Spring training in full swing? Save yourself the grief of being sidelined by injury—join us on Sundays for an hour of Jasyoga Athletica for injury prevention and recovery. You’ll learn techniques to restore and maintain balance—because if you don’t recover properly from the workouts (and overall workload) of your week, you won’t perform your best, and you’ll be more likely to get injured. Need we say more? Class is appropriate for all levels.

Jasyoga Athletica has already embraced by the University of Washington sports teams, competitive and recreational runners, NBA basketball players, bike commuters—athletes and active people of all sports and levels. Come hit the reset button with us and see for yourself.

New from LUNA

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Erin Taylor

We’re excited to announce that our friends at LUNA Bar have just launched a new flavor—Peanut Honey Pretzel. I recently tried the latest addition to LUNA’s tasty collection between Jasyoga classes. Put it this way—I got my sweet and salty fix. It definitely helped me hit the reset button. Remember, proper nutrition is just as important to athletic recovery as putting your legs up the wall. What does that mean? Come find out at Sunday Jasyoga Athletica, where we always finish practice with LUNA.

In the meantime check out lunabar.com to learn more about Peanut Honey Pretzel and other cool (and tasty!) new LUNA initiatives.

jasyoga joins nike+ run club

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Erin Taylor

Jasyoga is pleased to announce a new partnership with Nike+ Run Club!

Nike loves running and Jasyoga loves yoga. Since yoga will help make you a better runner, sounds like a match made in heaven to us.

Lace up your trainers this fall and head to Niketown Seattle on Tuesdays at 6pm. Jasyoga will be in the house on the second Tuesday of the month to lead pre-run Jasyoga Athletica, helping get you set to kick up some dust (okay, maybe kick up some rain)—

  • October 11
  • November 15
  • December 13

Pre-run Jasyoga Athletica is 6 – 6:20pm, then we’ll hit the road.

Run Cub is for everyone—Routes range from a 2-mile power run to a long 8-miler around Lake Union. There’s no better way to hit the pavement on a gray Seattle eve than with the support of Nike’s pacers and local fellow runners, and no better way to take your running to another level.

Namaste

guest blog—the power of grrl-made media

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Erin Taylor

By Sara Stogner, Reel Grrls

Reel Grrls is thrilled to be partnering with LUNAFEST as a beneficiary along with the Breast Cancer Fund. LUNAFEST is wonderful experience for us to be involved in as a festival that celebrates the work of women in film. It is exactly the type of support we like to offer the young women filmmakers in our programs. Reel Grrls provides out-of-school, year-round media programs catered for girls 9 to 19 years old. Through these opportunities, we are placing more and more girls behind and in front of the camera. In the last 10 years, we have served over 1,000 girls from diverse backgrounds. Many of our participants identify as low-income, homeless or in foster care, or belonging to an ethnic minority group. Our intention is to bring these teens from widely different backgrounds together in a common environment to create media in their own voice.

Check this out this clip about us:

Reel Grrls is not just a drop-in computer lab. We offer hands-on, project-based learning that teams girls with experienced women filmmakers. From instructional workshops, internships, and professional experience creating content for clients, the participants in our programs experience a wide spectrum of the media industry. Most importantly, the young women filmmakers are creating films about issues crucial to them. Films like “Thoughts in a Hijab,” where Reel Grrls filmmaker Sahar Shakeri tells her personal story of choosing to wear the hijab even after moving to the U.S. from Iran. This is the type of story that is empowered by placing a camera in the hands of a female filmmaker.

Reel Grrls is now growing faster than ever. As we reach more and more girls in the Seattle area, it is amazing to not only see the projects they create, but to see the confidence, leadership, and creative voice that is acquired from being behind and in front of the camera. One participant in the 2011 Summer Apprenticeship program said, “Reel Grrls is an awesome ‘girls only’ club that gives you self esteem about being a lady!” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

To learn more about Reel Grrls and the programs we offer, please visit http://www.reelgrrls.org/programs.

If you would like to help support the next generation of women filmmakers, you can donate to Reel Grrls at http://www.reelgrrls.org/donate.

And finally, join us and Jasyoga at LUNAFEST in Seattle on October 6.
