A Message from Shoshana on What’s to Come

Hi Everyone,

This is just a quick note on two things that we’ll be introducing at the beginning of March.

1. The first is an MVe™ Chair/Mat class. The MVe chair is from Peak Pilates and it’s awesome. Basically, an MVe chair is a re-imagined Pilates Wunda chair. The exercises for the MVe™ Chair focus on core strength, leg strength, the shoulder girdle mobility and strength, and functional movements such as standing, climbing, pushing and lifting. That’s why exercising on the MVe Chair is a great form of cross-training for triathletes, bicyclists, skiers, runners, rock climbers, tennis players, golfers, basketball, and soccer or football players. It is for both men and women.

2. We’re nearing the completion of a build out on a new yoga studio. It will be in the building across the parking lot from JoyMoves (which my husband and I own). This new studio will be about 1,000 square feet in size and will hold 25-30 yoga students. It’s existence will not only allow us to offer more yoga classes, but also more Nia and Pilates mat (and MVe Chair) classes in the main studio. Also exciting is that it will have a full yoga rope wall setup.

More on these in the next newsletter.

Blessings, Shoshana

Yoga Threads Trunk Show – Feb 9, 10, 16 & 17

Yoga Threads uses a special blend of 90% Meryl/Nylon and 10% Spandex. This blend makes our fabric have a lighter feel and better ability to breathe than those of 86% to 14% Spandex blends. Also, it has outstanding absorption and wicking abilities – further ensuring comfort during athletic activities. Our fabric does not have the tendency to “smell” like those made of polyester and/or cotton blends.

Yoga Threads products are 100% made with love in the USA!! Our styles include: shorts, capris, and tops. All of which are comfortable and stylish. The colors are black, brown, eggplant, and sky blue.

The owner of Yoga Threads, Kelly Anderson, graduated from the University of Texas with fashion merchandising in 2001. After graduating college, she soon fell in love with yoga and became a certified Bikram yoga instructor. She’s been designing and selling yoga clothes since 1996.

Kelly will be displaying and selling her Yoga Threads clothing in the lobby of JoyMoves on the weekends of Feb 9th & 10th, and 16th & 17th. She is set up to take payments by cash and check only.
