Warm wishes to you during this holiday season.

I feel odd writing about the Deep of Winter as I bask in the tropical setting of Zihuatanejo, Mexico. However, I am here on vacation temporarily and soon I will be back in Seattle, donning my sweaters, coat, hat, scarf, mittens, wool socks, and boots.  Back in Seattle, I will look forward to drinking a hot steaming cup of tea midday, slipping under warm blankets at night, and taking cold brisk morning walks around Green Lake, admiring whatever winter scene unfolds before me.

But, I am here for yet another week. In this blog, you will see a few photos from Zihuatanejo. Tomorrow, I will write another blog post with more photos!

For now I want to tell you about a Challenge for the NEW YEAR. I am offering a 30-Day Yoga Challenge to kick off the New Year. This challenge will be offered both ONLINE (Facebook Livestream) and IN-STUDIO (Yoga By Fran Gallo 6869 Woodlawn Ave, NE, Suite 100  Seattle, WA 98115 in the Green Lake neighborhood).  TWO LEVELS offered daily (Gentle and All-Levels)

A January Challenge! January 2 – 31, 2023

Challenge yourself with this healthy start to the New Year! This 30-day In-Studio and Facebook Livestream Hatha Yoga Challenge is a great way to establish a wholesome and rewarding habit of incorporating yoga into your daily life.

To consider:

-Registering in-studio, but perhaps can’t make all the classes in person? No problem. You can simply log on to Facebook Livestream on any given day and do virtual yoga while it’s happening or do a recorded session later on from home.

-Online Yogis not able to do classes at 7am or at 8:30am PST? You can log on anytime during the day to do your yoga practice with a recorded session. Perfect for those who work in the morning or live in different time zones.
-Not able to or not interested in committing to the 30 days? No problem! Just log on and do your practice as you normally do. It’s not a problem. You will have more classes to choose from and can continue payments as you normally do.
AND YES! Fran’s Facebook Online classes will continue 4 days per week from February, throughout 2023 and beyond!

I hope the Deep of Winter Yoga Community will join me for the yoga challenge.  Start the New Year 2023 feeling your best!
