Sangati August 2009 Newsletter

Dear Friends of Sangati Yoga and Massage,

It has been a wonderfully full summer of yoga and massage. In these last weeks of summer, may we enjoy the warmth, humidity and sunny days to the fullest expression!

Team Sangati rode their bicycles in the “24 Hours of Booty” with Sarah, Justin and Jen Jordan. We raised nearly $1000 for cancer research. The party was lots of fun and we plan to expand the ride and the fun next year so mark it on your calendars!

Michele is offering Thai Massage for a low summer price of $60 for one hour. Thai Massage feels like someone is doing your yoga for you. Also, we offer 20% off for all new massage clients. Call Sangati to make an appointment.

Hold on to your hats! Sangati is on Facebook. Become a fan, start a discussion group and check out the pictures and upcoming events.

We have several fun workshops coming up. First, the NC Retreat, aka Summer Camp for Yogins, is going to be a beautiful, refreshing weekend of expanding our regional communities of North and South Carolina with each other. There is a beautiful synergy when we all come together, in larger numbers that re-inspires us all to our own individuals practices, paths and lives.

Check out these other awesome opportunities as well:

  • Brooks and two life-coaches are teaming up for a 3-hour workshop called Facing Fear with Fierce Courage including, contemplation, journaling, and yoga on August 28, 5:30-8:30pm.
  • Allison, Lindsay, and Michele are offering a Hip Opener workshop, including massage techniques and yoga poses, on Saturday, August 29, 1-3pm.
  • Sangati is teaming up with the Karma Krew to host a book club on Sunday, August 30, 6:30-8pm. We will discuss “Three Cups of Tea” and take donations for Pennies for Peace, so bring all your loose change or a donation. Pennies for Peace is the author’s non-profit organization, established to help start and sustain new schools in regions of the world that could use our help.
  • Sarah is teaching a Hip Opener workshop September 13th.

To sign up for any of our workshops, please come by the studio or send in payment and registration to secure your spot.

Fall is just around the corner and we are gearing up to have a full schedule of classes and other offerings. Come check us out! Our name Sangati means “endearing community”. . . and we are growing every month!

If you are a student who wants to know more about the multi-layered path of yoga, the 2009-2010 Anusara Yoga Immersion is perfect for you. Please feel free to email or call Sarah to talk more about the in-depth program including the alignment principles broken down, building the poses from basics through towards all the poses on the levels 1 and 2 syllabi, philosophy, breathing practices, anatomy, energy healing, meditation and more.

We are sending you all love and laughter, and thanks for being a part of our wonderful studio.
