Look At What We Have Achieved!
A strong focus at Creating Space Yoga Studio is the encouragement of community and "doing our part and giving back". Although our students do come to CSY to practice their yoga and to discover new things about their own body and self; another consistent theme in the intentions of our practices also rests in the desire to reach out into our community to connect and help in small and big ways.
I am so proud of the CSY Community and what we have achieved together! Take a look at some of our work so far this year...

Friday, November 29, 2013 - “Restoring Hope & Healing” – A charitable restorative yoga class in memory of Robyn Pascaris led by Robyn Bowman
“As one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person” ~Paul Shane
This charitable class is offered as a result of a personal battle that was fought with courageous grace in my family. Sadly, our dear cousin who had been fighting for her life the past five years against a very aggressive form of cancer called Angiosarcoma, passed away on October 22, 2013. Please join me for a night of restoration and to send healing energy to all of those who continue to fight!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Restorative class and to those who so kindly donated simply out of the kindness in their heart. I am proud to tell you that we raised $300.oo for Angiosarcoma Awareness. They have received the donation already and I share their gratitude with you. Thank you! Thank you!
