This means that once 5 students have prepaid for the Tuesday class it will be added to the schedule and once 5 students have prepaid for the Friday class it will be added to the schedule.    If the minimum number of students is not met by the end of September, then the classes will not be added to the schedule.    If you prepay for a 6 week series and the class is not added to the schedule, onlYoga will refund your payment in full.  

...If you are interested in registering for either morning class send an email to John Merideth and then prepay for a series online using the secure onlYoga store:


...A: If you miss one session but sign-up for a subsequent 6 week series, the value of the class will be deducted from the total price of the next series.  

...However, drop-ins will not count toward the minimum number required to form a class.


...A: Once 5 students have prepaid for one or both of the 6 week series.


Q: Can I apply some of my current or expired classes, from a preexisting class card, to pay for a series?


...Q: What if one of the classes falls on a holiday or during a time that the studio is closed?

We have decided to drop the Saturday afternoon class for the time being.


The Spring schedule will be released in the next 10 days.  &nbsp; Please let us know if you have any special requests for class times, styles, etc.  &nbsp; With the advent of Spring, our evenning classes will shift back to 5pm, 6:15pm and 7:45pm.


Leigh is officially on maternity leave.  &nbsp; While she is away (hopefully not too long) Michael, Jessica and yours truly will pick up her classes.  &nbsp; Please bear with us as we make this shift and offer Leigh time to birth baby Mallis.  &nbsp; We will all miss her while she is away and look forward to her post birthing return...


As always, we thank you for your continued support of onlYoga!

It is an intermediate primary series class taught by John Merideth.


As many of you know Leigh is getting closer and closer to the birth of baby Mallis.    She is due April 07, 2007.    She is doing very well and continues to teach great classes at the studio!    However, she will be on maternity leave in the not too distant future...so you should definitely stop in and see her for a class soon.    Also, Leigh recently returned from a pregnancy yoga training in LA and is now ready to offer pre and post natal pregnancy yoga privates...so hurry up and get pregnant!


Finally, day light savings will happen earlier this year (the second sunday in March).    So remember to set your clocks an hour ahead and stay on the look out for a great Spring class line up from onlYoga beginning in April.

I want to specially thank Laura Hull for her incredible effort and good sense over the last few weeks - THANK YOU!  


I have finally started adding audio classes currently we have a great meditation and a full primary series available for download (samples of the classes are available on the details page).  ...  This will enable you to mix and match different parts of the practice and make new playlists with original practices.    So if one day you want to do 10 sun salutations and a guided meditation and the next warm up with a hip opening class and then move into a backbend series, you can simply set up a play list with the appropriate pieces of a practice and away you go.    I hope this keeps our audio class section fresh and while I don't think it will replace a practice at onlYoga...at least it will provide you with some of the originality you have come to expect from us.


Below are links to the two latest additions - I will be adding more in the next few days - so check back often:  onlYoga Audio Classes


...We have some great new features: like eVites (invite a friend to join you for an event), wish lists, and a very flexible account system.  ...  Leigh has ordered some new flavors form the Pacifica candle line and we have some beautiful handmade yoga cards on the way from California.


As always - Thank You for your continued support of onlYoga...and Happy Spring is on the way!

Monday 6:15 - 7:45pm - Primary Series Level 1 - Instructor: John Merideth


Description: The Primary Series is the foundation of Ashtanga Yoga.   This intermediate level class will cover the entire primary series and is designed for students with a desire to explore some of the more challenging standing and seated postures as well as backbends, headstands, etc.   Students should be familiar with the Ashtanga sun salutations and standing postures.   By practicing the Ashtanga Yoga primary series in the traditional way, using the rhythm of the breath and the continuous flowing movements of vinyasa between poses, we integrate the body, mind and spirit into a full and complete experience. (intermediate) Prerequisite: 5-10 or more intro level classes.

...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.

...Diane Holbel&rsquo;s teacher training was with Jonny Kest at his Center for Yoga near Detroit.  &nbsp; She has been a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, a national registry of teachers who have met specific training standards, since 2003.  &nbsp; Approaching Teacher Training, she was concerned that being a retiree might affect her effectiveness.  &nbsp; She was counseled &ldquo;many people are comforted and inspired by an older teacher,&rdquo; which she was pleased to find was true.

...&nbsp; A class may focus on relaxation, range of motion, or building strength and stamina, but its goal is always self awareness and self acceptance.

   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.   It is hard to believe that five years has come and gone so quickly - I can't imagine what the next five years hold.   Again thank you for being a part of the onlYoga community and continuing to support this amazing practice!   -Namaste John Merideth Studio Director

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.

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.
