Lionflow yoga studio is closed for a snow day today , Friday the 22nd . Go ahead & snuggle back up with your pillow , or clean your whole house … whatever you like to do with your down time , but be safe on the roads , and we’ll be open for business tomorrow , unless otherwise is posted on the website . Have a great day & be safe !

The Grand Opening Party for the new Lionflow Yoga Studio is today , Satuday 12/12/15 , from 1230 to 2pm . There will be snacks , drinks , and you can bring something if you like. This Party is potluck style . Children are welcome, and everyone else is too 😉

Have a great weekend!

Here is Rumi with a farewell namaste’ to the old studio . The journey continues, and it’s been quite an adventure already. 

The new studio is not completely finished, but we will still open for class this morning. The signs are not up yet , and won’t arrive in the mail until tomorrow , so go by the address for now , and park on Jay Street, or behind the house on the parking pad . Please do not use any of the neighbors parking . 

Today & tomorrow we will be practicing in the front room studio , while the back room is completed . Saturday we will have a Grand opening party after the 12pm class . We’ll have desserts & drinks . Just type in 1931 E. Spring St. Into your gps , and ther shouldn’t be a problem finding the studio . Have a
great week & we look forward to seeing you in class !

The Lionflow Yoga Studio will be moving . Sunday is the last day at the current studio space . We have enjoyed the studio immensely. I love the windows , the location , and how much my son enjoys playing there during class , but the business side of signing a new lease compared to a lease to own contract has made the decision for me .

I am so thankful for the students , trainees, and fellow teachers that have enriched the experience of teaching at this studio . I am grateful to all who shared there yoga journey with this studio . Now a new chapter begins .

The studio will be moving about a half mile down the road to 1931 E. Spring St. , New Albany In . It is a straight drive leaving the current studio heading toward New Albany .

There isn’t parking on Spring Street , but there is ample parking in the alley behind the house , and even more on Jay Street . To park turn on Jay or Thomas Street . Park on these streets , or turn on the alley & look for the Lionflow sign by the carport . There will also be a sign in the front yard . We will be practicing in a historic home currently used for business offices . Here is a better look .

So we will have regular scheduled classes through Sunday , and then we will close for 3 days , Monday – Wednesday , and will open for business at the new studio Thursday December 3rd . The current schedule will remain after the studio transition. 

Lastly , lets have a party ! This Saturday after class at 1230 pm we will have a party to enjoy this studio together one last time . There will be drinks , and we can also make it a Thanksgiving leftover potluck .

Thank you for your part in supporting Lionflow Yoga Studio . Sincerely,

Glenn Brown

The Introductory package has been 3 classes for $20 for some time . We are scrubbing the old package & are now offering two weeks for $20 . This will be the new Introductory package ( meaning it’s only available for first time students ) , but to give this new package a proper welcome it will be available for all students until the 8th of August . So take advantage while you can .

You can also buy 3 Introductory packages as gift certificates for $50 to help spread the yoga love .

Yoga Students –
We will be excepting five students into a Work Study Program . What is the work study program ? It will be $45 unlimited month package for those enrolled . The requirements will be to take a minimum of 3 classes a week , write their own monthly progress reports , and complete one studio chore a month ( cleaning windows , mopping floors , handing out flyers ).

To apply for the Work Study Program email Glenn Brown at lionflow@gmail.com , and include one paragraph of what you’d like to benefit from practicing yoga . Everyone is welcome to apply , but my hope is to help college students , single parents, and low income families have an opportunity to have a more consistent practice , and to experience more benefits from having a more consistent practice.

If the minimum requirements are not met , and there isn’t communication of intent , you will lose your spot in the study for at least 6 months , or until another spot opens up .

I hope to see people taking advantage of this , and if so it will be done in 6 month groupings . If you have more questions , email the address above .

Happy International Yoga Day / Fathers Day / Summer Solstice!

In honor of all of the above the 1pm & 2pm classes will be free today , next Sunday the 28th all classes will be free ( 845am Flow 3 , 1pm Intro , 2pm Gentle Basics ).

Also if we could get some yoga pictures today to honor the International Yoga Day , I will make a collage to hang at the studio. So go wild ! Interesting poses in interesting locations!  Just send your photos to lionflow@gmail.com to be included . All will be included , this is not a contest . Express you , and together let’s express how yoga is for everyone ! The fun , the challenges , the trails & triumphs! The circle has no corners , and all aspects of the journey have their place & purpose . I’ll give one week for submission, and will then post the collage .

Have a great weekend !

The Classic 84 class is for donation only , and a disciplined yoga practice is recommended . You don’t have to be a contortionist , but you do need to know how to practice safely . A minimum of a year of experience practicing yoga is required .

The Classic 84 class is an interpretation of the root yoga series from which all yoga series derived . Passed from teacher to student for many generations . Interpreted & reinterpreted . Adjustsments are made for different needs of the different generations , though the core remains . This challenging class opens up the body to learn any posture ,  even those not in the class , and also prepares the body & mind for more effective seated meditation . One of the original intentions of practicing yoga postures was to prepare the body for seated meditation . Asana , commonly translated to ” pose or posture ” , actually at its root means ” to sit ” . This is a great class for yoga teachers , dancers , martial artist , and serious athletes of all types including disciplined yoga practitioners .

Note from Glenn

” Recently the studio I have been teaching this Classic 84 class at for the past decade was asked by the owner of the franchise to not teach what was known as the “advanced class” at the Bikram studios anymore , and to focus on teaching the beginner Bikram class at the Bikram studios . This newsletter was sent to all Bikram studios . I am willing to comply , and it is easy enough just to teach the beginner Bikram classes at Bikram studios . That has always been the focus at Bikram studios , and the advanced class has served as a way to help students who want to progress their practice with more postures , and a great way to train people for the yoga championship which is based on the poses from the Classic 84 class . So in compliance I will not teach this class at the Bikram studio , and will teach it instead at the Lionflow Studio , and wherever else people would like to practice it . I have been practicing this class for 12 years , and teaching it for 10 . It is part of my heart , part of my practice , and I will continue to share it . I do not claim to own this class , and in fact nobody does . Yet still it makes its way through time . I am excited to offer this class at the Lionflow studio , and to continuing to train competitors for the yoga championship . It is what I feel compelled to do , and so I will . With both respect to my teachers , and to students safety & progress .”

Hello All ,

Most often while taking class it can be hard to see , and celebrate the accomplishments of our fellow students as we focus on our own practice . So I will post inspirational photo’s for  every season exposing the beautiful , progressive yoga dance of our fellow yoga practitioners . Thank you to the students this month who allowed me to take , and share their photo’s !
