July is travel month to many:  vacation time!   An excerpt from Swami Rama in The Essence of Spiritual Life comes to mind:

The most ancient traveler in the universe is love.  It is love that travels from the unknown to the known, from eternity to eternity.  Those who want to realize the greatest delight should realize themselves in others.  This is the definition of love.  Loving somebody does not mean hating others.  Remember this.  If you love somebody, that means loving all.  Your love should travel to expansion, not contraction.  May we light the fire of love that burns out the ego and enables us to pass from fearful fragmentation to fearless fullness in the changeless whole. Learn to love yourself.

Safe travels if you are traveling, and when you are in town, we look forward to you sharing your spirit and energy with us in this community yoga practice during July.  To review the July class schedule, please see the calendar section of this site.

July special events:

• Thursday, 7/4:  9 a.m. Mixed-level holiday class with Kim (all are welcome), followed by a casual potluck brunch.  We will provide hot tea and juice; please bring anything you would like to share.
• Friday, 7/19:  6:45 p.m. Talk/meditation led by Juanita (all are welcome, no charge).

Parking for Friday-night classes:  If you attend the Yin or Restorative classes on Friday nights, please note that Concerts in the Park will begin in Fountain Square at 5:30 p.m. on Fridays in July.  You may find it convenient to park either in the Mariah’s lot behind The Pots Place or in the lot on Main Street across from U.S. Bank and to allow a little more time to reach class because of the increased traffic downtown.

Updating email address:  If your email address is changing from “insightbb” to “twc” or another service and you would like to continue to receive our messages, please let us know your new address so that we may update our contacts list.

Studio access:  If you arrive at The Pots Place after a class has has begun, remember that you can still join us.  Just go to the back entrance (look for the blue building) and press the buzzer next to the door; the teacher can then unlock that door from the studio.
