White Rock Local Market

It never fails every time that Laura and I sign up for one of these marketing functions we always end up wet and this time very very cold! We were out this Saturday morning in the cold misty rain near the Green Spot for the White Rock Local Market. Even with the miserable weather we still had lots of fun. We were able to meet many new potential students and let them know what our studio has to offer. Hope to see some of you new students in the New Year!!

LWIB Social @ Dragon Fire Yoga

We had a very successful Lakewood Women in Business Social held at the studio last Thursday night. There were over 70 women that attended!!! We ate food from Sali's and Cheesecake Royal, were entertained by Tribal Evolution Belly Dance (who will be teaching the next series starting on October 17th), drank lots of wine and chatted among new and old friends. The night was perfect and we were told numerous times that this was the "best LWIB Social yet"!!

Thank you to everyone that helped in supporting us in this event!

White Rock Lake Festival

Dragon Fire had a booth out at the festival this weekend, but unfortunately the rain got in the way of things. We were able to perform one of the two days, but after the rain on Saturday we packed things up and headed out. We left a few things behind to get on Sunday. Not sure that was such a good idea, we had to walk though knee deep water to get the stuff out. Our lake front property was not so pretty after all, but the thought was nice!

OM Moment

We were up at the studio one afternoon this week with the kids and as usual they each grabbed a yoga mat and carefully placed them on the floor. They were busy playing with poses while we were getting ready for some big changes in the studio, but after a while they got a little bored with each other and wanted us to sit with them. They asked us to start chanting OM. It was the most beautiful thing, the four of us sitting on the ground chanting our OM's. Yes, even our 2 year old and 3 year old were chanting with us. I just love how they get to experience all of these things that took me 20 something years to find.

Toddler Yoga Series October 2008

New Series to come on Saturdays in January 2009.

Yoga Stimulus Package

Here we go! January 1st we are offering a Yoga Stimulus Package. Our monthly price will be $75 for 2 classes per week AND you can lock this price in for three months (if paid before January 15th). Yoga can help us process the economic state that our country is in and we feel in everyday life. Everyone is feeling the effects of our current situation, and we understand that at this time it is hard for you. Let Dragon Fire Yoga be your outlet in your current place. Know that at the end of each day you can come to your mat and for in that moment in time, all can be forgotten. The movement of the body creates such an intuitive release. Some we consciously let go of and the other is just a natural release. Can you let yoga be your way of life?

Join our community and create a new beginning filled with peace and tranquility.

Happy Turkey Day!

Lakewood Women In Business at Niru Boutique

Tonight after a long day at work we hopped into the car and headed to our first LWIB. It was at Niru Butique on Greenville Avenue. We walked into the store and went straight from business mode to wanting to shop!! They had great dresses! Our eyes shot from one dress to another, when we realized we were there to do business. Thank goodness for business partners and friends to keep each other on track. What a great group of women. We had the opportunity to visit with several other women in business and learn about what our neighborhood and friends have to offer. Thank you LWIB for providing this opportunity.

Little Forest Hills Internet Cafe Yoga

Am I dreaming? The sun hits my face as I look upward into the sky. So many times I have looked upward to start the first sun salutation of my practice. Today there is no ceiling. Let me actually find the meaning of the "sun salutation", a greeting to the friend that is always there. Our surroundings are slightly bustling with the sound of our neighbors doing their weekend chores, however it has little effect on our tranquility. In fact it adds an element found no where else. We are practicing yoga in Dallas' funkiest neighborhood, Little Forest Hills. Our host is Another Byte Internet Cafe, a brilliant and much needed restaurant concept needed to bring friends and neighbors together. Join us the second Saturday of the month at 9:00 AM.

Included in the cost of the challenge is a nutritional workshop to help you make healthy choices for the season on Tuesday November 18th at 7:30pm given by Laura Abbott and a new Fire Class (date to be announced) filled with a combination of strength building and flexibility. The cost is $99 for the challenge........Good Luck!

Svanasana.....

Todays class ended in svanasana just like almost every other class, however, there was an air of ease. A feeling of being completely open and honest with myself. Teaching class is like a life lesson every time I step into those shoes. It provides me an opportunity to explore my practice from a different angle. Am I supposed to come out of personal self to teach, or should i teach a practice from the place that i am in? It is always a question of mine. I end up doing both. Today it was from my personal chaotic experiences. It helps me to understand them better. I hope that my students can be in their space and gain what they need from it as well.
