January 2020
Happy New Year and Welcome to 2020!
It just feels better to say 2020. I want to thank my students who have brought friends and family along to try Kaiut, and so appreciate all who help to spread the word about this wonderful healing meditative method of yoga. It has been exciting to welcome new students each week for the last month of the year to this practice.
I organized a monthly NYC Kaiut Yoga Pop-Up Workshop series: January with Angela Varcasia from Yonkers;
February with Alessandra Grando & Bruno Prager studio owners from New Orleans/Brazil; and March brings Christina Siepiela founder of Dallas Kaiut Yoga. See the Classes page for more information and tell your NYC friends, or just come for the weekend for these intimate workshops (18 students max.). Kaiut Yoga creator Francisco Kaiut will teach two Living the Method Workshops in NYC April 24-26 and May 1-3, 2020. And for those who want to continue regular NYC classes get in touch and I'll share how
to contact teacher Chelli Devadutt.
It was really fun to have New Orleans student and
teacher Carla Nimrichter and her husband João attend
class while visiting NYC and join me and other students
for breakfast following class. She teaches at Sati Studio
when their owners travel.
Later in January I head to Boulder for continuing teacher education in immersions and another Living the Method workshop with teacher/creator Francisco Kaiut.
Check out upcoming trainings and workshops at www.kaiutyoga.com. Then I'll be heading to the
Kaiut Yoga Dallas School to to teach six classes
over two days before joining two Island students
in Folsom, CA for their second teacher training,
something I am redoing since it has changed from
when I first attended nearly two years ago.
I know it's hard to have class schedule disruption, but I too need to deepen my personal practice and learn what
else I can bring to my teaching.
Although I will not be teaching Kaiut Yoga classes
from January 19 - February 8, there will be three pay-what-you-wish classes with Billie Burke on Tuesdays January 21 & 28 plus Saturday January 25, all at 9am.
I look forward to seeing everyone back in class beginning Tuesday, February 11.
The Free Acupuncture PTSD Clinic offered by Acupuncture practitioners Hellie Neumann, Patricia Romjin, and Jodie Treloar began their year with a clinic on January 1st. Please let your friends and others know the free clinic is held Wednesdays from 3-6 pm at Peaked Hill Studio's Vineyard Haven location. See below for more info.
I hope everyone stayed healthy and enjoyed the holidays.
Hope to see you in class or at a sound event soon.
