Namaste!

Dear Students/Friends,

It saddens us to inform you, our cherished Rancho San Diego Yoga Center yoga family, that we must close the doors to the center as of December 31, 2006. Many forces came together to necessitate this closure. The steady increase in rental and insurance fees, as well as sudden personal conflicts all played a part in this decision. Please know that we did not come to this conclusion without serious deliberation or without consideration for you, our loyal students. We recognize how difficult this will be on many of you, as it is for us. However, at this point in time, it is the most appropriate alternative and we will do what we can to help you continue your yoga practice. Our priority has always been to serve our beloved students and promote the benefits of yoga, so although RSDYoga is closing, we feel blessed to consider our efforts mostly successful.
In an effort to help you continue your yoga practice, we have looked into, and continue to look for options you may chose to follow in 2007:

• Diane is available for private sessions and is currently looking for rental space for small group sessions – please feel free to contact her at diambrosini@yahoo.com;
• We are negotiating with some of the other East County studios for a price break during an introductory period in their studios. We will keep you informed of those sites and negotiations as they unfold;
• Kathy Lee’s “Yoga Buffet” class at Café India on Wednesdays 5:30-6:30pm is also an option. Her YogaWell.com site is scheduled to be re-launched very soon, and you can also email her at k.lee@yogawell.com for more information. There is also a possibility that she will expand her Mission Valley office to open a yoga center there. Stay Tuned! ;
• Anne Joseph is also available for private yoga therapy sessions at YogaWell’s clinic in Mission Valley, (off the 8 freeway - at the Texas Street exit), and she can be contacted at sandiegopalms@aol.com.
• We plan to keep any and all updates posted on the rsdyoga.net site, so please check back often.

For students enrolled in YogaWell’s Institute of Progressive Therapies Yoga Teacher Training Programs who still have contact hours to complete, rest assured you will be taken care of! There may be a brief interruption however…as one door closes another opens. Thus we are hoping the Mission Valley office expansion will be secured as early as the end of January. If not in Mission Valley, another space will be found soon for sessions and workshops to resume. If need be, a generous extension in the program can be depended upon. Meanwhile, you can work on your packet homework, attend classes at Café India, and continue with your personal practice.
We would like all of you to know how truly grateful and honored we are that you have allowed us to help guide you, thus far, on your inward journey through yoga. You have touched our hearts profoundly, and we thank you most sincerely for your trust and support.

Wishing you much Peace. Namaste, Om Shanti,

Kathy Lee Kappmeier
