Pop music overflows with odes to summertime. You could be a Beach Boys fan ("All Summer Long"), a Richard Marx diehard ("Endless Summer Nights"), a Don Henley aficiando ("Boys of Summer"), or maybe it's Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City" that cranks your engine.
We at The Yogi Tree love summertime, too -- and music is a HUGE part of making hot weather memories that last a lifetime. That's why we're offering two -- count 'em, TWO -- special live music performances in July: Saturday, July 11 is a 200-piece gong/percussion performance you won't believe unless you see it, and Thursday, July 16 is an acoustic rock performance that blends humor, funk, punk, and rock in an irresistable mix.
Steamy summer nights are also perfect for popcorn and air conditioning, so don't miss The Yogi Tree's spectacular July screening, the rarely seen 2012: Science or Superstition.
Then, of course, we're offering are best-in-town yoga classes, exclusive workshops, and other special events. All of the details are in this rich, creamy, low-cal newsletter, with a full class schedule available at www.theyogitree.com.
But here's the best news of all: take advantage of our SPECIAL SUMMER SAVINGS... Buy A YOGI TREE SUMMER PASS -- that's unlimited classes between July 1 and Labor Day -- for only $99. With nearly two-dozen classes on our schedule, that's about, uh, $2 a class. This is a limited-time offer: SUMMER PASSES must be purchased before July 17. Buy them online or stop by the studio. We can even process your order over the telephone: 818.760.0112.
Other special offers: First class is always FREE. First-time students can enjoy two weeks of unlimited yoga for only $40. If you are a Yogi Tree multi-class pass holder, bring a friend and receive an extra class on your pass. If your friend buys a multi-class pass that day, we'll add three classes to your pass. We're building community at The Yogi Tree, one friend at a time.
We are so very grateful for the friendships, old and new, we are enjoying at The Yogi Tree. It's been just three months since our doors have opened, and already a new community is born, one full of hope and love and promise. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!

EMOTIONAL CLEARING CEREMONY
Using Therapeutic Essential Oils
with Sophia Sharpe
SUNDAY, JULY 12 -- 1 - 4 pm |
Are you ready to let go and release what no longer serves you?
Join us as we dedicate this day to creating and performing a healing ceremony passed down from the temple of the Egyptian high priestess Isis. Isis is also known as the goddess of magic and alchemy.
According to Dr. Gary Young, a version of this ritual was performed to cleanse negative emotions and past life memories, to clear the pathways in preparation of new life energy in our daily life. In this class, you will have the opportunity to sense the power of intention, and the ability to create change while letting go and clearing your emotional, physical, and psychic space.
During the actual clearing process you will be in a relaxed meditative state, fully clothed, lasting about 2-3 hours as you are anointed with each of the sacred oils. Sophia Sharpe's intention is to help you create the space to release old emotions to be replaced by feelings of emotional security, peace and self empowerment
Please bring a snack. Blanket and pillow. Your journal and your intention for this ritual.
To Prepare: Write a single paragraph representing your intention for participation in this class. Bring it with you and be willing to share.
More on Young Living's Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils: These pure, potent plant remedies are uplifting, protective, calming, and regenerating -- a unique gift from the natural world. Often referred to as "nature's living energy" or the very essence of a plant, essential oils are aromatic liquids derived from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. They not only determine the plant's aroma, but are vital for plants to grow, live, evolve, and adapt. Essential oils also help defend plants from insects, environmental conditions, and disease. Today, research shows that when used aromatically, applied topically, or taken internally, essential oils can calm, energize, balance, purify, and rejuvenate the mind and body. From perfumes and aromatherapy to cooking and medicinal purposes, essential oils have been a vital part of everyday life, dating back to 4500 BC.
Instructor Sophie Sharpe is an accredited member of the International Society of Lymphology, an educator, yoga teacher, holistic practitioner, and modern-day Shaman who integrates the use of pure essential oils and hands-on therapy to bring transformational shifts within the mind, body, and spirit. She has studied extensively and internationally with Dr. Gary Young.

Special Screening:
2012: SCIENCE OR SUPERSTITION
Saturday, July 18 -- 7:30 pm |
 December 21, 2012: the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in Central America. Countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enthusiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse-the end of time-and those who see a coming renewal, a rebirth of consciousness. Adding fuel to the debate, some scientists see the increasing number of natural disasters in recent years as evidence of a catastrophic climax of events in 2012. How much of what we're hearing is science and how much is superstition? In this extraordinary, thought-provoking film, the leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it's important, and what we should expect. Featured in this feature-length documentary film are best-selling authors, scientists, mythologists, and spiritual leaders like Graham Hancock, John Major ( Maya Cosmogenesis 2012) Jenkins, Daniel ( 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl) Pinchbeck, Alberto Villoldo, Jim Marrs, Walter Cruttenden, Lawrence ( Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation into Civilization's End) Joseph, Douglas Rushkoff, and Benito Vegas Duran. Join us at The Yogi Tree for an unforgettable evening of cinema. Trailer: http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102625097294&s=206&e=001qeC8MntZw5CHzDDDC96oboHx5fGGN6otnNDPvtGjekf91ToYVagZ1ipqWsTHRPHOITJJ2TqviUNnEfepmCk8Sln29OqrZJEu-PZAtMemrxKooUmlTHC1u896jOgJRxvG
