Summer is a great time for stretching out the long days and doing the things that make you feel good whether its vacation, stay-cation, "me" time, or getting together with loved ones. This July I was grateful to take a week off from managing the studio. While planning my vacation, I thought about a long-distance excursion, or a getaway to some faraway tropical place, or other great opportunities for rejuvenating the soul. But the more I looked into the details, the more I realized that everything I want is right here! We are so blessed to live in the Bay Area with something to do every day that supports your energy...in the Town, at the beach, the parks, and the forests. Maybe next time I'll book a flight. But this time I found peace at home in our own backyard spending quality time with the ones I love.
Stop in and stay cool at Anasa. We have a powerful rooftop air conditioning and heating system and it's ALWAYS comfortable in the studio.
And please pre-register for events at
AnasaOakland.com
to take advantage of EARLY BIRD PRICING and help us plan in advance for our amazing line-up of holistic offerings!
Blessings to All,
Jean Marie

Asana as Metaphor
with Brima Jah
Sunday, August 4
2:00 - 4:00pm
The aim of this workshop is to focus less on how the yoga practice looks on the outside to bring attention more on how it feels on the inside of our "home". All levels of experience are welcome as we draw from many yoga practices in a playful effort to free ourselves from the limitations of our mind through meditation, from the limitations of our breath through pranayama, and from the limitations of our body through asana practice.
