What’s new at Love Yoga?
Sleep better, breathe better, feel better with Yoga
Yoga might possibly be the most perfect form of exercise: It cultivates cardiovascular health and musculo-skeletal strength and flexibility without the painful and damaging side effects of high impact activity. It tunes up every organ system-respiratory, digestive, reproductive, endocrine, lymphatic and nervous. It cultivates the body’s capacity to relax and dramatically reduces the negative effects of stress. With regular practice, we breathe better, sleep better, digest better and feel better. And the best part for many Americans, is that none of these amazing results require years of training. The benefits are immediately noticeable.
We are, by and large, a practical people. Yoga is a practical endeavor. (Stephen Cope, author ‘The Wisdom of Yoga’.

Tickets available at the Albany Wine Walk website. There will possibly be yoga from 5:30-6:30 in the back part of the studio… if you’re willing to participate during the wine walk. Depends on how many are willing. So let us know.
MAY 7th 12-1pm
FREE YOGA 101. Introduction to the basics of coming to yoga class. If you’re feeling unprepared or hesitant to just drop in to a class… this will give you enough information for you to feel comfortable attending any of our classes. We demonstrate some of the poses, introduce the breathing techniques, cover all the studio information and then have a Q&A session.
MAY 14th
LIVE WELL AGE WELL EXPO at the Linn County Fairgrounds. This expo offers numerous options for seniors in the valley… everything from transportation to health care. Love Yoga will be doing a demonstration yoga class at noon! Bring your parents!
MAY 15th
TEEN WORKSHOP. 4-6pm. FREE intro to Yoga with music, food and fun. Kids ages 13-19 can discover ways to increase physical strength in a non competitive environment while listening to music of their choice. Yoga isn’t all about sitting quietly and stretching. Vinyasa yoga for example can be lively and entertaining… it all depends on your playlist! Beatles Vinyasa is coming. Perhaps Hatha with Hip Hop could be next???
Watch for more events coming up for Summer: Our Summer Solstice Celebration June 21st., Our Summer Special on the unlimited passes and possibly even a summer retreat in late August…. we’re still working on that one. More details next month!

April Schedule – more classes, new times!
Being present is about awareness….and since we’d like you to ‘be present’… here are some changes you should be aware of:
First we’ve moved our 6pm classes to 5:30pm. (Now you can immediately relieve all your work related stress.)
Secondly, we’ve added two lunch hour classes at noon
. (12:05 actually). The class will actually be approximately 50 minutes, so if you’re running a little late, no worries. Also there are 4 restaurants on the block to grab a quick lunch afterwards. (Clemenza’s, Cappies, Boccherinis and First Burger)
Thirdly, the Power class on Tuesday nights will now be 1 hour. This is a stronger version of the Yoga Basics class.
Lastly, we’ve added a 9am Saturday morning class for the early birds!
