Oprah

Yoga for 12-step Recovery is featured in this month’s O (Oprah) Magazine. I hope you enjoy the article. Feel free to share it with anyone who has questions about this meeting/practice.

Our Thursday night practice is on the move again! Kate is seizing the moment and turning her extraordinary energy and passion for helping others heal to being a full-time yoga teacher. When a too-good-to-be-true opportunity at HYLO presented itself (which includes a Thursday night class), she said yes! So we are doing what yogis do—being flexible. :)

All the pieces have fallen into place: we will move the Thursday night practice to Mondays and shift to a bit earlier time slot: 7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m. THIS SHIFT STARTS JUNE 4. It will still be held at Longevity Fitness Charleston who has graciously offered this beautiful space for us. There is free parking under the building!

Now hopefully some of you who had a hard time making it on Thursdays (for example, if your home group was on Thursdays) can join us Mondays. (Sorry for those of you who have a home group on Mondays! As you know, this is not a replacement for a 12-step program; it is an adjunct tool, adding feeling good in your body with the work of removing our stinkin’ thinkin’ and making a conscious contact with the God of our understanding.

Not all shifts are bad! We held our last meeting at Reverb last night. We will move to Longevity Fitness Charleston next Thursday 2/1/18 and we are starting 15 minutes later: 7:15 p.m. instead of 7 p.m.

Longevity Fitness is a modern, 4-story building at the northwest corner of Doughty and Rutledge (163 Rutledge). There are a FEW parking spaces underneath the building (clearly marked Longevity Fitness). Unfortunately, the other tenants in the building are not keen on sharing their parking spaces, even after hours. Do not park in those spaces (boots are not fun and would certainly shift your wonderful meeting- and yoga-induced mood). Take the stairs or the elevator to the 4th/top floor.

Please spread the word about BOTH Charleston Yoga and 12-Step Recovery meetings! We will have flyers and posters at all of the meetings so you can take several to post in places where someone who might be struggling with their own or another’s addiction and may see this little beacon of hope.

Impermanence

 It is with a heavy heart that I share that Reverb Charleston is closing. (Click on the link for more details). We will hold class through January 2018.

I am thrilled that Longevity Fitness Charleston will host the Recovery Yoga class beginning February 1, 2018.

My public classes continue at the MUSC Wellness Center:
7 am Mondays
11 am Tuesdays
6 pm Wednesdays

A day pass is only $15 and gives you access to the entire facility, which has been ranked Charleston's #1 gym by Charleston City Paper for several years in a row!

Namaste,
Gail
