PeaceLab Yoga celebrates Grandville grand opening today
Posted: October 27, 2012 at 6:48 am
GRANDVILLE, MI -- PeaceLab Yoga, which opened in Grandville in May, is having a grand opening celebration on Friday, Oct. 26.
The open-house style celebration is from 4:30 - 9 p.m. at the studio, 5570 Wilson St., in the South Wilson Center behind Swansons in Grandville.
There will be a ribbon cutting, as well as refreshments and hors doeuvres and raffle prizes.
Melanie McQuown, who owns the studio with her husband, Jim, said PeaceLab Yoga is about finding the peace between life, body and soul.
You can uncover how you connect with your mind, body and soul and have peace in the process, she said.
Melanie McQuown has been practicing yoga for 15 years, and instructing for seven years. She has taught yoga at various studios in the greater Grand Rapids area, including the Visser YMCA, downtown Grand Rapids YMCA and other area gyms.
PeaceLab Yoga initially leased its 2,700-square-foot space from the nearby Party Creations store when it opened in May. The store recently closed its doors and PeaceLab Yoga took over the lease earlier this month and remodeled the space.
The yoga studio is open seven days a week, offering 19 classes that range from beginner classes to more advanced levels. Classes are either lab-based, which are more focused on teaching, or flow-focused, where there is more movement, McQuown said. If you just want to learn how to do yoga, we have classes that will teach you the basics, then if you want to do a little more, and sweat a little more, we have flow classes, she said. Everyone is welcome.
Along with advanced and beginning classes each week, PeaceLab offers Yoga 101 every month to new students. It is a two-hour workshop that introduces students who are new to yoga. After the workshop, students receive two weeks of unlimited yoga to help get their practice started. In addition to group classes, private and semi-private instruction, corporate classes and fundraisers are also offered.
The yoga studio also offers non-yoga classes, such as hula hooping and Zumba. For yogi enthusiasts the studio will also offer specialty workshops with internationally-recognized instructors, including Christina Sell who will visit the studio in February.

The Best Yoga Artwork for Your Home or Studio
Posted: at 6:48 am
Rather you are a yoga instructor or a student, you will be sure to appreciate asanas (poses) to mount on your wall. Artwork is inspiring and stimulates the senses, making it a winsome way to decorate your home or studio to set the mood for your yoga practice. I will showcase my top picks and give information on the the yoga poses portrayed.
#1 "I Will Be Brave, I Will Grow" and "Do Not pull on the roots. You may hurt the purple turtle." By: Marlene Koenig
These two whimsical paintings by Marlene Koenig are engaging to look at. Both paintings depict the Shoulder-Pressing Pose done atop a turtle. These two paintings are creative, colorful and complex. These eye popping paintings should inspire anyone to want to do the Shoulder-Pressing Pose. Perhaps not on a turtle's shell but rather on a yoga mat.
#2 Yoga Impressions series by Robert Sturman
All of Sturman's artwork is amazing, but I appreciate the Yoga Impressions series above the others. My favorite pieces from this series include the following:
Shadow Man
This painting stands out because the shadow makes the colors seem more vibrant. In addition, this pose is amazing because it is a handstand variation with the feet touching one another in the air, creating a Handstand Butterfly Pose in one. This asana seems to be a more accurate portrayal of a flying butterfly.
Nature Tree Pose
The colors in this painting charmingly contrast one another with hues of orange and blue which are opposite each other on the color wheel. By performing the tree pose next to an actual trunk it as though the girl is becoming one with nature.
#3 Rainbow 4 by Dr. John Super

Yoga in public schools latest test of free speech
Posted: at 6:48 am
Should yoga sessions in public schools be subject to the same restrictions as religious ceremonies? A group of 60 Southern California parents thinks sothey want to pull yoga out of their school districts curriculum.
Yoga_Class_at_a_Gym4The yoga controversy is the latest twist on the contentious issue of anything having to do with religion in schools funded by taxpayer dollars.
In this case, a lawyer for the parents says yoga has ties to Hinduism and that there is no place for it in the Encinitas Union School District.
Theres a deep concern that the Encinitas Union School District is using taxpayer resources to promote Ashtanga yoga and Hinduism, a religion system of beliefs and practices, their attorney, Dean Broyles, told the North County Times, a regional newspaper.
The district has classes in nine schools and is reportedly set to receive a $500,000 grant from an Ashtanga yoga institute to expand the classes. Its superintendent has said he doesnt plan to stop the classes.
Broyles told ABC News that Ashtanga yoga is indeed a religious practice.
The poses and positions are acknowledged by Ashtanga and Hindi yoga as forms of worship and prayers to Hindu deities, he told ABC. They have a spiritual and religious meaning behind them.
Broyles said after doing his own research, hes convinced Ashtanga yoga in public schools is a constitutional issue.
We think that children are being used as guinea pigs, he told ABC. It would be like a charismatic Christian organization funding classes in worship and praise.
The yoga controversy comes after two other high-profile cases about religious expression at publicly funded schools.

Malik wants coaching job

DISGRACED former Pakistan captain Salim Malik has applied for the job of his country's batting coach.
Malik insists he is not barred after a court lifted his life ban four years ago.
Malik, 49, was banned by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in 2000 after a judicial inquiry conducted by Justice Malik Mohammad Qayyum found him guilty of offering bribes to Australian players to lose.
Australian trio Shane Warne, Tim May and Mark Waugh alleged Malik offered them huge sums to underperform during their team's tour to Pakistan in 1994.
Malik, who always pleaded his innocence, was also named in an inquiry conducted by India's Central Bureau of Investigation, which led to life bans on their captain Mohammad Azharuddin and Ajay Sharma.
The ban on Malik was lifted by a court in Lahore in October 2008, but the decision has not been endorsed by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which reportedly blocked his appointment to the PCB academy in Lahore in 2008.
Malik, a stylish batsman in his day, now claims that he is cleared of all fixing charges.
"I am cleared and my life ban was lifted four years ago," Malik told reporters after submitting his application with the PCB.
"I am cleared by the PCB and the ICC so I can now be involved in any cricket related activity."
