Fall's here: celebration, yoga, retreat, boxing

[Emily Kramer]

Hello community

I hope this finds you well as the season transitions - and quickly at that! A little rundown of the latest from my corner of reality. 

THIRD ROOT ANNIVERSARY GALA!

At the end of this month on Sept 28th, Third Root is hosting an elegant anniversary gala, Let It Grow: Third Root Celebrates 5 - it will be a real coming out party for our cooperative featuring delicious food, an awards ceremony, dance performance, hip hop yoga and a DJ'd dance party. It would mean the world to me to see your shining faces at this monumental celebration. See pasted content at the end of this email for more details. 

YOGA

I offer private sessions (both yoga & boxing) at your home or mine, as well as at Third Root by appointment.

QUEER & TRANS YOGA RETREAT

In late October, I'm embarking on my first ever yoga retreat with my dear colleague, Jacoby Ballard. It will be held upstate at the gorgeous Waterfall House, full of practice, nature and community. It's is the first Queer & Trans Yoga Retreat that we're aware of. See the link for details, just a few spots left - sign up quick if you are interested!

BOXING

Many of you have inquired about a fall Spirit Boxing schedule.  I will be offering an open level workshop on Wednesday evenings starting in Oct - exact dates TDB. If you are interested in a fall 2013 intro level series, or private, semi-private (small group) classes, contact me directly spiritbox...@gmail.com. 

I hope to see you all as we begin this new year together

Eat good apples, breathe deep and wear a scarf  ;)

Let It Grow: Third Root Celebrates 5 Anniversary Gala : Sept 28, 2013 7 - 11pm Irondale Ensemble Project Brooklyn $25, $50, $75, $100 (limited # of low-fee tickets available) On August 25th, 2008... Third Root Community Health Center opened its doors at 380 Marlborough Road after 7 months of renovations, visioning, business planning, website building, and more. When we opened, we had 2 yoga classes per day, two volunteers, and 7 of us who owned the space, showing up so many days in a row just waiting for clients and students to show up. There were many slow days of 1-2 clients, or classes with 3 or fewer students. And there has always been love, which Eisa Davis termed our "Active Ingredient". On August 25th, 2013... We celebrate 5 years of not only opening our doors during the economic crash of 2008, not only surviving as a business in New York City for five years, but five years of building community, serving clients, contributing to national conversations around the role of healing in our communities and justice movements. There is a lot to celebrate, so go ahead and get your ticket!    Third Root's Just Wellness Awards honor ...       Dr. Alondra Nelson and Featuring Performance, Speakers & Food ...  Maura Bairley presents CAE        &      Elizabeth Alexander presents Dr.Nelson   Hip Hop Yoga, Live DJ & Dancing           We look forward to sharing this sacred evening with you.  Love and Gratitude,  Third Root Collective: Angela, Emily, Geleni, Jacoby, Jomo, Julia, Makeba, Roopa, Sherley & Stephen Since 2008... We have started a successful Herbal Education Program, contributing to more healers in our communities.      We have launched a non-profit branch, TREE, which enables us to continue the healing justice work while enhancing our collective financial sustainability!      We have created community here in Ditmas Park and Flatbush, we have clients come from Bed-Stuy and Harlem, and we have helped other health centers start up around the country!    Come celebrate what Third Root has meant to you (so we've heard):  the acupuncture treatment when you couldn't turn your stiff neck   the prenatal massage that moved things along in the final hours the surgery kits for your beloved trans friends having surgery   the Gentle yoga classes that allow you to come in your body as it is   the Abundant Body yoga class that was brought back onto our yoga schedule by popular demand Third Root Community Health Center: Neighborhood Beat Flatbush Quick Links FAQs Contact   Stay Connected
