21-Day Yoga Challenge

We successfully completed the 21-day yoga program on Sunday, April 25. It was a wonderful experience for the students as well as for me as the instructor. We had a total of 14 participants. On the average 12 people attended each day with one or two having to miss due to genuine reasons. It was truly heart-warming to see the commitment of everyone to stay with the program even when there were obstacles presented by the daily rigors of life.

Given the immense success of this "pilot" 21-day yoga challenge program, I have decided to conduct another one in June. I sent the announcement out a few days ago and am pleased to announce that it is almost fully subscribed already. I am grateful to all the participants for their commitment and support. If there is continued interest, I will be holding more similar programs in the future.
