Tucson Yoga Update
January 2012
|
Beloved Friends,
Tucson Yoga has been sowing the seeds for an incredible 2012! We're very proud of our wonderful teaching staff, who are offering morning classes every weekday at 7am and 9am in addition to our evening and weekend classes. Yoga class attendance always goes way up after the new year - this is a time when we're motivated to improve our lives and follow our dreams. If you've fallen away from your practice recently, now is the time to make a renewed commitment!
This weekend we're excited to launch Frank Jude's 40-hour Mindfulness Yoga Training - an opportunity for deep study with this world-renowned teacher and author. The early registration date has been extended until tomorrow, January 3. We're also offering our first-ever Prenatal Yoga series, for 3 weeks starting January 14th, with Alysa Volpe. Our annual New Year's Intro to Yoga series for new students begins on January 15th, and on January 28th Sally Weber will offer a deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra session. At the end of this message you'll find a beautful set of playful new photos of our teaching crew by Jade Beall. Wishing you inspiration for living with love, joy and authenticity in 2012!
Blessings from your friends at Tucson Yoga |

Yoga Nidra is an ancient technique of deep relaxation, which reduces stress and allows the body to heal. Yoga Nidra means yogic sleep, however it's not for sleeping - it’s to awaken.

Cinema Nirvana 2011 Wrap-Up
Posted by Poep Sa Frank Jude on December 19, 2011
December marks the conclusion of the second year of Cinema Nirvana. Looking back at this last year, we’ve continued the “tradition” of screening an unusually diverse group of films from the sublime Wings of Desire to the slightly absurd Independence Day; from the frothy Elvis “classic,”Jailhouse Rock to the creepy and dark After.Life.

Cinema Nirvana Presents: "A Fistful of Dollars"
Posted by Poep Sa Frank Jude on December 30, 2011 (Film on January 21)
Okay, I’m going to go out on a limb here and state unequivocally, that Fistful of Dollars (along with its “sequel” For A Few Dollars More) are among my all-time favorite films! AND, even if you think you don’t like ‘westerns,’ or (gasp) Clint Eastwood (who, again, I will gladly cop to thinking is one of America’s great filmic and cultural geniuses), I am going to go further out on that limb and say that I think I can impress you with the overwhelming cultural, social, moral, and dharmic significance of this revolutionary, simultaneously iconoclastic and iconic film.
