just wanted to let you know that class is ON for today (feb. 2nd), at the caretakers house, as it's the first tuesday of the month. please let me know if you plan to make it & if you have any requests. the next class will be on the 3rd tuesday of the month, feb. 16th. (caretakers house class is on the 1st & 3rd tuesdays of the month.)

also, as a reminder, i'm teaching a new gentle hatha yoga class on saturdays from 12:45-2pm at the yoga loft, in a similar style as the tuesday night class. i'm excited to finally teach on a weekend for those who can't make the tuesday night time, or for those who might want to add a second class.

friday i'm teaching restorative yoga as usual each week from 11-12:30 at the yoga loft. details are below. it's a great way to end the week & begin the weekend, clear away some stress & refresh the soul.

if any of those times fit your schedules, it would be great to see you there! both of the yoga loft classes are $10.

passing this on from Ezra! go to the show tonight if you can!! & even if you can't go, there are some good links below where you can donate.
please pass it on.
..............

Hello Good People,

Tonight, Monday January 25th there will be a benefit to raise funds for Haiti at El Rio between 8-9:30.

I will be playing with my good friend Ofir Uziel as we dust off our organ drum duo project Here's Rusty at 8 sharp.

The awesome SF Balkan brass band Brass Menazeri will also be playing along with some MC's and spoken word artists.

Come show your love and support both spiritually and materially for the people enduring this great tragedy.

El Rio is on Mission St. @ Valencia.

Also below you will find an insightful and informative article that puts into current and historical perspective some of the economic and colonialist US practices over the last century that are responsible for magnifying the loss that's been occurring in Haiti in the face of this earthquake.

Hope to see you there!

Love,

Ezra

P.S. Also if you can't make it but still would like to contribute here are two great organizations to donate to. Every little bit helps!
