Opening on Saturday!

Much to my amazement, it seems that all major hurdles have been defeated, and Chaturanga Holistic Fitness WILL open its doors, in our beautiful new space, on Saturday! THANK YOU to all who have made this happen by lending your time, talents, capital, and encouragement... and by coming to classes despite the temporary mess and blinding fluorescent lights! Your support reminds me of the power and goodness of this community we have formed over these weeks and years of taking classes together. What a blessing that we will continue to practice together!

I have more good news! The group fitness schedule is finally ready! It has been tweaked, and re-tweaked (THANK YOU, CYNTHIA!) and now you can see it at www.chaturangafitness.com. The pricing schedule will be up shortly... still ironing out a few wrinkles there. But know that the rates will be similar or the same as what you're used to, with a few added perks!

Some highlights and GREAT DEALS you'll want to tell your friends about:

We want you to explore ALL the great programming that Chaturanga has to offer... So from now on, your first group fitness class with any teacher you've never tried before is Half-Price!

• The Chaturanga team boasts 10 different Yoga instructors, all with a unique background and approach to this practice. Try them all! If you've decided you can't do Yoga, Pat Schulman would love the chance to change your mind on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. For those looking to understand the finer points of sun salutation, I'm told that Aya's Surya Namaskar classes are not to be missed! There are soooo many great new yoga offerings and I'll be asking each of our teachers to post more information about their classes on this blog, so check back in over the next few days!
  

• For those who don't know, I am a NUT for Brazilian music and culture, which is why we have several different Brazilian-themed classes for you to try out! You don't have to be musically inclined to take Marcos' Brazilian Percussion class on Sunday... and if you start now, you'll have plenty of time to prepare for Carnaval in Rio in February! Dil Costa's 8-week Brazilian Dance class begins on October 31st... you won't want to miss it! And Josh Granger is back on Wednesday nights and Saturday afternoons with Capoeira, the Brazilian martial art that is super fun and an intense workout!
  

• SUCH a better way to burn calories than a treadmill.... Zumba will make you sweat, laugh, and shed your inhibitions in a few heartbeats! Pierre and I will give you several chances a week to get your samba, salsa, reggae, and bollywood grooves on!

• For Ladies Only... Diva Dance Class will be just $5 on Sunday 10/3 at 5pm, and Friday 10/8 at 7pm. Contact Kania for more information: admin@divadancelessons.com
  

Thanks for keeping posted. More to come soon!
