Big Changes for the Mysore Program
Hi gang! Thank you for reading our very rare newsletter. The biggest news this month is that our Mysore Program, led by Jade Skinner, is becoming a semi-independent entity within The BE. Those of you who have practiced in the Mysore room know that these classes are different from our led group classes. Every morning, Jade is here early and stays long, getting to know each student and providing individualized intruction. The Mysore Program has grown over the past four years, the room is often full now, and it's time to bring our pricing in line with other programs around the world. In short: Mysore will now have its own fee structure and regular BE pricing options will not cover Mysore classes.
Need to Know
If you have a current unlimited autodebit membership, you may switch to the Mysore monthly membership at a discounted rate if you do so BEFORE APRIL 1. If you have a current annual membership, you may continue to practice Mysore until your year is up. The new prices for Mysore are as follows:
- Autodebit Monthly Unlimited: $108/month
- Annual Unlimited: $1050
- 5 class pass: $90
- 10 class pass: $170
- Drop-in class: $20
Mysore memberships include all regular BE group classes.
"I love the Mysore program - Jade is a gem. There are very few things in life I enthusiastically can get up for at 5am; Jade's classes are one of them. She has a way of making me want to be better each and every day...very few people possess the ability to inspire that in others."

It's Greg Nardi Weekend at The BE
Greg Nardi returns to The BE for a weekend of lecture, philosophy, and deep practice. The founder of Ashtanga Yoga Worldwide, Greg has spent years of dedicated practice under the guidance of Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. In 2003, he was given authorization to teach from Pattabhi Jois, and in 2009, he completed a level 2 authorization course from Sharath Jois.

In Brief
In April, our Prenatal class will move to Thursdays at 5:30pm, and will be taught by Jennifer Rose. We heard that the pregnant ladies get tired early in the evening :). The Yogi Gnomes now teach three early-bird Power Hours every week, on M/W/F from 6:30-7:30am. Yes, we do have showers! Parking is not going to get any easier. Please be a respectful and law-abiding driver, arrive early, and always walk, bicycle, skate, or carpool when you can. If you haven't joined our Perkville Rewards program, you're missing out on free goods and services you earn just by coming to class! SUP Season starts in April! Dani Mae and newcomer Denise Highshaw will lead classes out on the beautiful waters of Sunset Beach, every Friday and Sunday morning. Our recent class additions have been pretty popular! Check out Dr. Lance Robbins' Foam Rolling class, and Ashley Smith's Friday Meditation. On Mondays, we added Danielle Collinsworth's Flow Down, Yin with Tiffany Cantrell and Dani Mae, and Half Primary with Lindsay Cross.
Looking Ahead: On March 25, Alexis Holland and DJ MENSCHA bring Ecstatic Dance to The BE! The next day, March 26, Rachel Miller is leading an all-day Sequencing and Teacher Refresher course. Andre Sur leads a 2-part Handstand workshop, April 1 and 8, for beginners to advanced handstanders. The BE Book Club is full, but there are spots on the waitlist! The next book is Daring Greatly, by Brené Brown. Our Yoga Wheel workshop is sold out, and we will put another on the schedule soon. If you are interested in Clothing Optional Yoga for Women, you'll need to register immediately for April 24, as there are only a few spots left. If you want to keep abreast of all BE happenings, please subscribe to our Facebook Events.
