The class experience includes: Circle Ceremony, Mirrored Asana, Partner Yoga Flow, AssistedInversions, Basic Partner Acrobatics, Flying Sequences and Thai Massage. Grounded in th e breath, we will draw upon the natural forces of gravity and “metta” (the Buddhist notion of loving kindness) to encourage the body to let go of fear and tension. Students are requested to have familiarity with yoga. No partner necessary!LIGHT & FLIGHT: Flying Intensive 7:00-9:30 pmThis workshop builds off the three basic flying positions: Folded Leaf, High Flying Whale, and Back Leaf to create dynamic flying flows. The relationship between partners deepens as they exchange roles as flyer and base, increasing their capacity for trust and communication. The base is the partner that creates a stable platform for the flyer to explore inverted aerial asana flows. The flyer receives spinal and muscular release while the base is the recipient of Thai Massage. Students will learn a variety of therapeutic acrobatic flying sequences, including variations for more advanced AcroYoga practitioners.COST: $40 per workshop; $70 for bothChristina Friese is a Registered Yoga Instructor, certified at the 250-hour level. She loves all types of aerial performance, and is a certified Acro Yoga Teacher. http://www.marblesyoga.comRegister: Marbles Yoga Studio 314-621-4744****************************************************************************************************The Boxcutter Cabaret Puppet Tour

*****************************************************************************************************Jerome Johnson Trial Postponed‏Jerome Johnson's civil trial, alleging violations of his civil rights by the St. Louis Police Department, has been indefinitely postponed. Jerome's attorney unfortunately died suddenly of a heart attack. Stay tuned for information when the trial has been re-scheduled.*****************************************************************************************************Despoliation of St. Louis‏http://stlua.blogspot.com/2008/01/despoliation-of-st-louis.html  Regarding the ongoing demolitions at Glasgow and St. Louis Avenues, we have not lost anything, rather it has been taken from us, through coercion and deception, by the insidious terrorist Paul McKee. This knave somehow believes that demolition of these buildings, at the formerly intact and wonderfully urban intersection of Glasgow and St. Louis Avenue, is in the best interest of the City. If one ignores the fact that these buildings were occupied, then perhaps, with adequate hallucinogenic substances and propaganda, this lie is palatable. The reason the emergency demolition permit was issued is because he allowed, through negligence as a property owner, or outright organized, the brick rustling of these buildings. This systemic cancer is spreading across the North Side. Its cause is obvious to those who are watching.When will the citizenry of this once proud, cosmopolitan, and progressive 4th Most Populous City say enough is enough? When will those who believe in St. Louis' potential recognize that his actions are racist and erasing our history? The fruit of such history, our built environment, makes St. Louis aesthetically attractive and economically unique due to scarcity! It is an asset which separates us from suburbia and other cities which were not blessed with our plethora of wonderful masonry buildings!http://vanishingstl.blogspot.com/2008/01/being-slumlord-is-hard-work.html       ******************************thanks,parys
