Dearest Prana Students and Teachers;

The time has arrived for us to take a different direction in conveying the spiritual teaching.

We are passing on the torch of the Prana Yoga and Zen Centre to Rachel Wainwright to take care of from this point onward. We will continue teaching at the Prana Yoga College locally and internationally and send out the new "Enigmus" newsletter. The newsletter is where you are all invited to participate in questions and thoughts to enhance the spiritual journey for you and everyone else who is on the road less traveled. We will continue our service in supporting people on the path by replying to questions via the blog: www.shaktimhi.com Also, to enhance our sense of community, we have created a forum for you to share your thoughts: www.pranayogacollege.com/forum

Please read Rachel's letter of introduction below and check out all the great classes and offers she will be providing from now on to Prana Centre yogis.

In the timeless flow of life, there are no beginnings and no endings...

With much love and gratitude for allowing us to serve you,

shakti and Daniel

Dear Prana Students and Teachers;

After 11 years, owners Shakti and Daniel will be passing over their beloved Prana Yoga Centre to pursue another business venture. As of March 1st, I, Rachel Wainwright, will be the proud new owner of Prana Yoga Centre.

It has always been a dream of mine to own a studio offering services I believe will improve the quality of one's life.

I am a professional dancer, certified pilates and yoga instructor. My main joy in life is to share and spread my passion for dance, pilates and yoga.

The schedule and teachers will stay the same with only a few changes, including a Pilates mat class, from March 1st to April 30th, 2008.

Check out the new incredible multi-pass options that will be available to purchase as of March 1st!

Starting May 1st more classes will be added. Classes will include a variety of yoga, pilates, and dance styles. Also, new teachers will be added to our current team of teachers.

Below is an example of what the schedule will be like starting around the beginning of May.

Prana Yoga will be closed for renovations from around April 21st to 30th 2008. To compensate exsisting members, we will put unlimited memberships on hold and give you 2 free extra weeks. Or, if you are a class cardholder we will give you a free 5-class card.

When the new and improved studio re-opens around the beginning of May, the new name will be "exhale studio."

Check out soon www.exhalestudio.com.

Exhale Studio will promote the importance of physical and emotional release through yoga, pilates, dance and other creative outlets. We hope to inspire people to better themselves, to enhance self-image, and self-confidence. Classes will give one a great workout, relieve stress, gain fulfillment, find a deep sense of peace, feel stimulated, and have fun.

Exhale Studio vision manifests in three ways. Firstly, by offering quality and valuable classes. Secondly, to be recognized as one of Vancouver's finest drop-in studios. Thirdly, be committed to our customer service and satisfaction.

I encourage feedback, I promise to listen and do my best to give my customers what they want. Please, email info@pranayoga.com, attention to Rachel and give your feedback. Let me know what you like and dislike about the studio, so I can do what I can to improve the business to meet your needs.

I am very excited about meeting and growing with you.

Thank you,

Rachel Wainwright
