You Do Yoga Newsletter April 2012 Cincinnati Ohio www.YouDoYoga.com

March 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Spring is here Cincinnati! At You Do Yoga we are pleased to announce it's arrival with plenty of reasons to Do Yoga!  We first and foremost would like to thank all of our supporters for voting us one of the best studios in Citybeat's Annual Best of Cincinnati poll. It was an unexpected surprise to receive this recognition and we look forward to another year of continuous improvement to earn your vote again in 2013!

As always, we continue to offer a wide variety of Hatha yoga classes, including Yin Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Taoist Yoga, Core Yoga, Meditation, Prenatal Yoga, and Kids Yoga as well as our Sunday morning Tai Chi class! Here's what's new to our class schedule this April:

Every Sunday from 2:30-3:30 pm at our Anderson Township studio we will are holding a Meridian Exercises class with Shane Coppage. This class will focus on the energy referred to as chi with a series of simple movements for the lower and upper body accompanied by Yin Yoga poses and periods of guided seated meditation. We are also adding two more opportunities to do yoga during lunch at our downtown studio, as we introduce our Power Lunch Hour with Jessica Storms to the schedule on Mondays and Fridays from 11:30am -12:30 pm. Jessica has been a favorite as a sub, and we are very happy now to have her on our schedule on a regular basis. One minor change to our Final Friday schedule, our "Don't Worry, Be Happy-Hour" laughter yoga will now start at 6pm, followed by Acro-jams at 7:30pm. Lastly, our studios will be closed for Easter Sunday, 4/8 - with one exception: Sandi will be teaching a Special Easter Wake-up Yoga class Sunday morning at 10am Downtown! Of course the full class schedule for both our studio locations can be viewed and downloaded at: www.YouDoYoga.com.

We have an amazing line-up of April workshops! Saturday, 4/7 from 1-3 pm our Garden Yin workshop with Shane Coppage will address the need to release tension from yard work and gardening with 2 hours of deep yoga stretching for the wrists, shoulders, sides, hips, & lower back. Also with Shane is our Restorative Workshop on Saturday, 4/28 from 1-3 pm.

We are pleased to continue our monthly sessions of Yoga Nidra at both our studios. Jennifer Thompson will be leading Yoga Nidra sessions on Saturday 4/14 at 4pm in Anderson Township, and Sunday 4/15 at 5:45pm Downtown. These are Donation-based workshops, no prior yoga experience necessary! James Brouillard will lead our Reiki Level II training on Saturday 4/21 from 12:30-8:30pm. Due to the limitations of space and the cost of materials needed, we suggest you Pre-Register for Reiki events! Please visit our website for further information about these and other special events: http://www.youdoyoga.com/Events_Workshops.html

We now offer Massage by appointment in our recently opened Massage Room in Anderson Township! Our services include Massage Therapy, Medical Massage, Thai Yoga Massage, Aromatherapy, Reiki, and more. Please call 513-258-2002 today to make an appointment.

We are still considering running another round of our Taoist Yoga Teacher Training program this year! We have in the past only offered this program once a year, but there seems to be demand for an additional round of our certification program in 2012. We need at least six participants to run the program, and will take no more than 12. If you are interested, dates for both 2012 and 2013 are posted on our website along with details about this unique training program: http://www.youdoyoga.com/Teacher_Training.html

For your convenience you can always pay for your class before you come to the studio. Please visit our website at http://www.youdoyoga.com to pre-pay. Of course you're welcome to purchase the class pass that is best suited for your continuing yoga practice at any of our studio locations!

We have improved the parking lot at the Anderson studio! With the free use of parking spaces at the Marathon gas station and Porter Paint store, and the small additional lot directly behind our building on Paddison Road, we now have parking for at least 30 vehicles! Also, please feel free to use the salon's reserved parking spaces when the salon is not open for business.

That about covers it for this month.... Unless you reply to this address with the subject "remove" we will drop you a line again in May.
