CINCINNATI - Oct. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Happy Fall Yogis and Yoginis! As the days grow shorter and cooler, keep your spirits lifted with these great You Do Yoga classes and special events:

Our Anderson studio schedule features a few new additions, like Gentle Yoga with Rosalie on Friday Mornings, Zazen with Shane twice a week, and Taoist Yoga with Erin on Wednesday. Of course all of your other favorite classes are still on the roster as well!  Downtown we are handing our Thursday night Yin Yoga class over to Cynthia, and we are moving Cynthia's Tuesday morning early-bird class to 6AM to accommodate the changes in daylight hours.

Our next round of Taoist Yoga Teacher Training is coming up fast! The Yoga Alliance approved 200-Hour certification begins January of 2014, and we have a Pre-registration deadline of November 1, 2013. Enrollment is by acceptance only and group size will be limited, so if you are interested please contact the Director of teacher training, or plan to attend one of our upcoming Open House information sessions. During the information sessions we will be giving an overview of what makes our training different than most others, allow time for questions from prospective trainees, and have the chance to look over the agendas and training materials. Come and join us at our Downtown studio Sunday October 6th 5:30-6:30pm, or at our Anderson Township studio Sunday October 13th 5:30-6:30pm. And for you 200-hour certified teachers out there, it's not too early to start thinking about our Yoga Alliance approved 300-hour Advanced Taoist Yoga teacher training, we'll be starting another round next year!

Monks have brewed beer since the dawn of time, and there's a handful of yogis continuing that tradition. Saturday, October 26th at 6:30pm we will host another "Asana and Ale" event at our Anderson studio. An all-levels yoga practice comes first, and then you can stick around for appetizers provided by our friends at HealthSavor, and sample a variety of very local hOMe-brews! If you are a brewer too and want to show off your work, get in touch with us to arrange a donation. And if you don't pre-register, there may not be enough beer for you, so hop (get it? hop!) on our website now and let us know if you're planning to attend: http://www.youdoyoga.com/Asana_and_Ale.html

The last of this year's Second Sunday on Main is October 13th! The free street festival starts at noon, so we will still hold our morning classes at the downtown studio, but afternoon classes will be replaced by an open house featuring Acro-Yoga starting at 1pm, art displays, and time for folks to come in and use our space for their personal practice. Stop by and see us, and see more details at http://www.youdoyoga.com/Second_Sunday_on_Main_St.html
