The Wind is Good Advertising!

The winds have really been strong and rather unyielding here in NoHo for the past couple days!

Last night, I went to the front of the studio to bring in the welcome mat from the front, only to find it missing. I was dismayed to think that someone came by and stole my little round mat from the front of the studio...but where could it have gone?

I looked down the road about 30 feet and found it lying in the street. The wind had picked the mat up and carried it down the way. How unusual!

In the same vein, I put the sandwich board out front yesterday morning - as I do each morning. About an hour into the day, I saw bright green rectangles fly in front of the office window. The schedules which usually hang alongside the sign were blowing down the street. I hope no one got a face filled of The Jade Apple. But hey, it's good advertising. Getting the word out, whatever it takes!

The wind is wonderful for our clean air here in the valley. And it is nice to have a little weather. I just hope all the little baby oranges that are starting to grow on my orange tree do not fall off from this harsh weather.

Until next time...

Keeping a Calm Yoga Mind with The Phone Company!

Yoga helps with so many things. Breathing, relaxation, remaining present and open. These handy tools can help when life's little frustrations come about.

The phone and DSL company here at The Jade Apple has given me offered me a fantastic challenge! From the hours spent holding on the phone & then explaining the issues over and over again, to time spent waiting for the technician - who ultimately never shows up and then reschedules; I have been given a chance to use the tools of yoga.

Sometimes they work better than others. :)

For today, rather than freaking out and getting upset because I can't get the internet to work in the studio, I am going to remember to breathe deep and to take a moment to relax.

And then I am going to head into the studio and put myself in a nice down dog until I feel calm.

Thank goodness we have so many classes on the schedule for today!

Taking care of myself with yoga hopefully means peace & happiness for AT&T!

Peace

The Jade Apple...Welcome to the family!

I love blogging. It brings people in to what's happening. It gives me an outlet to express myself when a yoga class is going on in the studio and I can't talk!

This blog is going to be for our local yoga community here at The Jade Apple...a yoga studio in NoHo.

I'll do my best to update it as often as possible. Please feel free to leave messages & add comments as much as you can!

And remember....you are awesome.

Now come on in to the studio and get some yoga!

Xx,

Jenn
