Mark Stastny to teach the 8:15am Ashtanga class on Saturdays

We’re sad to see her go, but Beata will unfortunately no longer be teaching at PG. Mark Stastny, the new weekday Ashtanga instructor, will be taking over her Saturday morning class. He has frequently subbed for Beata in the past so many of her students have enjoyed his teaching before. If you’re an avid Ashtanga enthusiast or even a beginner, you will only progress with his extensive teaching experience. Please welcome Mark and become a part of his new classes throughout the week.

7am Tuesday & Thursday morning class to be canceled

            Another great instructor has decided to part ways with PG. Jeff Lang will no longer be teaching his Tuesday & Thursday morning Vinyasa class. Consequently, we will no longer be offering morning classes on these days after the month’s end. If you would like to continue with your morning yoga practice, please join us for Mark’s 7am classes on Mon. & Wed. mornings. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Mark has been practicing ashtanga yoga since 1992 and teaching since 1994. He has studied with Sri Pattabi Jois and senior teachers Richard Freeman, Tim Miller, David Williams and Danny Paradise. Mark’s classes are in the traditional form of ashtanga yoga sprinkled with modifications in the more challenging postures. Mark’s philosophy is to have fun, let go of ambition and ego, just move and breathe. The student has the rest of their lives to practice yoga.

You may have already seen Mark sub classes for a variety of instructors here at Belmont. He comes with a lot of teaching experience so please feel free to join his class whether you’re a beginning novice or an advanced yoga follower. You will find his classes challenging and yet calming as your mind is free to release all your stresses. What a great way to start your mornings bright and early! Please welcome Mark and become a part of his new classes on Mondays & Wednesdays.

Happy Fourth of July! Planet Granite will have shortened hours on July 4th, so we can all get outside and enjoy some quality time with friends and family.

Planet Granite Sunnyvale: No Yoga classes - shortened hours 8am - 6pm
Planet Granite Belmont: shortened hours 8am - 4pm

Thanks!

Now there are no excuses!  Friday’s Power class with Doris is moving to 6:45p to accommodate work schedules.  It will be 1hour 15 minutes long, ending at 8pm so everyone can still go out for a nice Friday evening. 

Come join Doris with our new class time on Friday nights at 6:30pm in Sunnyvale!  It’s the perfect time to drop your kids off at our Climb n Dine at 6pm, take an awesome yoga class that will help you relax and get ready for the wekend and still be ready in time to pick up your child at the end of Climb n Dine!

 Doris currently teaches two other classes, Monday and Wednesday at 6:30am and we’re very excited to include her in our evening schedule.  Read more about her and her passion for yoga on our Instructors page. 

Our sincerest apologies, but tomorrow’s class, Friday 5/30, at 5:45pm is cancelled. 

Next week we will be starting our Friday class at a new time!  6:30pm with Doris!  Thank you for understanding this late notice.

Please write comments for PG Sunnyvale on this blog as well - you can respond to any blog posted, and we will make sure it gets to the correct person. My name is Stephanie and I’m the PG Sunnyvale Gym Manager and also run the yoga program as well. I am always open to feedback and welcome suggestions for how we can make our PG Yoga programs the best!

Hi. I’m Lauren Sah (that’s my nephew in the pic!) and I’m taking over the Belmont yoga program. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi to everyone here. If you have any comments or feedback about our yoga classes please direct them to me and I’ll do what I can. Thank you so much!

It’s cherry season! mmm! We’re very excited to announce our new instructors for this weekend’s Sunnyvale classes!
