Inner Power Yoga September News and Happenings
Dear Yogis and Yoginis,
Labor Day signals the end of summer filled with great experiences, wonderful beach vacations and warm sunshine to make us smile, but we can look forward to a brand new beginning with all its promises as we enter fall, which for many of us is our favorite season of the year.
What are your goals and plans for September? Do they include doing something that has scared you in the past and it takes courage to finally say, “let’s do it!”?
I have read it somewhere that courage isn’t an absence of fear, it’s doing what you are afraid to do. It’s having the power to let go of the familiar and forge ahead into new territory.
For a wonderful group, that means starting on an amazing and fulfilling path as they embark on their Teacher Training course with us starting in a few weeks. I could not be any more excited about sharing what I know and seeing them shine during the next six months!
So take a leap, and do something you have been afraid to do; be it skydiving or having a difficult conversation with someone to give you closure. Face the music and you face your fears! As John Henry Newman said, “Fear not that your life will come to an end but that it will never have a beginning.” You will be glad you did!
Warmly,
Ursula and the IPY teachers
Labor Day Schedule

Ki Power Vinyasa Master Class
Please mark your calendar for a great program coming up in November!
Our favorite sensei, Isauro Fernandez is back to teach his signature Ki Power Vinyasa Master class on Sunday, November 20 1:00 – 3:00 pm. Isauro’s class was sold out in July, please make sure to register in advance if you would like to experience his passionate teaching style and wonderful spirit!
Created by Isauro Fernandez, Ki Power Vinyasa is a powerful and purposeful blend of sweat, strength and spirit. It combines the movement and breath of vinyasa with the grace, focus and physical intensity of the martial arts. Isauro challenges his students to embark on a journey of personal development to uncover their authenticity through movement, meditation and mantra.
This master class offers the opportunity to flow into an empowered and authentic self through an intense physical work out that is accessible to all levels. The class will begin with an inspirational talk and meditation followed by a 90 minute Ki Power Vinyasa flow and a closing meditation.
