The Billiard Table is GONE… all that remains currently are the slates and hopefully they too are on their way out. Andrew McGlip, Arlington manager, was as good as his word and the removal was done during the Christmas break.
Classes have been having the January surge with high attendance and good energy. Thank you to those familiar faces returning and we are welcoming some new ones.
I appreciate the word of mouth and positive feedback that practitioners are putting out there, creating a lovely community within the Arlington classes.
There are spaces in all classes but morning Breathing Bones class numbers could do with a boost so please spread the word.
The counted vinyasa Tuesday evening class is well attended and continues to provide a focus for the learning of the beautiful sequence that is the Ashtanga Primary Series. It is suitable for all levels except absolute beginners. Feel free to try it.
The Introduction to Yoga course on Wednesdays 1, 8, 15, 22 February has a few places, so book your place if you have been considering it.
The course will provide clarity about the fundamental elements of the Primary Series developing clarity in the standing postures and finishing sequences. Worth considering if you would like to improve your understanding of these challenging and constantly rewarding asanas.
I am enjoying seeing many of you 3 or more times a week. As I would like it to continue I am fine tuning the prices and offering an unlimited monthly pass in order to make the programme affordable.
