Jaya Jax Update

Hello Lovely Yoga Teachers!

Well it's been a while since we gathered. I know a lot of us have taken the opportunity to do some traveling so I thought we could wait a bit before planning our next gathering.

• I'd like to thank Terry at Mindful Motion Yoga again, for hosting last quarter's Jaya Jax Meeting.We discussed a lot of great ideas about our group.
• We are very open to feedback about the group and how we can make it more enjoyable when we do get together. Your ideas for fun events are important, too!!
• Heather Hixon : yogaheather@hotmail.com  (904)521-4845

• Let's plan to communicate on dates for our next meeting as well as ideas for how we can grow our yoga teachers community!
• Should we try a different day and time????
• We can possibly meet in September or October. 
• I do need someone to volunteer to host since my studio, Renaissance Healing Center in Jacksonville Beach is now closed, otherwise I would do it.
• Visit and Join our Yoga Site by clicking on the Jacksonville Yoga link on the Jaya Jax Blog.
• and/or share the blog with fellow yoga teachers by forwarding the blogsite address.

• Thanks so much for helping make Jacksonville an EVEN better Yoga Community!!!

P.S.

I am also putting together a Yoga and Wellness Retreat for January, I would LOVE for Jaya Jax to be one of the sponsoring communities for this event!!!
