Our June Picnic 2022
Our June picnic will be held Saturday June 4th. Yola Johnson has volunteered her home on Grosse Ile for our location. Thank you so much Yola. While I know this will be a bit of a drive for some I encourage you all to car pool or call me if you need a ride or want to go with someone. We can all bring a dish to pass, our yoga mats and blankets and enjoy a hopefully beautiful day in community with our fellow yogi’s. Yola’s address is posted in the Tapas or in the Membership Directory on our webpage.
I have agreed to post the foods that people will be bringing for our pot luck lunch. Please email or call Char Vukonich @248-535-3101/ fitnessfan1@mac.com with your dish to pass so we can avoid duplicates:

Lecture form our Feb 5th Member Mtg
Member Usha Shah gave us information about Acidity/GERD, its symptoms, and why it happens. She talked about ways to address these issues with yoga, mudra’s, and acupressure points. Really a excellent presentation.
Usha recorded the session and posted the link to it on her FB page at shashaholisticwellness.

Introducing our newest studio member
The Studio
Located at 309 S Troy St. Royal Oak,MI.48067 and committed to providing Yoga that is all-inclusive.
Namaste has been the heart of Royal Oak for over 20 years. You do not have to be thin or flexible to practice. The poses meet you where you are, no matter where you are. You are your own guru, meaning you adapt the poses to your body. You don’t struggle to meet them; they rise to meet you. You affect a balance of comfort and strength, steadiness and ease. It doesn’t matter who you are, how you’re shaped, or your level of fitness. Yoga is an individualized practice, that you will tailor perfectly to fit you. As you change, yoga will continue to meet you where you are. https://namaste-yoga.net

When you decide what dish you plan to bring, email Char Vukonich so that she can put it here to avoid duplications. We’ll wear masks, except when eating. There will be a brief business meeting and a short standing/sitting asana practice, so no need for mats. We won’t be exchanging gifts this year.

2021 Fall Retreat
A great time was had by all the people who attended. Here are some pictures:
Yoga Down River
I recieved a email about available space below:
Hello, I was inquiring if there were any instructors who might need space for their classes / practice in the downriver area? I have an indoor facility that would be great for a yoga class. We have 14000 sq ft.
Thank you

Update from Studio Member Chela Yoga
Chela Yoga LLC was established in 2011 as a RYS200 yoga school. Like many the Covid pandemic had a big impact on the brick and mortar space, causing Chela to close its physical doors in July of 2020. Chela took to zoom to bring Yoga into the homes and offices of its students where they were able to offer 10 plus classes weekly online over the last 18 months. Marlo Ziegler ERYT500, Owner of Chela Yoga, has been teaching traditional Yoga since 2003.
With her vast knowledge of different styles of Yoga and healing modalities, she is excited to announce that this September 2021 Chela Yoga LLC will reopen its physical doors in a new location just a mile from its previous home. New location is 72 N. Williams Lk Rd, Waterford 48327. Chela will offer a hybrid of online/in-person classes specializing in a variety of styles from your fast passed more physical styles like Hatha, Vinyasa to slower based therapeutic yoga styles such as yoga for chronic pain, recovery, aging bodies, beginners basics, introduction to props, yin, restorative, mindfulness and meditation.
Chela will also be offering a hybrid online/in-person Yoga Alliance accredited RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training starting this Sept. This is a 15 week course that dives deeply into the philosophy of yoga starting with the Yamas and Niyamas.
For more information check out www.chela-yoga.com or call Marlo at (248)860-6681
*YAGD current members receive 15% off this September RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training.
