Wishing everyone a happy and safe July 4th weekend! A reminder that Integral Yoga is closed on Monday, July 4th. Also, I will be on a working and pleasure vacation that holiday week teaching teen ballet classes at the Olga Dunn Ballet School in the Berkshires.
When I return to NYC, some great news: Core Strength Yoga at UWS Yoga & Wellness will reconvene – we will now be on a new day of the week, but same lunch time spot! Starting Tuesday, July 12th at noon, my fusion class of yoga and pilates returns! Thanks to all of you who had communicated your wishes to UWS Yoga, and a special thanks to Ingrid and Stephan for being so flexible (yoga pun intended) and accommodating! I am very grateful and appreciative!
Many of you already know about my interest in urban greening; when I am not taking or teaching movement classes, I am working on my volunteer community initiatives. Here is a recent OpEd I wrote on the benefits of urban trees, why NYC needs citizen tree stewards, and the importance of well-permeable soil in tree beds for stormwater absorption and reduction of sewage overflows into our waterways. I welcome your thoughts and feedback!
