Yoga and Meditation Classes

Dear Friends in Yoga,
As we move into the fall season, what better time to begin a process of self-renewal, self-reflection and self-discovery.  Shands yoga and meditation classes provide an excellent opportunity to support your health and lift your spirits.  For more information about any of these offerings, feel free to contact me. 

Also, please note that the Yoga of Awareness for Cancer Program, scheduled to begin next Tuesday, September 27th, still has openings if you or someone you know is interested in attending.

Warmest regards,
Tammy

Need Space for Kids Kicking Cancer Classes

We are looking for a space to have our out-patient Kids Kicking Cancer classes, which is a free program for kids in pain in the Gainesville area.  The program should get substantial media/PSA exposure, so we thought a local business might like to offer space after hours as an in-kind donation.

We are looking for a carpeted space of at least 500 sq ft, preferably with easy RTS access, once per week, around the 6-7 p.m. time.  Thus, most meeting spaces with easily moveable chairs/tables would work.

If anyone knows of some good options, please contact me.

Here are some links for more info on Kids Kicking Cancer.
