Whew! A good 99% of my classes are finally covered for the Olympics! Yay!

It is one month today until the opening ceremonies for the Olympics, and whether we love everything about the Olympics or are filled with dread ...here they come!

We will soon be welcoming the world!!

Lot's of Yoga in Yaletown at Lilli'Q Cafe and Playhouse located at 1268 Pacific blvd (right next door to the Roundhouse) and classes are going full blast as well at Main St @ Broadway at the brand spankin'new Mt.Pleasant! (The Mt.Pleasant website states that there is a 3 person waiting list currently for Prenatal yoga but that is no longer the case.) I have upped the participant level by 5 so...there are a few more spaces now!

Lilli'Q will be updating their website anytime now, and I have added a Thursday evening Prenatal Yoga in addition to the Tuesday class. (we only have space for 10 participants for all classes being held there so you may want to register for those asap!)

Oh..and there WILL be Baby & Me Yoga as well at Lilli'Q! Yay!

All classes will be held at the same time as my Roundhouse classes.

(Prenatal Yoga's 545pm-715pm)

(Hatha 730pm-845pm)

(Baby & Me 130pm-300pm)

Soooo Register, Register, Register! You know I'd love to see you.

You can register online or by phone at http://lilliq.com/ (under the events tab) or 604-681-2965

Drop-in's are available for all classes (space permitting.)

*Remember to bring a Yoga mat to the Lilli'Q classes!

Here are a couple of shots of the New Mt.Pleasant!

The place is huge. This is only a tiny glimpse. The dance studio, the front lobby and a peek into the gymnasium. (you can see a bit of the Fitness centre and climbing wall in the background) The place is just amazing.

Lot's of new stuff going on!

Howdy!

Happy New Year! It's officially 7 days into 2010!

There are so many new things going on I'm not even sure if I can remember them all right now (it's late and I'm sleepy!).

First off, for some reason none of my classes are showing up on the Roundhouse website but they are all a go. All of them. Tuesday & Thursday Prenatal Yoga, Thursday Baby & Me, & Tuesday and Thursday evening Mixed levels classes so...come on down (at least for the next couple of weeks until the Olympic closure)!

And after January 21 most of these classes will be continuing next door at Lilli'Q Cafe and Playhouse for the following 6 weeks while the Roundhouse is closed (see schedule on the top right corner of this page for details, links for registration etc.).

*And please remember that mats will not be provided at Lilli'Q so you will have to bring your own. Let's do it up! (I do have a few extras that I will bring along as spares should anyone want to double up).

Oh as well, due to popular demand I was able to secure a space for our Baby & Me Yoga at Lilli'Q as well! Yay! (usual time and day).

As for Mt.Pleasant news...the place is stunning! Had a couple of classes there last week and Wow. Just wow. What a facility!

And although the website says the class is full the room is quite large and we can very comfortably squeeze in a few more of you so...(to be on the safe side if you aren't registered give them a ring first at 604-713-1888) but I will be getting the numbers changed on the website as soon as I can to accomodate a few more of you, so not to worry!

You can always contact me to double check as well. Anytime. yoginilori@gmail.com.

That is all I can think of for now!

Hope you have enjoyed the first week of 2010.

I'll update more as I think of things :)

Bye for now!

Wooo-woooo-weeeee!! The countdown is on....

It's the end of one fabulous decade and the beginning of a new one. I sure hope you are all enjoying your holidays and that this new year brings you much peace, love, joy and vibrant health and vitality!

My holidays have been wonderful, but I have to admit that I can't get back to my classes soon enough. Thankfully they are all starting up again next week. Starting Monday in fact!

So....take a look at my schedule and if you haven't registered, it's time! It's a brand spankin' new year. Let's feel our absolute best and enjoy it to the fullest.

Really looking forward to seeing you and getting back at it.

Let's do it up! :):)

New Hatha class Thursday nights at the Roundhouse!

Free Pregnancy massage at Utopia Academy again! Yippie!

Hi there beautiful ones!!

(expectant momma's 2nd trimester and up in particular, for this post!)

I just now realized that with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, and schedule changes and what not I have neglected to mention in my classes that the oh-so-lovely Annette Ruitenbeek (Associate Dean of Education of Utopia Academy) has contacted me to let me know that the time for free pregnancy massage is fast approaching once again...and this time and they have space for 20 women! Yippie!

The date is Thursday January 14th 2010. (boy, that feels strange typing 2010....)

And they have two shifts: 1:00pm & again at 3:00pm!

If you have been coming to my Prenatal Yoga classes you are no doubt aware of how quickly these spots get snatched up once I put the word out!

So....get on it!

You deserve it, and it's free!

Utopia Academy trains students to qualify for the College of Massage Therapists of B.C.’s registration exams. They are studying to be RMT's.

The school is located at 220-181 Keefer Place. *To set up an appointment you must email Annette at: annette.ruitenbeek@utopiaacademy.com
