You Do Yoga January 2104 Newsletter www.YouDoYoga.com

CINCINNATI - Dec. 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Happy New Year Yogis! You have before you one of the most exciting newsletters we have ever written, filled with some big announcements about our growing You Do Yoga community. So find yourself a steady, comfortable seat and read on....

No doubt you have been seeing some of the changes to the look of You Do Yoga. As our community and studios have evolved over the past 5 years, we thought it time to re-vamp our outward appearance as well. You'll be seeing our new logo popping up all over, and you'll be able to pick up some Tshirts, bags, and other gear with the brand new brand by stopping into one of our studios. A new and improved website is being de-bugged as we speak, and will be debuted by the end of January. Also, we will be compiling our separate facebook pages into a single "You Do Yoga Cincinnati" page, be sure to like us!  And for you tweeters, follow us @YouDoYoga

Ok, you may have heard some rumors but we'll let the cat out of the bag now, because it's just not very nice to keep cats in bags. Are you sitting down like we asked? We are opening a 3rd You Do Yoga - in Louisville, Kentucky!  With the help of the extraordinary Logan Dunbar, we have secured a wonderful location in NuLu, one of the hottest areas of an already hot town. Saturday February 1st will be the grand opening festival, kicking off at noon with an open-to-the-community Taoist yoga practice, followed by an open house to mingle with our KY crew. The afternoon will bring Acro-Yoga, and then we will close the day with our signature "Asana and Ale", featuring both Cincinnati and Louisville local hOMe-brews. If you're up for a road trip just bring a sleeping bag and pillow, because as you will see, 5100 square feet can house a lot of yogis!  Check out the 'You Do Yoga Louisville' Facebook page for the latest news.

Our next 200-hour teacher training begins January 10th!  We still have spots available if you're one of those last-minute yogis, but please get in touch right now if you want in, space is limited. The next time we will offer our 200-hour program will be in Louisville starting in August of 2014, and then we will run another 200-hour program in Cincinnati in 2015. For those of you who already have a 200-hour certification, our 2014-2015 300-hour advanced Taoist Yoga teacher training is open for registration, starting with our functional anatomy intensive in July 2014. All dates and registration information can be found at http://www.youdoyoga.com/Teacher_Training.html

Our daily class schedules remain relatively unchanged at both Cincinnati Studios, with one exception: Erin's Tuesday evening Downtown Taoist Yoga class will now be held from 5:45pm to 7pm.  By the way, no classes New Year's Eve, evening classes are still on for New Year's Day, and morning classes will be cancelled due to hangovers.

We've got loads of special events coming up, and a few special class series offerings too! There's too much to put the details in here, so to find out more visit our webiste: www.YouDoYoga.com

Valentines Day is near, and once again Matt and Anita are offering "Love is all you need", Partner Yoga and Thai massage for two. Saturday February 15th, 2-5pm in Anderson.

For all events above, pre-registration is required!  All events below are Donation-based, and you are free to drop in for any or all:

Teachings of the East is a series of discussions covering the essential philosophical texts of India, China, and the far East. With Shane at Anderson Township, 6 sessions beginning in January.

Shane is also hosting a few other special events covering the tradition of Zen Buddhism, all taking place at the Anderson township studio. "The Scenery of our Life", January 5th 1-3pm is a discussion of our relationship to Reality as we sit in seated meditation. February 9th, 3:30-5:30pm is "Like an Awakening Dragon", exploring the symbolism of the dragon as it relates to our practice. Also, Dharma study groups continue on the 2nd Sunday of each month.

We also want to mention that we are very honored to be involved in bringing the therapeutic benefits of yoga to our nation's veterans. Recently, several of our instructors received training to teach yoga and meditation practices to those most in need, suffering symptoms of post-traumatic stress. This initial work will be part of a pilot study, and will be used to eventually expand our offerings of yoga to all veterans and other people who have been through traumatic events. If you are, or know anyone who is a veteran, please contact us.

It's a good time to announce our class cancellation policy for winter weather - No classes will be held if the City of Cincinnati declares level 2 or higher snow emergency. We will post ASAP on the You Do Yoga Cincinnati Facebook page, and tweet from @YouDoYoga if weather will delay or cancel classes.

Well, thats enough for now. Unless you reply to this address with the subject "remove" we will drop you a line again in February, and remember - you can LIKE us on Facebook (You Do Yoga Cincinnati, You Do Yoga Louisville) and to follow us on Twitter @YouDoYoga. Be sure to visit our website regularly at www.YouDoYoga.com for updates.

Namaste!
