Dear friends & fellow practitioners,

I hope this newsletter finds you well and for those living in Telluride, I hope you are enjoying the slower pace of life and desert trips on the weekends.

My time in Costa Rica was magical and the retreats were a huge success. If you are thinking of joining Christine, Pascale and myself in 2023, pop over to www.ashtangamontauk.com and reserve your spot as these retreats tend to sell out quickly.

I am so excited to share amazing offerings with you this month:
As of today, we have weekly Mysore and Led Ashtanga classes on the schedule. Find me Mondays + Wednesdays at Practice Telluride. Details and class descriptions can be found on the AYT website.

In the middle of May, I hope you can join me for a weeklong Spring Detox. We will meet for class on May 12 at 5:30pm at Practice, where you will receive information on why a detox is so beneficial for our health and well-being. I will share practice and lifestyle tips with you, you will receive a detailed meal plan, recipes for a week of detoxing, and much more. The community detox begins Monday, May 16th. I highly recommend signing up ASAP to receive the shopping list as some items will have to be ordered online.

CATERED OPTION: For the very first time, I will be offering catered meals for a limited amount of people who would like to cleanse with me but don’t have time to cook. So reserve your spot quickly before it sells out and get yummy, home-cooked, nourishing meals delivered to your door (Town of Telluride ONLY). Details, price options and information can be found below on the AYT website.

I am so excited to share these offerings with you and I hope you are able to join me on one, some or all of them. Looking back at the past couple of years, I think what is becoming more and more apparent is that we need to take care of ourselves and that humans thrive in community. So let’s take the opportunity to connect and uplift each other.

With love,
Babsi X

Upcoming Specialty Classes & Workshops

A SPRING DETOX: MAY 12, 5:30pm at Practice
Get your system dialed for Spring & Summer

As we transition into the warmer seasons, boost your energy with a spring detox. When the wind starts to blow here in town it is not only time to clean your house, but to do the same for your body and mind. Toxins tend to accumulate year-round but especially during the winter season, which is particularly long here in Telluride. Such a build-up can eventually cause health problems and a simple, easy-to-follow, spring detox is a wonderful opportunity to give your body the little bit of extra boost it needs.

We will gather for a specialty class on Thursday, May 12 from 5:30-7pm to discuss seasonal changes and their impact on our system, touch on appropriate food, diet, and lifestyle routines, and we will explore practices off and on the mat that will support your health and well-being. You will receive a detailed program for a weeklong detox including a meal plan, detailed recipes for three meals per day, and lifestyle and practice recommendations.

Discounted Glânz Ghee (made in Telluride) will be available for purchase on May 12 for participants.

COST: $50
