MARCH NEWS
This month as things begin to bloom after winter, the weather becomes warm and we are drawn out of our cozy nests and outdoors again, take some time to reflect inwardly as the season changes. We have many offerings for introspection and contemplation, and a special treat--I will be traveling March 17-24 to teach in Prague--Narayani Noelle Cavenaugh will be covering all my classes, with a few special events of her own. Don't miss this opportunity to practice with her! See her complete schedule at    www.republicofyoga.com  and enjoy!
Namaste,
Nicole

WAKING UP: SPIRITUALITY NOW--EXCHANGING SELF WITH OTHERS (COMPASSION IN ACTION)
WITH NICOLE NICHOLS
SATURDAY, MARCH 26  1:30-3:30PM

The second installment in our bi-monthly series on Spirituality dives deeper into the practice of compassion. At the heart of Buddha's 84,000 teachings is bodhicitta: the awakening mind that holds the wish for enlightenment in order to free all sentient beings from suffering and lead them to happiness and freedom. We'll discuss the 5-part method of exchanging self with other, including tong-len meditation, and a healing slow flow asana practice designed to open the heart. $35
