I just wanted to inform all about when Yoga was available for this week. Monday and Tuesday’s class is from 7 – 8:15 pm and Saturday’s class is earlier than usual – it will be 8 – 9:15 am. Saturday’s class is earlier because the church needs the room for their Thanksgiving festivities. The church thankfully allowed me to teach instead of having to cancel class.

The address for Mowatt Memorial Church is 40 Ct. Ridge Rd. Greenbelt, MD. There is plenty of off-street parking.  If you do not have a yoga mat, I will have extras available.  The class is $10 drop-in and is suitable for all levels of students.  Be it your first or 100th class, I believe you will enjoy and find benefit in my style of yoga practice.

Namaste.

Hello everyone,

The board of trustees for the Mowatt Memorial Church approved our petition to have Yoga classes. I hope to be able to resume teaching classes next week. Classes will be held Monday and Tuesday evenings from 7 – 8:15 pm and Saturday morning from 10:15 – 11:30. The church is located at 40 Ridge Rd. Greenbelt. Drop in classes are $10 and you may buy a block of classes in advance. I feel very fortunate to be able to continue to share with our wonderful community.

Please visit the “Schedule” tab of karlgaryyoga.com to find driving directions to the church.  There is plenty of off-street parking.

Namaste.

Yes, it’s true the Yoga studio is again going through transition. I recently spoke with Gwen and she is overwhelmed with managing and overhead but her lease continues for another six months. She is interested in trying to use the space for that duration but can not guarantee the space will be available after that. A few ideas have been discussed but there seems to be no clear exit strategy for closing.

That being said, I am currently trying to find space for us to have class. I have been in touch with the Greenbelt Arts Center and the Mowatt Memorial Church and both seem to be entertaining the idea but it is not yet clear what they will charge for use of space. I also looked into teaching at the Community Center but they will not let me rent space for teaching unless I teach through the Recreation Department and the next available session does not start until January. I mentioned to those in class on Mon and Tues that I am willing to teach at my residence. I think I could accommodate 6 students comfortably and this would also make the classes cheaper.

In preparation for this transition lets explore the potential of me teaching from home this Friday. I invite you to my home from 7 – 8:15 pm for a $10 class. I plan on teaching the Yi Jin Jing and providing more instruction on the Yogic breath as well as including a longer meditation. Please email me for the address if you are interested.

Namaste.
