Inner Power Yoga November News and Happenings

Dear Yogis and Yoginis,

I hope you are looking forward to the holiday season this year starting with Thanksgiving in a few short weeks. Practicing gratitude for our big and small blessings in a daily basis makes life so much more rewarding and sweeter! Practice giving thanks and appreciate all the abundance instead of focusing on what’s lacking in your life! We have so much to be thankful for!

Here is a short testimonial from one of our wonderful students, Irene, on how her yoga practice has helped her and what she is grateful for. Thank you for sharing, Irene!

“I am very grateful to be practicing and to be a part of the IPY community. I was diagnosed with epilepsy 13 years ago after having our son. I have been lucky to have the incredible support from my family, my friends, my faith, my amazing neurologist and the love, inspiration and motivation of my son, Jack.

While practicing and continuing to learn from the incredible teachers and students at our IPY community, I believe that yoga can help individuals with epilepsy. Seizures are triggered by imbalances in the nervous system, stress and other reasons still unknown. Yoga is about finding balance, develop awareness, calming the nervous system while managing stress and lessen anxiety.

IPY and yoga have given me so much, and now its my time to give back. I have been given the privilege to speak to the Northern VA Epilepsy Group Chapter about how yoga has helped me and hopefully I can help others. Take a deep breath and enjoy the moment! Do what makes you feel good and the rest will come!”

As a small token of our gratitude to YOU, we will randomly select one of our students to receive a free 1 month unlimited pass to IPY on Thanksgiving day! Please leave your name and email address in our Suggestion Box by the Front Desk! Thank you for your support!

We look forward to seeing you on your mat this month in our studio!

Warmly,

Ursula and the IPY teachers


Introduction to Yoga with Tiffany Coombs (5 week series)

Stepping into a yoga studio filled with students who seemed to know exactly what they are doing can be intimidating for newcomers. We have designed a 5 week program to give you the perfect start to join our classes or to make sure that you are doing all the poses right, offering help if needed.

For more information, please see our website under Events and Workshops.

We would like to limit the size of our group to give as much attention as our private clients receive in their sessions. Here is a testimonial from Mary, one of our private students, about her experience with Tiffany at IPY. Thank you, Mary!

“Searching on the Internet for a yoga studio that could meet my individual need for a “gentle yoga” approach, I came across several excellent comments about Ursula and her Inner Power Yoga studio. I wrote her an email message asking for her advice and recommendation in finding a program that would work for me. She suggested that I try an individual session with Tiffany Coombs, one of her yoga teachers with a special knack for working with beginners. From the first session I knew I had found the right fit. In an insightful way, Tiffany asked me about what I had thought I needed. She listened closely, blended her skills and instincts to design a mix of yoga poses and stretches to meet my needs. With each session I can feel a definite improvement!

The design of the studio is airy and quiet, scrupulously clean and peaceful! I am delighted to have found Tiffany, Ursula and this wonderful studio!”
