Hello Friends and Yogis, 

I am happy to announce my next TWEENS/TEENS YOGA SERIES starts tomorrow  through 8 Limbs Yoga Centers- Phinney Ridge.

This 6-week series will run on Wednesdays, April 19-May 24, from 4-5pm. And this one’s IN PERSON ONLY offering lots of time for creating more community within our sweet group. 

Guiding these Tweens and Teens in the practice of yoga – through breath, movement, and conversation – is one of the most rewarding and meaningful things I do.  I am devoted to my own practice of yoga & meditation and enjoy sharing that passion along with some of the tools that we can access to help students become more aware of their own bodies, thoughts and emotions. 

Developing the practice of yoga as a kind of ‘Superpower’ can allow these 10-14 year-olds an opportunity to find more ease and more joy in a fast-paced and complex world where technology and a lack of connection with others and with  nature can sometimes make us feel stressed and alienated. There is a big focus (as requested by students) on exploring ways in which we can slow down and relax.  We also have a lot of fun and there is space for connecting as a group where everyone is welcome and included and unique.

You can register here: https://8limbsyoga.com/offering/tween-yoga-series/– and if you can’t make it tomorrow, you may start next week!

You can call or text or email me if you have questions.

And please forward this to others you know who have kids aged 10-14 who may like to participate!

Here are some great shows I’m playing this month. Put one (or two) of ’em on your calendar!

Mimi Parker of Low died of ovarian cancer in November of 2022. She had an angelic voice, a poetic and spiritual lyrical sensibility, a beautifully unique approach to drums, and by all accounts was a truly humble and generous person and a wonderful friend. Please come and celebrate her life with us, a small  handful of the countless musicians inspired and moved by Mimi’s voice, words, and rhythms. We’ll do our best to honor her with our interpretations of some of our favorite Low songs.

Dear Lovers of Live Music, I’m really, really excited about this mid-week show:

I can’t believe that it’s been over four years since the last local Downpilot show – but it has been.  And we’re back after some interesting times…

The incredibly talented, one and only Paul Hiraga has reconvened the band (Jeff Brown, Anne Marie Ruljancich, Mike Musburger, Me) to celebrate the release of the new album, THE FORECAST, at our beloved Tractor Tavern.

And we’ll have freshly pressed Vinyl and CDs available ahead of the official 3/17 release date.

Our good friends the Danny Newcomb band will be kicking off the evening, so it should be a great night out. Please come out and support live music!
