Sadly, despite being on the case all weekend, Rosalie the Yoga Cat has been unsuccessful in getting to the root of our website issue, and has retreated to her chamber for a much needed rest. She has passed the responsibility to the IYIP board who is working to get answers. Meanwhile, just a reminder that you can still register for classes and access the schedule through Namastream/Hey Marvelous. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to have our site up and running again asap!

Rosalie would like to apologize for our website being down. She is troubleshooting the issue and will hopefully have it resolved asap! Meanwhile all classes are on as per usual, with registration through namastream. Thank you for your patience!

Batch two, donor party

Yesterday was such a lovely, joyful event. I can’t thank everyone enough for participating in this donor luncheon and spending the afternoon with us. The past 5 years have been very heavy and permeated by loss. Covid, the loss of Sara and Kit, not to mention the myriad of personal tragedies than befell our teaching staff.

Yesterday was a gathering focused on positivity, the future, forward trajectory, joy, community, fresh starts and excitement. It was so nice to be able to just be happy in one another’s presence.

I look forward to looking forward with all of you, my dear IYIP family. If we could get through the past 5-6 years we can get through anything. Let’s keep this Light on Yoga lit and burning for future generations ♥️
