One Week Until the BIG MOVE!

Yep, that's right. There is only one more week until we are officially in our new LARGE studio space at 127 South Street, Oyster Bay! I am so excited and I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way it has turned out. We had an amazing team of workers who literally transformed the place in 8 days! It was so exciting to see the transformation. I will take some pictures and post them for all to see as soon as possible since we are still in the midst of moving and changing things. Be sure to stay posted as we work hard to give you a WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE in Oyster Bay! Oyster Bay and Yoga are really going to rock and inspire us all now for sure! We're ready....are you? :) Stay tuned!

Second Yoga Rocks Kids Teacher Training is a Success!

This past weekend was my 2nd Yoga Rocks Kids Teacher Training weekend. It was very exciting for me to be able to offer this unique and educational experience and share the gift of teaching yoga to kids with others.

We had fun learning the poses, playing games, singing songs, and creating min-lessons. We learned how and why teaching yoga to kids is different from teaching yoga to adults. All students truly enjoyed themselves. In fact, here's what they had to say:

"I enjoyed the relaxed learning environment and how we were actively participating in the poses, dances, songs, and teaching. I would recommend other educators and those who practice and love yoga to take this training! Thank you so much!" Alie Klein, Guidance Counselor


"Yoga Rocks Kids really works and is fun! I learned a lot about instructing yoga and expanded my knowledge on the mannerisms of kids. In addition, I also developed a sense of motivation to be more productive in my own life! I really loved this training!" Mary Alice Miller, student

"This was a wonderful experience. I loved the time we spent together mostly because it was a true bonding experience to focus and think only about yoga and what it is truly about....and to take a deep look into yourself. It is a great gift to give to yourself, even if you are not going to make a career out of it." D.I., Domestic Engineer and Teacher Assistant

Thank you everyone! it was a great experience for me too! The next Level I training will be October 19, 20, and 21! Register now as there are only a few spaces left!

Private Grand Opening, July 30th!

The first day of classes at the new studio, 127 South Street, will be on Monday, July 30th! We are delighted to offer you a larger, more open space to practice. Renovations are underway and we are busy getting the new space up and running. Thank you for all of your support and help as we transition to this long-awaited location!

This will be the Private Grand Opening for our current students. We are planning a larger, more publicized grand opening in September.

Stay tuned for updates and announcements!

I truly hope you are enjoying your summer classes!!!

Summer News

Summer Yoga is underway with our new classes, new class times for the evening classes and preparing to move this month to our new location, 127 South Street, Oyster Bay. Our Monday night class was so packed that we had to move it to the park...which turned out to be quite lovely, I might add, well...except for the bugs that is! Thanks to Tricia we all received a little Skin-So-Soft and got a little relief. I didn't really think I got bit up..until today. So let's ponder this whole park idea...is it worth it? Post a comment here or just tell me next week!

All in all, this session will be great and I am so excited to share all of the upcoming new ideas we have planned for the new space. Stay tuned!

And Happy 4th to all!

Lauren returns and it is full speed ahead!

So Lauren has returned form her travels spreading Yoga Rocks and working with the Oyster Bay Rotary. We are all so delighted to have her back. Our staff did an amazing job of covering for her while she was away and I want to announce to the world my thanks and gratitude for all of their hard work!

Now it is full speed ahead for us here in OB! We are making plans for our big move to 127 South Street (former Marie's Toy Store) somewhere in the middle of July, so definitely by August 1st, and ready to expand in a big way. We can accommodate more students in the big, bright space right in the heart of town!

This summer, yoga is definitely going to rock! We have a great summer program planned with Beach Yoga, which has already begun on Saturdays at 8:00 AM, Kids Yoga Camp, Private Sessions, Rock Your Asana, more convenient times, our new Jivamukti teacher, Dara, and Open Practice Sessions where you can some and practice on your own for only $5! You've got to check us out! And we are growing not only in OB but beyond as we continue to spread our kids and corporate programs. We are in negotiation with Whole Foods to begin our Corporate Yoga Program with their staff over the summer. And we are spreading the Yoga Rocks Kids Program by training people all over LI to bring yoga into their own communities, schools, and homes.

Be sure to sign up for summer when we begin our Priority Registration on June 18th!
Peace,
Jeannine

New Website Design!

Well...after countless hours researching, writing, and working with our amazing web designer, Rick, I am happy to say that our brand new website design is finally up and running! I am so pleased with the outcome and little by little it is going to be even better! Our shopping cart is almost set up so very soon you will be able to purchase retail products online. We will pack them up and ship them right to your home! (P.S....my new Yoga Books for Kids will soon be available as e-books that you can download too! I am so excited!)

In addition to our new website, we now have a new computer system called DharmaTribe with an online class schedule. In this system, you can pay for classes online with a credit card and even see all of your class information such as how many classes you have left! Check it out and in time, I know you will like it. Simply go to our website and click on "class schedule."



Finally, I want to thank all of you for your encouragement and support while I work to grow and expand Yoga Rocks. I have been working on the kids program and diligently training people to teach yoga to kids in schools, pre-schools, daycare centers (since yoga is truly essential for kids nowadays!) as well as been busy hiring new wonderful teachers and staff members to make your experience here the best it can be. We have so many fun options for Summer...starting with Beach Yoga this June and a cool "Rock your Asana" class with Nicki. Furthermore, we will be moving in July which is just around the corner!

So thank you for being a part of the Yoga Rocks community and choosing to enrich your life by making it more productive, positive, and peaceful a little bit more each day.

Yours, Jeannine
