Three Yoga Classes in Howell this Summer!

We had such a wonderful experience with the two morning yoga classes I taught up in Howell last summer that I am going to do an encore this summer with an extra class added in! These classes will be held, once again, on a beautiful deck overlooking the woods in Marion Twp. Last year we had perfect weather, and two deer walked through the woods during our practice one day, enjoying our peaceful yoga energy, no doubt! So join us on one, two or all three of these days for a nice, long, stress-relieving Hatha yoga practice with some luxurious Yin yoga stretches thrown in. All classes will be held outdoors (weather permitting; if not, inside), so dress appropriately.

$15/class, or only $40 if you sign up in advance for all 3 classes. Space is limited, so to reserve your spot please email info@christydeburton.com ASAP.

Song of the Morning Fall Colors Yoga Retreat

Join us for our 8th annual retreat in the natural splendor of Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat Center in Vanderbilt, MI. An easy 3-1/2 hour drive from southeast Michigan, nestled among 800 forested acres of the pristine Pigeon River Wildlife Area, Song Of the Morning boasts one of the best northern woods settings for solitude and reflection. We spend the weekend deepening our yoga practice, using the beautiful fall colors of the northern Michigan woods as an energetic renewal to open our hearts, minds and spirits. We meditate, enjoy nature and share delicious vegetarian meals together. Massage services are also available. Come by yourself or bring a friend or spouse, and take part in this wonderful opportunity to relax, reflect and renew!

The Yoga Room's Book Club

Our book selection for October is "Stumbling Toward Enlightenment" by Geri Larkin.

A humorous and honest collection of Buddhist wisdom from a Western beginner's perspective. Instead of promising a straight and clear path to enlightenment, author and teacher Geri Larkin (formerly of the Ann Arbor Zen Buddhist Temple) shows us that even stumbling along that path can lead to self-discovery and awakening, especially if we prize the journey and not the destination. With candor, affection, and earthy wisdom, Larkin shares her experiences as a beginning and continuing Buddhist. This spirituality classic shows any seeker that it's possible to stumble, smile, and stay Zen through it all.


Location: The Yoga Room
Bring: A healthy vegetarian dish to pass for an hors d'oeuvres potluck
RSVP by Monday, October 18 to: info@christydeburton.com

Book selections for our upcoming 2010 meetings are: 'The Five Tibetans' (December).

Kundalini Yoga Workshop for the Heart Center with Billie Wahlen

Dive deep into your heart center. Find love and compassion for yourself and others as we open the 4th Chakra and unleash the power to heal. Using the Guru Ram Das mantra, we will activate our own inner healer and find devotion to love and serve others. Using our breath we will expand our lungs and cultivate prana (life force energy) into our heart center to refresh and renew. Billie will end this healing workshop with a beautiful gong meditation.

Space is limited. Pre-register ASAP to reserve your spot! Early Registration (payment received by November 5): $25. After November 5: $35. Email info@christydeburton.com or call 734.761.8409 to sign up.
