Greetings Friends and Family,*
2011 has been a wonderful year! As I look back on this year of yoga, I am filled with gratitude for so many amazing experiences. Although I was sad to close the Awesome Yoga Studio at the beginning of the year, I could not have guessed the wonderful experiences that were waiting!
Abundant Yoga Project
A BIG Thank you to EVERYONE for making the Abundant Yoga Project a success! We raised hundreds of dollars for women and children in Haiti. The cheque was sent to Off the Mat into the World on Friday. Thank you for sharing your abundance!
Live Yoga Studio and Christmas Special
I am thrilled to have joined Live Yoga Studio as a teacher and Community Development liaison. I will be teaching Sunrise Yoga, Family Yoga, and Men's Yoga in January! Come and join me, I would love to see you there! As a Christmas Special, Live is offering a FREE YOGA CLASS for any gift certificate purchase of $25 or more. Giving and receiving at its best! For more information check out their site by clicking here.
FunRaiser Yoga
Inspired by the Abundant Yoga Project, I have developed a new LOCAL project- FunRaiser Yoga. FunRaiser Yoga is a community project linking the health benefits of yoga to local community fundraising initiatives. FunRaiser Yoga offers private group yoga classes/events with a portion of all proceeds going DIRECTLY to the organization of your choice. Yoga classes are tailored to meet the needs of anyBody- from beginner to advanced, there is something for everyone! Forget candy bars and magazines- it is time for a real FunRaiser. To find out more- click here!
I look forward to the adventures that 2012 will bring. I wish everyone a very happy holiday season. May it be filled with many warm memories with those you love.
Cheers!
Jay

Healthy Habits -Pay it Forward!
Fall is a time of beautiful transition.

Then pay it forward. Take the Healthy Habits Challenge and pledge any amount ($0.25-$5.00) for each time you invest in yourself. The challenge ends December 2011, so start today! You can solidify a positive new habit in 40 days, take the challenge and that healthy habit will be yours! The more we invest in ourselves, the more we can share with others! Turn your abundance into clean water and shelter for other women. A total WIN-WIN! Get more info and a pledge sheet here.
