Thanksgiving Practice Sequence

Hi All,

A reminder  from Mary.  the "Turkey Trot" run is the morning (begins at 9:30) of group practice - parts of 1st St. and Cesar Chavez will be closed.  It starts and ends at the Long Center, so traffic around there might be heavy."

Allow a little extra time if you are coming from the north, but  Don't worry about arriving a little late if you get caught in the Turkey Trot Traffic. 



Here's the  plan for  2013  thanksgiving practice.  I'm going to practice it now, so it might change a bit....

George is coming to town

Hi Guys,

George is coming to Austin next weekend.  He's at Practice yoga.

here's the sign up  link

https://squareup.com/market/practice-yoga-austin

There's now an Iyengar Yoga in Houston blog

I really think this is the wave of the future.  Local  communities need to start their  Iyengar  Yoga in X  blog  so that  people  can really see how much Iyengar  yoga there is and how to find it.

So  spread the word.
