My fabulous trip to Colombia!

Well, I just got back from teaching a retreat in Colombia (South America) and had an incredible time. If I can be a little bold, I’d like everyone to know that Colombia is spelled ColOmbia. I have found it fascinating over the years how many people spell it ColUmbia. (That’s in Ohio). Anyways, being proud of my Colombian heritage, I felt like I needed people to know this. The retreat was incredible, and I feel very lucky to be able to have my teachers and volunteers help run the studio while I am away teaching or assisting Shiva Rea. The studio is still in the growth stages as many of you know and does not provide me with a substantial salary, so for me it is vital that I continue to advance my yoga teaching career abroad when I can. I feel very lucky to have reached the stage where people are inviting me, so it is with much gratitude that I am able to travel, as well as run the studio here in Crested Butte. I will be posting photos of the retreat on the Y4P Facebook page, so check it out if you are interested in coming to this exotic eco retreat in the Caribbean with the Sierra Nevada Mountains surrounding. I will be going there next in November!

With lots of help from Andi Tippie, the summer schedule is now done! It is a great schedule, with most of the favorite classes/teachers offered at the same time, some new teachers and classes you will love, as well as some early a.m. classes and evening classes to accommodate your summer schedules. Enjoy! I take much care to create this schedule to suit you, so if you have any questions or comments please let me know!

With Andrew Bettinger’s help, you have hopefully all received the newsletter. If not, just send me an email and I will add you to the list. The newsletter is a special way to get you notified of special events and promotions, so I hope you will take the time to read it…

Although summer is not official for a few weeks, those of us with kids are now on summer vacation! It’s another beautiful season for us, so I hope you all enjoy it, find time for yoga, come to some of our special events, and keep spreading the YOGA FOR THE PEACEFUL message so we can continue offering our programs to the community.

THANKS and OmLove,

Monica
