Grand Opening & Holiday Party!

Firstly, please let me apologize for my long absence from your inbox! The transition into the new studio has had a much bigger scope than I anticipated, but I think I'm finally starting to dig out from under my To Do list. I've really missed our weekly interactions! I wanted to make sure you know about our upcoming Grand Opening & Holiday Party. We're so looking forward to it! It will be next Saturday, December 14th, from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. I think it will be a lot of fun!

Our friends from Pflugerville Acupuncture and Hands On will be onsite providing free mini-treatments and our friend Michelle Hutchison, who is an independent Arbonne representative, will be providing a free hand scrub, perfect for this drying winter weather.

If you're interested in receiving any of these free services, please plan to arrive early to reserve your spot. We'll have a sign-in sheet and the services will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

We've also planned a tasty menu of Indian hors devours, spicy masala tea, a surprise mango cocktail, and some lovely sweet treats.

We'll be giving away an amazing array of door prizes courtesy of some awesome local businesses including Cadiz Laser Spa, Ceramic Lodge, Corner Bakery, Hands On, Main Street Grill, Michelle Hutchison (Independent Arbonne Consultant), Pflugerville Acupuncture, Stacy Wooster Apothecary + Studio, Sunday's Brow Bar, and To Di For Bakery.

And finally, we'll enjoy a musical performance courtesy of our very own Tyagaraja!

Doesn't that sound like fun?!

We sure hope you can join us to celebrate the opening of our new location and the wonderful holiday season!

XO, Zelinda

P.S. Please feel welcome to invite friends. Consider this event an open house - teachers will be on hand and happy to answer questions about yoga and our studio.

Our New Home!

I sure have missed you! I've been so wrapped up in the transition from our old studio to our new one that I haven't sent out a weekly love note in more than a month (gasp!). I'm excited to announce that after a stressful few weeks that included rain delays, the construction superintendent quitting, and some other craziness, WE ARE FINALLY OPEN FOR CLASSES!!!

It's so wonderful to be in our new space. As you know, it's been a long time coming, over a year actually! I'd like to use this post to help get you acquainted with our new home.

Location First off, I should tell you where we're located. Pichi did an excellent job updating the Location page on our website. She included lots of helpful photos so you can easily find us.

Our building is the one made of red brick and tan stucco. We're located on the second floor. After you park, just walk into the center courtyard. You'll know you're in the right place if you see a giant palm tree in the center planter. The elevator and stairs are located in the corner near the directional sign that lists all the businesses (btw, our sign is not up yet - we're in Suite 220).

Lobby When you walk through our front door, you'll be in our lobby. Please tell the front desk staff person your name so she can check you in for your class. The front desk person can help you with any schedule, workshop, class pricing, or merchandise questions you may have, and she can also handle any reservations or purchases you wish to make.

You can drop off your shoes at the shoe shelf directly in front of the front door. Please take any other personal belongings with you into your class.

Our lobby is typically staffed during our busy class times: M - F 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. & 5:00 - 8:45 p.m. and weekends from 7:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Studios We have two studios now (yay!). During class you can store your personal items in the cubbies located at the back of each studio. Each studio features windows and pretty views with lots of trees, and is fully stocked with lots of yoga props. Our studio lights are on dimmers and we just had new thermostats installed to regulate the temperature in each studio independently.

For larger classes or events, we can open the double doors between the two studios to create one large studio space.

Restrooms/Changing Rooms Our new studio has two large wheelchair accessible restrooms that can be accessed from the lobby. They are plenty big to change your clothes in before or after your class.

We're still settling into our new home, and over the next few weeks you'll continue to see improvements and little touches to further personalize the space.

The new studio has been a labor of love. I had a couple of really wonderful advisors when I opened the original The Yoga Room on Round Rock Ave. They advised me to start small, make sure I can cover my expenses, then slowly grow when there are enough yoga students to support a bigger space.

I am so grateful for all the students and teachers who have make the new studio possible. I love that together we are growing the Round Rock yoga community - and at the same time we're growing our consciousness, our strength, our flexibility, and our capacity for love.

I so look forward to welcoming you at our new home. If you haven't already, please come by and visit sometime soon! We have lots of fun plans in store, including a Grand Opening/Holiday Party in early December.

As always, please feel welcome to post your questions and thoughts in the Comments section below. You can also communicate with me and all the teaching staff via phone (512-944-0426), email, and on our Facebook page.
