Greetings dear students and friends of DOWNdog,
On this rainy morning at the beginning of November I am writing and hoping for some inspiration for this new post.It
We are at the outset of a new Session, Session 2. Each Session is 7 weeks. If you would like to attend a practice at DOWNdog, it is a good time to register for a trial class. However, some spaces are available at the beginning of the new Session.

I always hesitate to talk about myself but perhaps the reticence is not warranted this morning. So please allow me…
I have taken classes with Roxanne in the past and am now registered in two of Mike’s classes.
Roxanne’s classes offered me a wonderful opportunity to find not only greater flexibility and strength, but a feeling of centredness and peace. I deepened my understanding of the yoga philosophy. What I learned from Roxanne, I have incorporated into my at home practice.
When I started to take classes with Mike, I needed a chair (and then the wall) to find balance in many, if not most, of the standing poses. With time, I am now able to do some of the balancing poses on one leg. Balance and strength go hand in hand as we all know. This strength I bring into my daily activities and relationships.

DOWNdog’s vision is to provide a warm and welcoming venue, experienced, top notch and dedicated teachers, in a welcoming community environment. Together, I believe they provide the best possible yoga experience.
I would like to thank the students of DOWNdog for your kind support. The opening session of year 10 has been wonderful.
Thank you Roxanne and Mike for all the extra time and care you so generously give to all students.
Lastly, community support has made and continues to make DOWNdog a wonderful space to practice yoga. Thank you!
