Class Cancellations and Subs this Week
I am still out of action with a kidney stone and am unable to do any yoga or teach. The surgery I had last friday failed to remove the stone so I now have a 3 week wait until I can be re-evaluated. In the meantime, all of the classes I normally teach will be cancelled.

The following is a list of cancellations:

- Monday, May 12 - 8:00 am class cancelled
- Wednesday, May 14 - All classes cancelled
- Thursday, May 15 - All classes cancelled
- Friday, May 16 - 8:00 am class cancelled
- Saturday, May 17 - All classes cancelled
- Sunday, May 18 - All classes cancelled 

I hope that these changes don't create too much of an interruption in your yoga practice, and look forward to seeing you as soon as I can.
