JUNE 2018 NEWSLETTER
Soulful Sunday May 27th 2018
What if we could see more of what connects us and less of what divides us? More of the ways we are alike than the ways we are different? What if we could be brave enough to let our spirits free-our souls that know the truth that we are one?
There are as many ways to enlightenment as there are people. There are countless yogis who have never stepped into a yoga studio or onto a yoga mat. Any time for a moment we step beyond the distractions and illusions to truly be in our spirit, to be moved by something greater than we can even express, we are yogis, we are living in the fullness of this gift that is our lives.
Anything that inspires us, ignites us, enlivens us, brings us joy and peace, and yes, love, that is yoga! Expanding our consciousness, and uplifting humanity, that is yoga...

ONE YOGA
Dearest One Yogis,
One Yoga celebrates its 6th anniversary this month. The official opening of the studio was December 26th 2011. In the six years since opening, the studio has grown twice, moving into a larger unit in March of 2012 and then expanding into a neighboring unit in 2015. We now occupy over 3000 square feet, with two yoga studios, a private room dedicated to Acupuncture and Massage, a second private room dedicated to life coaching and mental health counseling, a private personal training studio, a large lounge and retail area and four restrooms.
This past year the studio navigated yet another shift as one of the owners chose to move on, leaving Gina Keefe to continue the stewardship of One Yoga on her own. The studio has since evolved, grown and taken on new dimensions and life, becoming a true haven for health and healing. With a dedicated teaching staff, and a team of skilled specialists offering their individual healing modalities, students can depend on One Yoga to be one center for complete wellbeing.
In the upcoming month the studio will be lively with classes, as well as workshops and events including a Funky Flow and Glow in the Dark Yoga Friday December 1st, A Holiday Chakra Balancing Workshop Friday December 8th, and Yin Yoga to Live Music Sunday December 17th. Please take time to read through the details of the offerings below.
During the holiday season it is so helpful to take time to touch down on our mats and practice. A quiet Yin class can be great medicine for the overstimulation of the holidays, a Warm Power or Flow Class can help you to move and detoxify your body and mind from overindulging, an aerial class can be a fun outing with visiting family members. Whatever your needs, One Yoga has a class that will be just right for you. Enjoy the season from a place of being grounded, centered, and balanced.
Finally, thank you for choosing One Yoga as your yoga hOMe...it is an honor to serve you and to share the many blessings of yoga with you. Shine brightly, the world waits in the darkness for the light that is you!
Namaste,
Gina and all the One Yoga Team

TOP 5 BENEFITS OF AERIAL YOGA
- Find Bliss & Energy: Aerial yoga makes you happier! This is because more oxygen is delivered to your brain, helping it function optimally. It also releases “happy” hormones like dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin to make you feel AMAZING - full of blissful energy. Ahhhhh!!!!
- Improves Flexibility: Aerial yoga helps you to move more freely, with less effort, by counteracting gravity. Suspension in the air releases tension on the bones and muscles, increasing flexibility and deepening your practice. Expect to see increased spinal and shoulder flexibility!
- Pain Relief: It gives you the chance to hang freely, allowing for spinal traction and decompression. With less strain on your back and joints while doing the exercises, it eases tension in the spinal cord and hip joint, helping you feel significant pain relief.
- Full Body Workout: Because gravity is working harder on your body than usual, your muscles work harder too. Aerial yoga is also a great core workout because you have to engage your core muscles to balance and stabilize yourself. Muscles are toned and redefined, and joints are regenerated and strengthened.
- Mat poses become easier to master: Been working on your headstand or forearm stand in yoga? Let the hammock gently support you in difficult poses like inversions, giving you the experience of how a pose should feel. In other words, taking a few aerial classes might raise your game in your mat yoga classes as well.

"Don't Be Intimidated"
A Journey to Health & Wellness at One Yoga & Fitness
- Testimonial by Jane Neuharth
I almost didn’t come… I liked what I saw on One Yoga’s website, and I liked what I saw when I pressed my nose against the glass entrance door. But I am an overweight woman in my mid-50’s and I have never done yoga in my life. My body has been crying out to me for a while, though, and I knew that I wanted to try yoga. So, even though I was afraid that I might not be able to do it and that I might fall on my face and make a total fool of myself, I took what was a big step for me and came to One Yoga & Fitness. I am so very happy that I did!
I started by meeting with Gina for a couple of private introductory sessions. Gina is a perfect instructor for me – she is professional, kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She helped me get started and gave me the confidence to move on to the classroom setting.
To be honest, my plan was to get some private instruction, go to a few classes, and then get some DVDs, etc., so that I could practice yoga at home on my own. What I didn’t understand was just how special the group atmosphere would be! I have attended One Yoga classes taught by several different instructors and I love them all! Each instructor has her own teaching style and each of the classes is different, but they have each made me feel welcomed, comfortable, challenged and rewarded.
One Yoga’s open and generous spirit is contagious. The other students I have met are all friendly and it just feels good and right for me to be there.
In my first 90 days of practicing yoga, I have gained confidence, strength and balance and feel that I now belong to a community of like-minded, positive people. And, being part of this group has inspired me to take better care of myself in other ways… I have lost 15 pounds in this three month period and am looking forward to becoming stronger, more fit and more centered as I continue my yoga practice.
So… if you are feeling intimidated about trying yoga, please don’t be afraid. One Yoga is a perfect place to learn, have fun, get stronger and even tip over now and then. It’s all good.

Reduce Stress & Restore Spirit
Join Terri on Thursday mornings from 10:30-11:30 am for a stress relieving Restorative Yoga practice. This is a class available to Yogis of any skill level.
A Restorative Pose is any pose in which the arrangement of your bones, the support of the props, and the gentle pressure of gravity work together to re-channel the breath to the designated organ system that the pose supports.
New Class: Yoga Nidra
Check out our new Yoga Nidra!!!
Friday 10:30-11:30 am with Terri
Hammock or Floor
Start with 30 minutes of a relaxing, meditative stretching series and 30 minutes of Nidra.
Yoga Nidra or "yogic sleep" is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going to sleep" stage. It is a stage which the body is completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner world by following a set of instructions (similar to guided meditation) led by the teacher.
The Stress Solution
It has been estimated that stress is the underlying cause of as much as 80% of illnesses. Stress comes in many forms, many of them so much a part of our routine that we fail to recognize them as problems. These hidden stressors continually barrage us, and cumulatively they result in a wide range of health issues, including premature aging, degenerative diseases, insomnia, indigestion, high blood pressure, heartburn, addictions to alcohol, drugs and tobacco, and more.
Struggle is not an effective solution to change stressful, self-destructive behavior patterns because these habit patterns are deeply embedded in the pre-programming of the karmic body. To release these blockages, you must dismantle them at their very core.
Yoga Nidra takes you beyond the barriers of the five senses. In this realm, which we call the “Zero Stress Zone,” you have the power to actualize your intentions, affirmations and prayers. Yoga Nidra initiates shifts from the deepest core of your being and provides you with powerful tools to eliminate stress and banish self-destructive unconscious fears, beliefs and habits. Your life begins to synchronize with your intentions because you no longer fight yourself.
This technique is neither logical nor psychological. It is a quantum leap beyond the comprehension of the intellect to the domain of trust and faith, love and compassion. It bypasses the linear approach and allows you to resolve destructive patterns of behavior at their source. Yoga Nidra is the single most powerful tool that can help you reshape your life, rebuild your health, and renew your life.
