Anne at ASY Saturdays at Noon

Hi Everyone,

I just taught my last classes at YogaYoga. Starting the first saturday in June, I will be teaching a mixed level Iyengar Yoga class at noon at Austin School of Yoga. I'll still be running the Friday practices at Clear Spring at 3:30. I've learned a lot about teaching by teaching in the eclectic yoga environment of YogaYoga, but I have to say I'm quite excited about teaching in Iyengarland.

See everyone there in June.

There is Good Friday Practice CSS Friday 3:30
