Arlington open as scheduled tonight

We're warm and ready for you at 5:30, and 7 plus the members class at 8:30. Emphasis on warm ;)

No noon class at Arlington today!

We're having a bit of a problem with our heat at the Arlington studio, so rather than practice polar yoga, we're canceling the noon class. We hope to have everything resolved before the 5:30pm class, but stay tuned to the blog, Facebook and Twitter for updates. Thanks, and our apologies for the inconvenience!

The noon class at the Dupont Circle studio is being held if that's an option for you!

TSA Babies and Preparing for a Tranquil Birth...



Have you ever seen two more adorable and tranquil yogis? Meet two of our newest TSA students--practicing sphinx pose and enjoying each others company at Baby + Me last week.

Want to join them? We have a weekly Baby + Me class with Katie Kerstetter at 10:00am on Fridays at Tranquil Space Arlington. Parents, grandparents, caretakers, or and/friends + babies ages 0-6 months are welcome.

Similarly, if you're expecting, join Barbara Jazzo at TSA for our "Preparing for a Tranquil Birth" workshop THIS Saturday, 1/28, from 5-7pm.

The workshop description is below:

Come and learn how to prepare for labor and childbirth in a calm and peaceful way. We will discuss fundamental information about the labor and childbirth process, including birthing positions and coping strategies. We will then explore how various components of our yoga practice, postures, breath, and meditation can ease the birthing process. Through hands-on partner activities, we will practice additional comfort measures and also learn how to support a woman with epidural analgesia. This is ideal for women and their partners or support persons.

Barbara Jazzo will be teaching this class. She is a prenatal massage therapist and a certified childbirth educator (she currently teaches for George Washington and Georgetown Hospitals) and a long time meditator and yoga practitioner.

We hope to see you at one of these upcoming offerings!

You can sign up online here.

Namaste!

Member Feature: Priscilla Lund




This mid-month feature is to meet one of our Tranquil Space Members!

I am a native New Englander who moved to Washington, DC ten years ago. I joined Tranquil Space one year ago to fulfill a new year’s resolution to expand my home practice. Although I was disciplined about practicing yoga at home, I was beginning to feel that I was not challenging myself. My favorite poses are Ardha Chandrasana (Half-Moon), Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II), and Vrksasana (Tree). The poses that I tend to avoid are Ukatasana (Chair) and Paripurna Navasana (Boat). I am the Director of Admissions at Capitol Hill Day School and, although sometimes stressful, what I love most about my job is that I get to play regularly with 4 and 5 year olds. My hobbies are walking, cuddling with my cat Petunia, reading, traveling, and rooting for the Red Sox. The two bravest, or one could say craziest, things I’ve ever done are swim with piranhas in Ecuador and go para-sailing off a mountain in Switzerland.

Save the Date: Documentary Screening 3/2


I'm over the moon to share our first scheduled documentary screening in Tranquil Space Labs: Vegucated on Friday, March 2 7-9pm. Mingle off the mat, savor veggie treats, and cOMmune with fellow yogis over this eye-opening documentary. Floor seating. $10 suggested donation to Pigs Animal Sanctuary. Complimentary for members and team members. I saw this at a release in November and loved it - we hope you will, too!

Here's the skinny:
Vegucated is a feature-length documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. There’s Brian, the bacon-loving bachelor who eats out all the time, Ellen, the single mom who prefers comedy to cooking, and Tesla, the college student who avoids vegetables and bans beans. They have no idea that so much more than steak is at stake and that the fate of the world may fall on their plates. Lured with true tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover hidden sides of animal agriculture and soon start to wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food, Inc. go far enough. Before long, they find themselves risking everything to expose an industry they supported just weeks before.

But can their conviction carry them when times get tough? What about on family vacations fraught with skeptical step-dads, carnivorous cousins, and breakfast buffets?

Part sociological experiment, part science class, and part adventure story, Vegucated showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who share one journey and ultimately discover their own paths in creating a kinder, cleaner, greener world, one bite at a time.
