A Yoga Celebration Raises over $3,000 for Ropes Wall
Saturday, March 8, Noon—8pm

What a great day! Thirty students took part in the afternoon classes. We began with 3 generations having yoga fun in the Family Class. Next some challenges for the more experienced students taught us to stand on our own 2 hands and open our chests. Classes concluded with more chest opening in a relaxed way that calmed the nervous system and renewed us in the restorative class.

During the evening reception and open house over 50 people enjoyed conversation, delicious food, inspiring videos, and the swinging sounds of the Makeiak H.S. Jazz Quartet.

Lily Geil, our favorite 4-year old yogini, drew raffle tickets and Ann Geil was the winner of the $250 Portrait Package from Photo Essence. There were 19 other lucky winners in the raffle as well. The silent auction peaked the interest of many there and brought in about $1,100. Many thanks to our contributors for both. Linda Billingsley, Thursday evening Level II class, single-handedly sold 45 raffle tickets to win a free session of classes.

There is a small section of ropes wall on display at the studio for you to see. We are hoping to get the real thing up by the start of the Spring/Summer session. We need a few volunteers with some building expertise to help us for a day. If you have some experience and would like to help, let your teacher know.

Events like this prove over and over again what a wonderful community we have at THIY. Thanks again to all who helped. Keep watching for the wall!
