Have you tried every experience Yoga for Life has to offer?

During May and June, try everything and win with our Pick 6 promotion.  Each time you participate in a class with a different teacher (not a different class with the same teacher ... a different teacher), ask that teacher to initial your yellow Pick 6 card.  Once you have the initials of six teachers, drop your card at the desk and become eligible to win a 10-Class Pass. 

Rules/Conditions:
Use drop in classes or any kind of a pass (except PUMP) to participate.
Enter more than one card! 
Drawings on May 31  and June 30. 
Cards completed in May will remain eligible for June drawing as well!  

Here's the encouragement you needed to try everything at Yoga for Life!!

Centered Wellness is committed to supporting our community -- through both donation-based classes and contributions to non-profit organizations.  That's what Yoga Matters on 1st and 3rd Friday nights is all about.  Each 75-minute Yoga Matters class begins at 6:00 p.m. and is suitable for all experience levels. 

Here's the schedule for upcoming classes:

• April 20th - Augustine Project (Maureen)
• May 4th - Pranakriya Meditative Posture Workshop (No Yoga Matters)
• May 18th - My 1st Suit (Harry)

We're always looking for new non-profits with which to partner.  Please let us know if you know of a deserving organization that could use our support!  We'd like to help!  Click here for more details. 

If you've enjoyed eating the Dark Chocolate Clusters we've been serving at Centered Wellness, you'll really appreciate how simple they are to make.  You'll need the following ingredients:

• 1 lb. Dark Chocolate
• 1 c. Unsweetend Craisins (or less to taste)
• 1 c. Lightly Salted Cashew Pieces (or less to taste)

Melt the chocolate over low heat, stirring continuously.  Allow to cool slightly.  Stir in craisins and cashews.  Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheets and refrigerate for at least 90 minutes.  Release clusters by pressing diagonal corners of the cookie sheet.  Enjoy!!! 

Many students have also asked for the recipe for Yogi Tea. Maureen Scott has graciously agreed to share. Click here for the recipe.
