I have been thinking about opening my own yoga studio for a while now. A couple of weeks ago, the universe opened the door on that dream, and I've found myself walking through it, and preparing for a new adventure.
Yoga has been a God send for me... when I was struggling with my weight and pretty intense depression, the practice of yoga lightened my body and my spirit. I learned to care for myself: physically, mentally and spiritually. The intense change that yoga brought to my life led me to teach, and that desire to share yoga with other people grew and grew.
So I set an intention to open a studio that would serve all segments of the Beaufort Community, including and especially special populations. I tried to set up community yoga programs with the city, but those good intentions never came to fruition. Now, through the inception of Dancing Dogs Yoga, I will finally have the opportunity. I want to offer yoga to everyone who wants to explore it, regardless of their ability to touch their toes, or their ability to pay. I want other people to know the joy and expression that can come from finally realizing a pose that has been eluding you, from freeing the stress from the body, from learning to breathe all the way down to your toes. I want to share the physical and emotional growth that yoga can nurture. I want to share yoga with Beaufort County. I want to be more generous.
I am so happy to announce that we will kick off the Grand Opening of Dancing Dogs Yoga with a fundraiser, Hatha for Haiti: Help, Hope and Healing for the People of Haiti, on Saturday, February 27, 2010 from 8am-11am, in the park in front of Dancing Dogs Yoga at 1600 Burnside St Ste 106, Beaufort, SC 29902. For more information, please visit Hatha for Haiti or Dancing Dogs Yoga call Shelley at 843-263-4864 or email shelley@dancingdogsyoga.com
Blessings,
Shelley Lowther
