Have goals for the new year? “New year new you,” can be a motivational phrase, but staying on track when working alone is hard. It becomes easier when we join with other like-minded folks. In St. Johns we have many opportunities to join with friends and neighbors to achieve our goals and encourage each other.

Take advantage of these or other opportunities. It is one of the best things about living in St. Johns, a small town in a big city.

This month ShantiOm Yoga is offering a beginning yoga series starting Saturday, January 7th. Yoga is meant for every body, though for a beginner it can be confusing and intimidating. This four-week series taught at ShantiOm Yoga will improve your posture, connect you more deeply with your breath, and help quiet your mind. It will also introduce you to basic yoga positions and make you more comfortable walking into most yoga classes.

Saturdays, January 7th, 14th, 28th, and February 4th from 4:00 – 6:00 PM. $65.00
