Dearest Sangha Yoga Family,

After 12 years serving downtown Kalamazoo as a drop-in yoga center, Sangha Yoga is being propelled toward its next evolution of service.

At the end of our seven year lease, Sangha Yoga studio will close in our Mall Plaza location. Our last day of public classes will be December 21, 2014.

In January 2015, sanghayoga.com will have a new look and function to serve Sangha Yoga Institute, School of Higher Learning. The school will offer yoga teacher certification courses and special events in the Kalamazoo area, as well as local and distance coaching sessions. (Stay tuned for location details.)

There are mixed emotions in letting go of Sangha Yoga in the form it has held for over a decade. The next two months are an opportunity for us to gather and celebrate the community we have built together within our studio walls.

Please Note the Following:

Remember, any remaining class packages will expire on December 21st. The drop in rate has been lowered to $15 per class.

As a parting gift to you, please join us for a free day of classes on the Winter Solstice, December 21st starting at 9am, followed by a Community Social at 3:30pm. See our Events Page for details.

Should you have any memories or messages about the impact Sangha Yoga has had on your life, we would love for you to share them on our Facebook Page. (Please note that you cannot directly reply to this email.)

What Next?

Many of your favorite Sangha Yoga teachers will continue teaching in the Kalamazoo area. Stay connected with them by viewing the updated Sangha Teachers Page. This page will remain up on the site through December 31st.

Our Director, Karina Mirsky will run quarterly programs in Kalamazoo through Sangha Yoga Institute, School of Higher Learning. She will also continue to work with private clients. Karina will spend extended periods of time teaching at the Himalayan Institute in PA, and at Prana Yoga Miami in FL, and will continue to host seminars and retreats abroad.

Keep up with Karina on the new sanghayoga.com in January, and as always on yogaInternational.com/karina.

Be on the look out for a VERY SPECIAL INVITATION from Karina tomorrow!

Always a Sangha...

Please know that we will always be a spiritual community, just no longer confined to a single location. It's simply time to spread out and take Sangha Yoga into the world in a broader way. Don't forget, a member of our sangha, Paul Clements is running for Congress, please vote on November 4th.

Again, thank you for practicing with us. We hope to spend as much time with you as possible over these next seven weeks.

With Deep Gratitude,
Your Friends at Sangha Yoga
