Our friend Scott Badenoch wrote a lovely article describing Sofiah’s Way as he calls it.  It is a moving piece spoken from the heart, please take the time to view it.

Thanks for the promo Jenny and Krissy, come back and play with us soon!

I have been practicing yoga for a while now and when I first heard of Shinade’s Yoga Bliss, Feel Good Yoga, the sarcastic side of me thought "isn’t that redundant?  isn’t all yoga supposed to make you feel good?" And right there I knew that I had answered my own question.  Yes, all Yoga should make you feel good, but if you’re like me I’m sure you’ve had classes that haven’t. 

Through the years, the more mainstream yoga becomes, more people call themselves "yoga teachers" and sadly give people the wrong impression and people can end up having bad yoga experiences.  The first time I ever went to a class, there was such a weird and creepy vibe to the whole feel of the "class" that I didn’t venture out to try another class till two years later and had gained the common sense to get some recommendations about the person giving the class before I went. 

So here is mine, after experiencing Shinade’s class on Monday I can truly attest that I felt good afterwards.  Better than feeling good, her class truly was full on yogi bliss!  Shinade guides you through a lovely warm, asanas, flows, it is obvious that the gal clearly knows what she is doing. 

This Sunday she is having a four hour class and I really recommend you treat yourself to her Feel Good Yoga.
