Finger Lakes Yoga Festival

This weekend I'll be teaching at the Finger Lakes Yoga Festival in Cortland, NY. Much like the Toronto Yoga Fest coming up, this gathering keeps it on the 100 mile (or way less) diet. This is its first year and I'm looking forward to participating as a teacher and student. 

The event goes from Friday through Sunday. If you're in the area, I would love to see you there! As far as I know, there are still tickets available for every day of the FLYF. I'll be teaching a gentle, restorative class. I figure that four-five yoga classes a day can be a bit much, and I wanted to put something highly chilled out in the mix. After my class, I'll hang out the rest of the day, check out a few classes and hang out at the resort. I'll let you know how it went!
