less and worked more??), did I surround myself with the kind of people that I want in my life, did I eat too much chocolate and not enough greens, did I always use my energies for creating positive change and growth,  did I tell my family and friends that I loved them enough, did I do my own yoga practice enough, is there anyone that I should apologize to, is there anyone that I need to forgive, did I carpe diem it enough… and the list goes infinitely on.  And then I remember that everything is absolutely perfect.  Everything that needed to happen, happened.  What I wasn’t ready for, didn’t happen.  I feel so incredibly blessed to be who I am and where I am.  I look forward to more growths.  So, remember to slow down a little bit and be grateful for the abundance that is everywhere and to quote Jewel,  “It’s all here.  Always.  Everywhere.”

 

This season at Yoga by Sarah, we are celebrating 7 years in business and 4 full years in our studio location on Queenston St.  We are having our annual Open House, next weekend Friday, December 16 and Saturday, December 17.  Please join us to celebrate, we would love to see you!  I can not express the amount of gratitude that is in my heart for all of our previous and current staff, students, members and associates who have all played a part in the growth of our local yoga studio.

 

The open house will offer special promotions and discounts on all of our memberships, packages and merchandise.  Scroll down to our flyer below for exact details – the membership promotions are available now through the open house weekend, however the merchandise promotions are only available during the open house hours!  As usual, there will be some refreshments, draws and door prizes!    So, if you are unable to make it out to the open house but want to renew, purchase or extend a membership you can do so anytime before December 17! 

 

You can visit our website www.yogabysarah.com for more information on our January classes, everything is updated!  Please note that there is a slight price increase effective January 1, 2006 (the prices posted on the website are the 2006 prices) on all of our programs, so it’s a good opportunity to purchase during the open house and receive 10% off of the current 2005 prices for Drop-In Yoga Memberships and 10% off the 8 week January pre-registered classes.  Our next 8 week session commences the week of January 16 including:  Beginner Hatha Yoga, Beginner Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Pilates, Prenatal Yoga, Baby and Mom Yoga, Family Yoga, 50+ Therapeutic Gentle Yoga, Exotic Movement and Bellydancing.

 

As always, we are only a phone call or e-mail away – myself or one of my staff are always ready to answer any questions, give you information or to get you registered!

 

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Om Shanti and Infinite Blessings,
