A new month begins and some news about class cancellations at the Lutheran Church, and a new class at Hemma:
 
Wednesday Class Cancelled
The Wednesday classes at 5:30PM at the Lutheran Church have been cancelled.  Despite several very dedicated students, the attendance numbers were just not high enough to keep the classes running.  At least for now.

Tuesday Class on March 8th is Cancelled
The Tuesday class at 7:15PM at the Lutheran Church will be cancelled on March 8th due to an event at the church. I believe it is Pancake Tuesday so there may be some delicious pancakes.  View the most updated schedule.

Friday Nights at Hemma
I've started teaching on Friday nights at Hemma Yoga from 6:30 to 7:45PM.  Is there a better way to end the week than yoga?  I will also be subbing Tracey's Vinyasa flow from 5:00 to 6:15PM this Friday (March 4).  Back-to-Back!

Anusara-Inspired Classes at Hemma
The Friday night (6:30-7:45PM) and Sunday afternoon (12:30-1:30PM) classes at Hemma are officially turning to Anusara-Inspired classes.   In essence, there will be no changes to the way I teach the classes, although the Anusara Invocation will slowly be introduced.

On Wednesday, the forecast of 2-4cm of snow turned into a magical 10 to 20cm in Victoria.  This did not stop me from practicing ... and actually, I might have created a new phenomenon.  Snow-ga!!!

Starting a new class tonight at Hemma Yoga [Friday 6:30 to 7:45].  Officially called Anusara-Inspired!

January has been a busy month for me.  There have been some exciting events, meaningful transitions, and important changes that need to be announced.  And that was just making my breakfast this morning ....

Anusara-Inspired™ status
Earlier in the month, I was fortunate to have my application approved for Anusara-Inspired™ status.  There won't necessarily be any changes to my classes; however, I can now actually advertise them as Anusara-Inspired™.  Even more awesome was that another teacher in Victoria, Michelle Larrain, was granted the status as well.

Thursday Class Time Change to 8:00PM (IMPORTANT)
The Thursday class at Barefoot at Heart Yoga has moved from a 7:30pm start to an 8:00PM start.  The studio has been very busy this month, and they needed more time slots available for their classes.  I will teaching an Anusara-Inspired class for Barefoot at Heart Yoga from 6:45PM to 7:45PM on Thursdays.  For these classes, Barefoot at Heart Yoga prices and passes will be used.  The 8:00PM time-slot will be run independantly and still follow the prices and punch cards for Jonathan Boyd Yoga.

Karma Class at Barefoot at Heart on Sunday
On Sunday February 6, I will be teaching the Karma Class at Barefoot at Heart Yoga from 10:30 to 11:30AM.  The Karma class is by donation only.  A minimum donation of $2 is recommended, and all proceeds go to charity.

Friday nights at Hemma
Leave your Friday nights open starting in late February.  I will be teaching another class at Hemma Yoga every Friday, starting February 25.  It will run from 6:30 to 7:45PM.

Subbing and Teaching in Brentwood Bay
On Sunday February 20th, at 10AM, I will be subbing a Hatha class at Breathing Space Yoga in Brentwood Bay.  There is also a 6-week session in the works at Breathing Space for Thursdays starting at 3:45PM from February 10 to March 17.  Ending on St Patty's Day!!!  Please email Monica at breathingspace@telus.net for registration or more information.

Last Classes in Burnaby
Since September, I have been commuting from Victoria to Burnaby every Saturday in order to continue teaching 2 of my old classes.  February 5th will be the last time I do this.  Partly because I want to spend more time teaching in Victoria.  But also because I need time to do my homework ;)

Stay tuned for further updates, and possible future workshops at www.jonathanboydyoga.com

Happy New Year,

It was a busy holiday season for myself.  It was filled with family, food, yoga, and at one point I was briefly working as a flood forecaster.  Life is just full of surprises.  I have some exciting news about classes starting this week, including a new time and a brand new class and location.

Classes Restart Tomorrow - Check the schedule
The Hatha Flow classes resume on Tuesday, January 4th at 7:15PM, and will continue to be every Tuesday afterwards.  It's a great opportunity to begin your New Years Resolution on the right foot, and the left foot as well ;) 

New Class Time on Wednesdays (5:30PM)
Classes on Wednesdays have been moved back by 15 minutes and will now start at 5:30PM and finish at 6:55.  Next class is January 5th.

BRAND NEW CLASS on THURSDAYS @ 7:30PM
I have rented space at a local studio (Barefoot at Heart Yoga) on Richmond at Mayfair [3517A Richmond Rd].  It is a cute, cozy studio that will serve host to some pretty fun classes.  Classes will be 1-hour long and start at 7:30PM.  The first class at the new location will be this Thursday, January 6th.

REGULAR CLASSES at HEMMA YOGA
Over the holiday period I had the opportunity to teach some amazing classes at Hemma Yoga.  I will continue to teach regular classes on Sundays from 12:30 to 1:30PM.  Check them out at www.hemma.ca

Yoga is the opportunity to keep the promises and put them into practice.

See you soon,
Jonathan
