Who is planning to attend the annual Midwest Yoga Conference June3-6 at Indian Lakes Resort in Bloomington, Illinois? Three of my Alton yoga students and I went last year and we enjoyed every minute of it. Wonderful acomodations and great workshops and speakers. It's so driveable, somewhat reasonable(?), and happens during our best spring weather. Due to another commitment, I won't be going this year, but 2 from my group are. Who else? If you plan to attend how about sharing some highlights of your experiences on our website. We'd love to hear from you! Valerie White

It's time to take action.
On behalf of Spirit of Yoga-St Louis, we urge your support of State Senate Bill No. 726, sponsored by Senator Joan Bray, which specifically exempts retail sales tax on Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong instruction.
We realize that the state may be desperate for funds, but we cannot agree with their characterization that yoga studios are "places of amusement, entertainment, or recreation" that are subject to sales tax. We feel that this bill will legislatively remedy the disparity that allows exemptions for those teachers who do not teach in "places of amusement, entertainment, or recreation."
Make yourself heard. Send some mail.
- Letter to Missouri's Governor's office
- Letter to your state representative and senator. Don't know who those people might be? You can look up your legislators [here].
Studio owners- help by taking the following six steps here.
Yoga, when appropriately practiced, can have a profound affect upon your body, emotions, and diet. But did you know that when properly practiced, yoga also offers you help and insight into your relationships including your responsibility and role in them?
A great way to cultivate spirituality is through a rigorous routine. Specifically, the foods we put into our bodies are very connected to how spiritually grounded we are on any given day of the week.
One thing which is gaining increasing popularity is yoga. Especially in this time of economic uncertainty where people are losing their jobs left and right, yoga and meditation are things that are becoming more common. Not only is yoga relaxing, but it helps to relieve stress that people feel and accumulate throughout the day. If you have never tried yoga, make sure that you do your research. The reasons that people choose to do yoga vary from person to person, and there are different levels of yoga classes out there.
Did you know you can create your groups at SOY? Yesiree!!! Group members can then upload photos and videos to be shared among fellow group members, as well as lead discussion groups & post announcements!
Yoga is growing fast -- already a three Billion dollar industry in the US alone. Everything we've worked towards for years is now bearing fruit. We can celebrate the fact that yoga has shown up on the landscape of a culture that so desperately needs what it offers. Yoga is changing lives everywhere and its popularity is primarily due to the focused ongoing efforts of people like you.
