Ashtanga Cancelled

Namaste and happy Monday! 

Unfortunately, after reassessing his commitments for the year, Matt has decided not to teach with YAY for the fall semester.  As a result, Monday's ashtanga class is cancelled indefinitely.  We apologize for the last minute change, and are working on finding a class to take the Monday evening spot.  If you have any suggestions, or if you are interested in joining our teaching team, please email Corinne at corinne.kentor@yale.edu.  

Thank you all for your understanding!  We hope to have all schedule difficulties worked out by the end of the week.  

See you on the mat!

Nemo Class Cancellation

Due to the university-wide cancellations, Emily C.'s regular vinyasa class Monday evening, Feb 11th, will not be held. 

We hope to see you back on the mat on Tuesday for Mia's Ashtanga class from 5-6.15pm and Katherine's candlelit flow 9-10.15pm!

Open House POSTPONED and Welcome Gina!

Snowgis! Hope you are all holding up well in this whiteout. Three orders of yogi business:

1. Unfortunately, we have to postpone the Open House weekend we were planning to hold tomorrow and Sunday due to the storm. Stay tuned for the new date.

2. I'd like to introduce you all to a new teacher who is joining our team this semester,Gina Moreno-Valle! She is a rockstar yogi (yep that's her below) and first year student at the Yale School of Art. I'm very excited for her to join the YAY team and hope you will help me in giving her a warm welcome!

Gina will now be teaching a Vinyasa Flow on Wednesdays from 6-7:15 pm, starting next week, Feb 13th. 

3. Updated time: Emily is pushing back her Monday Vinyasa Flow class to a new time: 5:45 - 7 pm on Mondays, starting next week. 

And lastly, some yogi-inspiration for those of you practicing at home tonight (even if its a five minute child's pose). To you I say rock on, Gina-style:

Spread the warmth, spread the word! 

See you on the mat next week,
