Hello Good Vibe Tribe,
"Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you. They're supposed to help you discover who you are." Bernice Reagan
Did you know that Spring is just 5 weeks away? I'm not kidding...it's March 20th. Oh how I long for the extended days of light and warmer weather. Every year when winter arrives I think to myself, how will I endure this dark, cold time until Spring? And sure enough, every year I somehow manage to make it through. I know this is a silly example but you know what I am talking about , right? This happens on a grander scale in our lives as well. How will I make it through this divorce, this health challenge , this loss of a job. As long as we are alive we will continue to come up against unexpected changes and challenges. The tools of yoga and meditation teach us how to build inner resolve so we are more equipped to handle the hardships of life. We are reminded that in these sometimes dark and challenging places we grow the most. The important, but not always easy, part is to acknowledge the growth or lessons along the way.
We have some exciting workshops and opportunities for growth coming up at Fusion.
*Avianna Castro - The Midwest Medium will be back in May. She packed the house last year and people are still talking about her positive messages.
*Stephanie Kubik will be offering her Spring cleanse again in April. If you missed this opportunity last year to learn more about Ayurveda and a healthier lifestyle you have another chance.
*Also, check out our exciting Flight School Camp coming up in September. We know that is a ways off but we are already half full.
As always, thank you all for your loyal support and for being a part of our wonderful yoga community. We want to continue to be an oasis where you can come each week to build up your resilience.
Peace & Grace,
Marsha

Ayurveda 101 & Spring Cleanse
Would you like to know some basic nutritional and lifestyle tips on how to live a healthier life and maybe even lose some unwanted pounds? Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga and a way to live a more balanced and he
althy life.
Wednesday, April 12
,
Stephanie Neighbor Kubik will be hosting an Ayurveda 101 workshop from
6-8 pm
. She will talk specifically about each dosha (b
ody type) and what diet & lifestyle changes you can make to feel more balanced. The cost for the 2 hour class is $49 and will be held at Fusion, Studio B.
The following week, Stephanie will lead a 3-week Spring cleanse
to reset and purify the digestive system. Cleansing is natural in spring - we often feel a deep urge to rid ourselves of old unwanted items and create a new space. Ayurveda understands this deeply-seated tendency as something very significant: a powerful natural movement within; a physiological trend to clean out.
There are two options for the cleanse: Monday evening from 6-7:30 PM or Wednesday 1-2 PM
If you register for Ayurveda 101 plus the cleanse, the cost is $130.
Separately, the three week cleanse is $99.
A little
b
it
from Stephanie: I've been a health & wellness nut as long as I can remember. I've always lo
ved to move in some form and on any given day, you may see me walking the streets of Cedar Rapids - very far from where you think I should be! I have a nerdy hobby of reading everything I can on holistic nutrition, healthy recipes an
d Ayur
veda. I completed my 200 hour Ayurveda training at Kripalu Yoga Institute in 2015 as well as my 200 hour yoga teacher training. I love teaching yoga and sharing my knowledge of Ayurveda. It's a 5000 year old science & just makes sense - I think it's very intuitive & I'm sure you'll feel the same!
