Mommy and Baby Bonanza

Special Invite to Revolution Yoga Mommies. I was contacted by the woman who is running this event trying to raise money for mommy breast cancer. I think it's a worthy cause and has so many wonderful offerings for you and your kids. Like the biggest baby shower you've ever been to. This event runs in the city each year with $100 admission fee but this event will be only $35 on Long Island and the money is going to a good cause. You will receive a goody bag from sponsors worth over $150 and there are so many raffle prizes the majority of people who sign up will receive one. There will also be a fair for the kids and booths from all your favorite baby products. Enjoy! Please contact Ruth Warner at ruth@nymomsworld.com or call her 5165242819 to sign up at the $35 rate. Tell them Amanda recommended the event. ENJOY! PEACE AND LOVE!

July Book Club Meeting/Potluck - Sun., 7/24 @ 5 PM

Each month, club members will read a book that speaks to many of the same concepts expressed and explored through the practice of yoga. They will then have the opportunity to discuss this book in a comfortable, supportive community of fellow readers/thinkers/appreciators of literature. All are invited to comment, pose questions, and voice their responses! July's book-of-the-month will be Poser: My Life In Twenty Three Yoga Poses by Claire Dederer! Copies are downloadable online, and available on half.com and amazon.com!

We request a) a $25 contribution or b) a vegan/vegetarian food item + a small ($5 or $10) donation for the hour-long book discussion. The discussion itself will take place from 5-6 PM, but we'll serve food afterwards! You're more than welcome to hang out, eat up, and enjoy some good company and conversation. :)

Mindfulness & Meditation Workshop -- Sun., 7/10 from 5-8PM

In Vanessa’s upcoming "Mindfulness & Meditation" workshop (7/10/11 from 5-8PM), we will explore some of the many tools & techniques to allow the "non-meditator" or "curious yogi(ni)" to quiet the mind and free the spirit. Through breath-work, mantra, chanting, and mindfulness, we will learn to experience ourselves in a whole new way... tapping into our inner most workings, and keeping the yoga practice continuous long after coming down from our savasana-buzz! COST: $40 ($35 if you sign up before 7/4!)

Flying Frogs' Yoga Festival Planning/Potluck -- Fri., 6/24 @ 8 PM

Come to help organize Long Island’s first yoga festival (Summer 2012)! Please bring a vegetarian dish/ food item; eat up and become a part of this exciting, community-building project!

KIDS YOGA - Every Tues. at 4:30 PM w/ NEW TEACHER, SAMANTHA TUCHFELD!

Samantha will take your children (ages 6-10) on “Yoga Adventures,” incorporating music, stories, coloring, and toys (i.e. stuffed animals, bubbles, etc.) into her class. Children will reap the many advantages of a yoga and meditation practice (physical exercise, mental clarity, increased empathy, focus, and relaxation) while they channel their abundant energy in ways that are fruitful and creative!  The class will last for 45 minutes. 

Belly Dance Workshop w/ Live Drummers! -- Sun., 6/26 @ 1PM

Women enjoy belly dance for its positive effects on their physical health, body image, and overall self-esteem.  Like yoga, belly dance helps to align the mind, body, and spirit, bringing women a sense of balance and joy. 

Yoga and belly dance teacher, Meredith “Kismet” Narissi will teach the workshop at Revolution Yoga!  Veils will be provided and students will enjoy the energy of live drummers.  No experience necessary -- all are welcome!

The workshop will last from 1 PM to 2:30 PM; participants will be charged $25 for the hour-and-a-half class. 

PRENATAL YOGA w/ Jenna DiPaolo -- Wednesdays, 7pm Starting 6/22

Prepare for labor and delivery and stay healthy during your pregnancy! Practice postures that strengthen and tone. Focus on pranayama (breath work) to remain centered throughout labor and delivery.  Learn practices to support the body, mind, and spirit during and beyond pregnancy! Prenatal yoga can be a wonderful way to connect with your baby as well as meet other expecting mothers in the community!

FAMILY YOGA w/ Jenna DiPaolo, Sundays @ 11am Starting 7/10

What a great way to spend time with your family! Adults aren't the only ones who can benefit from the calming effects of yoga. Yoga provides kids with a much-needed physical outlet in a noncompetitive environment. Our classes are more than just learning a few poses; they will encourage kids to explore the unfamiliar with open minds & be comfortable in their bodies.  Likewise, they will teach kids methods to combat stress in school or social situations!
