Pssst! Have you heard? Now you can practice at the newest Sunstone Yoga studios:

· Sterling Gardens in Houston, Texas
· Eldorado Crossings in McKinney, Texas
· Southlake Village in Southlake, Texas

They are the latest in the lineage of Sunstone Yoga. Nine studios are now open to the public. Take advantage of the fact that you can practice at any Sunstone Yoga location and be one of the first to see what the new studios have to offer.

If you know anyone in Houston, McKinney or Southlake, forward this email to them so they are in the loop, too.

And don't forget to visit the recently opened Centre at Preston Ridge in Frisco, Texas and The Pines at Flower Mound in Flower Mound, Texas.

Our 8,000 sq. ft, world class, state of the art, larger than life, super duper teacher training facility is under construction and nearing completion in Addison. We intend to launch the facility in time for the next 200 and 500 Hour Intensive, beginning April 13.

Hollywood is callin' all Sunstone Yoga yogis, or is it yogins, or is it yogurts? Anyway, it's not American Idol, but you could be on TV. "Eye on America", hosted by Greg Gumbel, is producing a series on "Best Franchises of the 21st Century" and has identified Sunstone Yoga as one of the hottest franchising opportunities in the country. They'll produce a feature segment on Sunstone Yoga and will film a special Fire Class at Centre at Preston Ridge.

This is the invitation for all our friends - young and old, male and female, to strike a pose with us on Monday, March 24 at 3:30 or 5:30 p.m. Mark your calendar now so you don't forget and later, we'll announce the air date so you can tell all your friends. Be sure to let them know the fame won't change you.

Our teachers enjoy teaching when there is only one student in the class or if students are bumping elbows. There's a great energy created when a large group practices together and everyone benefits from the discipline and joy yoga brings to each of us.

We are all in the room to create a better version of ourselves so if you are in the front two rows of a well attended class, please check to make sure you are allowing students behind you a space to see their practice in the front mirrors.

We are all in this together, every breath we take we are sharing it with every individual in the room, every thought we have we are sharing it with the person beside us, let's keep happy positive thoughts not just for yourself but the person beside you.

Sunstone Yoga doesn't have a front row policy. It can be very beneficial to practice all over the room; even the places you are uncomfortable. In time you will be comfortable practicing anywhere in the room. This may have the added benefit of relating to overcoming discomforts outside the yoga room.

If being on the front row becomes an attachment for a student then their practice is pretty fragile. All it would take is a day when they were not on the front row (for whatever reason) to throw them off. A strong student is not just a student who can hold all the postures the full time on the front row. A strong student is a student who can maintain their composure regardless of the circumstances. This takes physical, mental and emotional strength.
