onlYoga Parking Update

John Merideth — 2010-05-13T15:59:08-04:00

I think going forward, regardless of the moratorium, EVERYONE should take the new parking restrictions into consideration - parking around the studio has changed and I doubt it will change back anytime soon. ...I realize that Atlanta is a "driving city" but we all need to do our part to reduce our carbon footprint and this is a GREAT opportunity. ...I realize that some of you drive from other neighborhoods or even from outside Atlanta for classes. If you must drive to the studio, there are still lots of free parking options in the midtown neighborhood. I have made a point to drive around before and after my classes over the last two weeks to survey the parking. ...The building housing the publix on West Peachtree has an entire parking lot that is open and free to the public - there have been lots of open spots there every time I check. ...If you want to be close to the studio, i.e. less than .5 block, there are meters surrounding the studio on 8th, 7th, Cypress, etc. ...Finally, I want EVERYONE to know that all the teachers at onlYoga appreciate the time, money and hard work that our students expend to take classes with us! ... Remember, that if you are running late, it is ok to arrive to class a few minutes after we start - there is always a place for you and the door is never locked. My hope in sending out this email is to provide you with information that will might help alleviate some of the stress around trying to park in one of Atlanta's most popular and beautiful neighborhoods!

Happy Birthday

John Merideth — 2009-08-06T11:36:18-04:00

It was on this day, eight years ago, that I taught the first yoga class at onlYoga. As the studio approaches the decade mark (wow!), I feel very blessed to have had this time to explore and enjoy a life altering practice with amazing students! The continued success of onlYoga is due in no small part to all the hard work and support of an entire community. I could not have made it happen without the help of some really talented and dedicated friends - Thank you! I am looking forward to eight more years... ...onlYoga Annual Retreat - Sedona USA 10/24/09 ...The Evolution Of God - Discussion #1 - 9/13/09 Summer 108 Sun Salutations 9/14/09 Antigravity, Flight Of The Yogi 9/20/09 Making Contact - The Joy Of Partner Yoga 9/26/09

Spring Schedule Update

John Merideth — 2009-05-10T01:53:05-04:00

***The Tuesday 6 - 7:30pm Hip Opening and the 7:45 - 9pm Intro class have both been Cancelled. ...Instead of classes being verbally led by an instructor, students practice at their own pace and level. ... The idea behind non-lead practices is to deepen the internal awareness of the individual while also allowing students to progress in their practice in an organic non-hurried manner. Mysore classes are generally longer 3+ hours, giving students flexibility on when to arrive, how long to stay, which postures they wish to work on, etc. Mysore classes are truly polymorphic since anyone with a basic background in yoga can show up and "do their thing". New students are welcome to attend our Mysore sessions, however, they will be limited to learning the Ashtanga basics of tristana (breath, locks, gaze) and the Sun Salutations from Rosalyn or John. ...Mysore classes at onlYoga are about practicing WITHIN the supportive onlYoga community while learning to let go and PLAY on ones yoga mat...remember we often take life way too seriously and that's why it is ONLYOGA! ... Students can arrive anytime after 6pm, however, you should leave a minimum of 45 - 60 minutes to complete your asana practice. In other words, you should try to start your practice no later than 8:15pm (we will turn off the lights and lock the door at 9pm). John Merideth and Rosalyn Nix Tate will both be present to assist and adjust students during their practice.

The Mexico Skinny

John Merideth — 2006-10-21T22:45:09-04:00

The sun was hot, imagine, but the wind was blowing and so the little mosquitoes were not able to attack us. We found the service to be excellent but the food was, well...lets just say that cream of greens soup is not something I am looking forward to trying again anytime soon. ... However, we planed a nice evening down to the bio-sphere to watch the sunset and then drove back and had a delicious dinner at a great little Italian restaurant directly on the beach. ... I think everyone enjoyed the blindfold beach obstacle course the most and some folks were asking if we could do a survivor retreat next year (34 days stranded on the beach with yogis hmmm. We had a very fun week and it felt like most people were left wanting more...which isn't such a bad way to go... We had a few new people join us, one from NYC Joann, who works with Darma Mitra at his studio in NYC. ...We also had Sarah and Meredith Join us again (much to my pleasure) this year from the Pacific North West... ...Gary loves his new MacBook Pro 17" and we had a brief but meaningful conversation about how superior macs are to any other system...on the planet! ...When we inquired why Harriet was wearing a long sleeve shirt and pants on the beach, under a palapas, a wide brimmed hat and 45SPF, she claimed that any exposure to the sun reduced the effectiveness of her Botox. ...Laura Hull finally got her room straight on the last day and seemed to have a grand time on the beach.

onlYogaKids explore the world inside their skin

John Merideth — 2006-09-25T07:05:00-04:00

onlYoga is excited to offer a new yoga class for children. onlYogaKids is an age appropriate yoga class recommended for children between the ages of 4-8. In onlYogaKids classes, children have an opportunity to explore the world inside their skin. The resulting awareness of body and breath can enhance balance, strength, coordination, focus, flexibility and encourages stress release. The Self control experienced in class carries over into self-confidence in daily life. onlYogaKids classes introduce classical yoga postures modified as appropriate for the abilities and needs of children. ...Diane Holbel’s teacher training was with Jonny Kest at his Center for Yoga near Detroit. She has been a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, a national registry of teachers who have met specific training standards, since 2003. Approaching Teacher Training, she was concerned that being a retiree might affect her effectiveness. She was counseled “many people are comforted and inspired by an older teacher,” which she was pleased to find was true. ...A class may focus on relaxation, range of motion, or building strength and stamina, but its goal is always self awareness and self acceptance. ...After being introduced to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in 1999, it has been her favorite personal practice because “it works”.

Anniversary Party

John Merideth — 2006-08-21T14:36:17-04:00

More Pictures 5 Years... I want to thank everyone who attended the five year anniversary party on August 13, 2006. The event was perfectly delicious. I particularly want to thank Harriet Leibowitz for hanging her photographs from India - they made the evening quite special. If you enjoyed Harriet's India pictures be sure to attend her opening "Visceral Beauty" September 30th, 2006 at The Vacknin in the 905 building on Juniper Street. I also want to thank Leigh and David Mallis and Bryan Thompson for helping with the event.

Again thank you for being a part of the onlYoga community and continuing to support this amazing practice! -Namaste John Merideth Studio Director

Buddhist Meditation Classes

John Merideth — 2006-08-21T14:34:11-04:00

Rameshori Buddhist Center of Atlanta, Georgia, teaches meditation classes and practical Buddhist methods for improving the quality of our daily lives and gaining inner peace. They are part of the New Kadampa Tradition of Buddhism , a classic, living tradition which has been re-presented by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso specifically for the West. ...Buddhism has a timeless and universal relevance, and can be practiced by anyone in any culture, regardless of race, gender, or age. Through training in meditation and other Buddhist practices you can improve the quality of your life by developing inner peace, love, and wisdom. ...Buddha explained that all problems and suffering arise from negative states of mind, and that all happiness arises from peaceful, or virtuous, states of mind. Through training our own mind patiently and consistently over time, we can reduce and eventually completely remove negative states of mind. ...The negative mind of anger has no other function but to destroy our inner peace and the peace of those around us. ...But what does having a "good heart" actually mean, and how do we systematically cultivate it through training our mind? Buddha teaches that the supreme good heart is the mind of "bodhichitta," a mind wishing to reach our ultimate potential of Enlightenment for the benefit of others. We each have the potential to achieve a pure motivation for all of our daily actions.

Schedule Update

John Merideth — 2006-07-28T15:53:02-04:00

Saturday 9-10:45am Ashtanga Primary Series Level 2 • Instructor: John Merideth • This class is intended for students familiar with the ashtanga primary series. ... Students new to yoga or unfamiliar with the primary series should seek instructor approval before attending the class. ...Over the next two weeks onlYoga will be transitioning to a new and much improved/easier to use website. ... Going forward, the news blog will contain all of the schedule updates, eNewsletter and other electronic information. ... I find myself deleting and not reading most of the email that I receive (unless it is from a student directly). But a bigger reason is that blogs, although not replacements for email, are a much more effective non-intrusive way to communicate. Our blog will have an RSS feed link so that if you choose to you can bookmark the news page and stay on top of studio news as it is announced. There will also be a blog for the poems and quotes we read at the end of classes and I will have my own onlYoga blog... Overall, I think our students will be better served by this more interactive approach to communication. We will also be adding movies and podcasts...so stay tuned to onlYoga as we continue to evolve.
