What's New at the Studio

Our teaching roster is changing. Lisa Shafer will no longer teach on Tuesday night so she can focus on new projects that are being taken on by Mind Body Solutions. In addition, Betsy Ricker will no longer teach Thursday morning and T. Porter will no longer teach Sunday morning. Betsy will continue to work with Mind Body Solutions in our efforts at the Courage Center. T. has a new job traveling within the airline industry, but will continue to be in the Mind Body Solutions mix. We are profoundly grateful to all of them.

We are happy to announce that Shari Danielson will be teaching the 9:30 intermediate class and Becky Kern will be teaching the 11:30 beginning class on Thursday morning. The Sunday class will move to 9:30 and will be taught by Andy Lear as a beginning class.

What's New for the Business Programs

Mind Body Solutions is continuing to carry out its mission to make yoga more accessible to people living with disabilities. This May, Matthew Sanford will be a keynote speaker and teach classes both at the Yoga Journal Conference and at the Midwest Yoga Conference. At both venues, he will be teaming up with Jo Zukovich to teach an intensive on adapting yoga for people living with disabilities.

We began work with the Courage Center to build a new model for holistic rehabilitation. This will be a collaborative effort with some of our teachers and students taking part.

Finally, Matthew Sanford's book Waking: A Memoir Of Trauma And Transcendence is a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in the memoir category. Winners will be announced on May 5th.
