Greetings!
“May you Fall in love with October and all the beauty it brings, May your life be as colorful as the turning of the leaves, On each blessed autumn day” – Charmaine J. Forde

Fall is in full swing - in fact, one might think that it's almost winter considering we've already had a slight dropping of snow. It's a wonderful time of year as we say goodbye to summer and welcome harvest time. Have you decorated your homes with pumpkins yet? We truly love this time of year and the colors that are all around us.

Here's to an amazing month!
YOGA
Are you aware we offer Yoga on Fridays at noon? If you were not, you know now!

We invite you to join us as Sarah Smith leads us in our effort to not only gain some flexibility, but to also strengthen our muscles, and help protect the body from injury.

This is the perfect class for the experienced yogi, as well as those giving it a try for the first time. SIGN UP NOW - You're going to love how you feel!

True Grit Challenge
Are you in??
The True Grit Challenge started last Wednesday and already we've seen some amazing numbers of reps being completed. Not that this is a competition (except for maybe with yourself), but here's to being successful in your attempt to complete all 900 reps each week!

AND, we'll be celebrating the end of the challenge at Cafe Sintra! Manuel has very graciously offered his restaurant for a gathering on November 8th from 5 to 7pm. We hope you'll all join us as we present our CONGRATS to all of those who participated. It's going to be so much FUN!
New Folks and a Hint
With Dumbbell Sumo Squats part of our challenge, do you know if you are doing them correctly? Here's how they should be done...

  • Stand with your feet wide, toes pointing out, holding both dumbbells in front of the chest,
  • Bend your knees, lowering your hips deeply, so your thighs are parallel with the floor. Make sure you keep your weight back in your heels and your knees go in the same direction as your feet.
  • Rise back up, straightening the legs completely and squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement.
We've seen some new faces around the studio... Are you one of them? If so, WELCOME!

It's hard to believe we have already started the 4th quarter of 2019. It was a great and busy summer with lots of ups and downs. We've enjoyed all of the new faces at the Studio, and are grateful for those that have been with us for many years.

We are really enjoying the enthusiasm that is being expressed with our current Challenge. We have never had so many participants and we find this pretty exciting. It's going to be great to celebrate all of your WINS on the 8th of November.

Until then, we wish you a wonderful October.

Timothy & Denise
