Sorry for the long hiatus! I’ve been busy with the little one. Somehow we have managed to figure out our schedule and the little yogi is allowing me to have some free time to teach.

So here is the official announcement, classes will resume on February 15, 2013! Hope to see you guys in class. Remember to text me when you’ve decided to come to class to make sure class pushes through. Please text the night before if it’s a morning class and before 12nn if it’s an afternoon/night class to give me ample time to find a sitter for the little yogi. Thank you.

MONDAY:
8:30 – 10 am Led Ashtanga Class
7:30 – 8:30 pm Vinyasa Yoga

WEDNESDAY:
8:30 – 9:30 am Vinyasa Yoga
4:30 – 5:30 pm Yin Yoga
7 – 8 pm Led Ashtanga Yoga

FRIDAY:

4:30 – 6 pm Led Ashtanga

Saturday:

4 – 5 pm Pregnancy Yoga

I’m so excited to add this new class into the schedule! Pregnancy Yoga has been offered in ES for awhile now but only in private classes. Now it is available at a regular time slot.

This specialized yoga class is here to help promote greater enjoyment of pregnancy, birth and babies. It is not called prenatal/perinatal yoga or postnatal yoga or partner yoga because I am welcoming women who are in different stages in their pregnancy.

Before attending the class, please inform me how far along you are in your pregnancy so the theme of the class can benefit all who are there. For women who are in the early stages of pregnancy (up to 16 weeks), it is advised to rest first.

If you are interested, please read more here.

Namaste!

My big day is just a few weeks away. The bad news is that classes are put on hold. Hope too see you all on December 12 when classes will resume.

Watch out for the new schedule!

Slight change in schedule. The 8pm Ashtanga class on Fridays will be cancelled. That’s all.

Made for Movement Yoga and Travel (MaMo) products are now available in our space. I don’t carry all of their products though. What I have are the UltiMats, Travel Towels and Skidless Yoga Towel w/ silicone dots.

The UltiMats come in 3 sizes. They are made with high density, non-toxic PVC.

• Queen which is the regular sized mat (although it is longer than my Jade Yoga mat). Thickness: 4mm Dimension: 60cm x 180cm (Grey, Maroon, Pink and Turquoise) P2,250
• King a wider and longer version of the Queen. Thickness: 4mm Dimension: 66cm x 185cm (Blue only) P2,550
• Ace is a thicker and wider version of the Queen. Thickness: 6mm Dimension: 66cm x 180cm (Black only) P3,000

These mats are pretty sticky when you first roll them open.  It has a nice grip.  It is a heavy mat since it’s really dense.  It’s not cushy at all.  I personally don’t like cushy mats since they affect the distribution of weight of the practitioner.  Some have mentioned that it’s almost like the Manduka Mats.  I wouldn’t really know if it’s true or not since I don’t own a Manduka mat.  Downside is that it gets slippery when it wet.  To remedy that, I use a towel to just wipe off the sweat. (I prefer to practice skin on mat and not on towel unless I’m sweating profusely that day)

It’s a good replacement for my existing mat.  My other yoga mat is the Jade Harmony mat which I love to pieces… And literally it is falling into pieces…  I’ve used it for almost a year and I find mat flakes all over my clothes and skin. I still recommend that mat to anyone who asks.  It’s light, grippy,  eco-friendly (biodegradable) but it’s pricey since it is meant to degrade after so many uses. I hear this UltiMat lasts long.

Travel Towels are also available.  These are made of Microfiber fabric.  It isn’t like the ones from Aquazorb unless they have new ones that I haven’t seen.  These are lighter.  I personally own a lot of Aquazorb towels (light series, sport towels, fluffy yoga mat towel, siliconed yoga towels… obviously I was a fan).  Having said that, I REALLY like these Microfiber Travel Towel of MaMo.  I own a beach towel and a hand towel.  The hand towel is enough to dry us from head to toe.  It absorbs FAST and if you can easily squeeze out the water.

• Hand Towel: 41cm x 70cm (White, Black, Margarine Yellow, Navy Blue, Powder Blue) P250
• Bath Towel: 70cm x 134cm ( White , Black, Margarine Yellow, Butter Yellow, Navy Blue, Powder Blue, Lawn Green, Midnight Green) P500
• Beach Towel: 80cm x 150cm (Black, Navy Blue (dark), Cerulean Blue (middle), Powder Blue (light), Butter Yellow (light), Margarine Yellow (darker) P650
• Yoga Mat Towel: 65cm x 185cm (Margarine Yellow, Butter Yellow, Powder Blue, Navy Blue) P750

Some of the features are Compact Design, Light Weight, Super Absorbent, Quick Drying, Non Fraying Fabric, Tear Resistant, Lint Free, and Machine Washable.  Dark colors (Navy Blue and Black, Midnight Green) are suggested to be washed with warm water for the first wash. For succeeding washes, wash together with your dark-colored clothes. DO NOT BLEACH, IRON OR USE FABRIC CONDITIONER.

Then there is the Skidless Yoga Mat Towels with Silicone Dots.  The size is 183 cm X 61 cm. Made with 100% Silicone nubs which is environment friendly and Microfiber fabric similar to Yogitoes.  Please DO NOT BLEACH, IRON OR USE FABRIC CONDITIONER.  Available at these colors: Light Pink, Dark Blue, Yellow with Orange Stitching, Purple, Green, and Maroon. P1,500

1. You’ll need to confirm your slot in the class by either emailing me at (k a r e n @ e k a g r a t a s a l a. c o m) or texting me at 09178436111.
2. If you don’t know the address of my studio, I will give you directions.
3. Come early or on time to prevent any interruptions. (This is the best time to inform/warn me if there are any concerns that I need to know. For example: time of the month, other health issues, need to leave at a specific time, etc.)
4. There are mats available in the sālā. However we would appreciate it if you bring your own so first-timers can use the sālā mats.
5. It would be best if your last meal was 3 hrs before class. If you have high metabolism, 2hrs- 1 hr may be enough. It varies from person to person.
6. Keep yourself hydrated. You can bring a water bottle to class in case you get thirsty.
7. You will need a face/hand towel to wipe off sweat. If you perspire profusely, bring a beach towel to put over your yoga mat to prevent you from slipping.
8. Wear comfortable-stretchy-breathable clothes. Something that won’t go over your head when you bend over. We practice barefoot.
9. Most of all, come with an open mind.

I hope to hear from you.

Namaste.

-Karen
