Happy Holidays!

Dear Everyone,  (traduction francais à suivre- bientot)
 
Happy year's end to you all!  This is always a special time of year, a time that gives us the opporutnity to reflect on the year behind us as we look forward, at lessons learned and dreams to be realized.  It seems everything piles up in December for me when I celebrate my birthday, the anniversary of the yoga centre and even my wedding anniversary.  The Centre de Yoga du Marais is 7 years old this month.  I am sending a special warm thank you to those of you who have been coming for years, and who feel the centre is your home.  I know I always feel at home when I see you!  To add to my December events, I am also moving into a larger apartment which is even closer to the Yoga Marais.  As I think back on my last seven and a half years in Paris, I am very happy to make le Marais my home.  I guess my little family is staying here.
 
Because my phone and internet service will be temporarily interrupted very soon, please contact me on my cell phone.  Also if you have not heard from me by email, please call:
06 31 91 92 12.  There will be no classes from Dec 21-Jan 4. (Except for New Year's Day!)
 
I have some news for December and January.  The pricing will change just a bit to keep the class cards affordable.  As of Jan 1 you can buy a 15 class card at 165 euros, 11 euros a class.  Then, I am offering an 8 class card at 14 euros a class, (112 euros) and then the price of a single class will be 17 euros.  If you are a student you can still pay 15 euros.
 
January 1, 11h30:  Chantal is giving a free New Year's Day class.  You can sign up by giving Chantal or myself a call.  We will remain here over the holidays.
 
Mommy and Me is canceled Dec 11 and 18.  We will resume Mommy and Me on January 8.  Yoga for Kids will resume after the vacation on January 7.
 
I am sorry, but I need to cancel the Winter Solstice meditation due to the move. 
 
The annual holiday detox workshop will be 11 Januray 13h30-16h30.  We always have a lot of fun in this workshop when we jumpstart our New Year's resolutions.  Please send me your reservation ahead of time, 30 euros to hold your place.
 
Good News!
It has been brought to my attention that the Mairie in some cases will reimburse a continuing education for you.  This means that if you were thinking of doing the
you can be reimbursed for all or part of it.  Check with your employer or union.  You will need a "numero déclaration d'activité"  from me which I am in the process of working on.  This may take a month, so I am postponing the Teacher Training until March.  I would like to have two more participants as well, so please let me know if you are interested.  We will continue on a 200-hour schedule so that you would be certified to teach by the end of June.  Also, this is an occasion to move deeper into your practice without necessarily the intention to teach.  This time is for you.
 
I wish you all, new friends and old, a warm, happy and healthy holiday season.  I will see you soon!
Namaste,
Michelle
