September Greetings !
September is National Yoga Month & we have great FREE events this week to celebrate!
Join us this Sunday 9/20 & Monday 9/21 for free yoga AND pilates (See details below)
Our teacher (Shiva Rea) is the catalyst behind Global Mala which is a time when the community and the world come together to celebrate the true essence of yoga. This Sunday, yogis & yoginis from all around the world will be practicing yoga together to give back to those in need. Shiva states that Global Mala is an opportunity to connect with the community at large: across all borders, all styles of yoga, all forms of yoga. It falls during Fall Equinox and United Nations International Peace Day. The ritual of practicing 108 sun salutations or 108 of a mantra combines yoga with action by offering the power of that energy toward a greater purpose. Ananda Shala’s Global Mala support will go to the Frederick County Humane Society. Please bring a bag of dry dog or cat food as a donation to this free event. The FCHS is in need of this food for those who can no longer afford to feed their pets. All other donations accepted as well.
The celebration doesn’t end there. We will continue our celebration of National Yoga Month on Monday with FREE yoga and pilates all day long. We will have classes from 8am until 8pm. We will also have new student class specials and 25% OFF ALL RETAIL for everyone! Our gift for the remainder of national yoga month. This is a wonderful time to bring a friend and share the Bliss you’ve experienced at Ananda Shala. See full schedule below and also online at www.anandashala.com
We have made many changes to the schedule per your request. Many of you are enjoying the new schedule with gentle yoga classes, pilates classes & Pilates equipment sessions. Be sure to continue to give us your feedback!
Blessings in the Flow,
the tribe at Ananda Shala
