Jason will be doing a Thai Yoga class July 26th at 11am.
This one-of-a-kind informal class is designed to compliment and/or supplement one’s active yoga practice and/or lifestyle. Thai Yoga is a partner-style passive/active stretching class. The participant can come solo to be partnered up or come as a duo. The intention of the class is to learn co-participation (unity), develop core movement, increase flexibility both passively and actively (Thai style) and have fun. The class is slow-paced, high concentration, and a terrific benefit for both the giver and the recipient. In order to take this class, some knowledge of anatomy is useful (but not required) and you do not need to be flexible to participate. Come get stretched out!For more info visit the website, www.northernarizonayogacenter.com.

Girlymann Concert

Girlyman is coming to Flagstaff! Maybe you've heard of them? They often open for the Indigo Girls. They will be playing at the yoga center Wednesday June 24th at 8pm. Doors open at 7pm. Tickets are $13 + tax at the door.
Harmonies – if you had to describe the music of Girlyman in one word, this would be it. The band blends modern acoustic, americana, and folk-rock into a musical recipe The Village Voice has called “really good, really unexpected, and really different.” The wide range of instruments – acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, djembe, electric baritone guitar – reflects an eclectic sound, and the band members switch off lead vocals and songwriting duties. But it is the stunning three-part vocal blend that creates the Girlyman magic.
