Cincinnati Tumblr Meetup

Details:

Where is it and what time? 8pm at Oakley Playground Tuesday August 3. There is a parking lot. Here is a link to google maps:

We’re going to do our little improptu meetup on the tennis courts or possibly the shelter. But plan on the tennis courts.

Who am I? I am Cole and I’ll be leading this session. I’ve had more than 500 hours of yoga instruction and will be receiving my 200-hour level Registered Yoga Teacher license in a few months.

What are we doing? We’re going to do certain yoga poses that will open up each of the seven major chakras. We’re going to do a traditional sanskrit chakra meditation and I’m going to give an energy reading to each of you using either a crystal or mulberry wood.

Music and candles will be provided.

What should I bring? Bring a mat (or a towel or blanket) and comfortable clothes. We don’t wear shoes when we do yoga. You’ll probably be comfy in sweatpants or leggings and a snug tank top maybe with a jacket or looser long-sleeve shirt over top. Water is a good thing to bring.

How much does it cost? Free!

Who should I contact to RSVP: Cole
email cole@coleimperi.com

RSVP is required. I will announce a cancelation via Tumblr if we can’t get the min. of 4 people I’d like.

I am hosting a chakra yoga/meditation/session this week.

Will start with an energy reading on each person using either a crystal or mulberry wood.

Some simple yoga to help align and ground you, and to open and heal the chakras (energy centers) and then a Sanskrit chakra meditation to get energy blockages out and flowing freely.

Either tuesday or Thursday night In Cincinnati, probably Oakley park in the shelter on Paxton rd.

Free

I am thinking at duskish. Mood will be set with music, candles and all the fixins. Maybe 8 pm or so.

I promise a powerful experience. You’ll learn energy techniques too! You’ll go home and feel ‘cleared out.’

Tumblr peeps have first dibs! Reply to this post, message me or email cole at coleimperi.com with preferred evening and if 8ish is good or not.

This past Sunday, Tumblrs met up for a yoga session geared towards bloggers. This inaugural practice was beautiful. It was a balmy 60 degrees, the sun was shining and there was a soft breeze. Our yoga practice took place on the amphitheater stage at the Blue Ash Nature Park.

Yoga began at 10am and ran until nearly 11am. Cole Imperi led Tumblrs through super-fun and rewarding poses like Warrior I, Crow and Forward Fold. The practice was meant to be a well-rounded introduction to yoga that would allow students to take things with them ‘off the mat,’ like breathing techniques and certain poses.

After yoga, we went to Marx Bagels in Blue Ash to chit chat and eat.

Guess what! Cole will be offering FREE yoga on a monthly basis called Yoga For Bloggers. Are you a blogger? Are you interested? Send info@coleimperi.com an email to be added to the email list.

As of now, classes will be offered at the Blue Ash Nature Park. More details soon!

We’re heading up now. IT will be a beautiful, awesome day for an outdoor practice.

 Promise!

See you soon!

Can’t wait to see you guys in the AM!

Remember, Blue Ash Nature Park, 9:30 am-9:45am arrive.

yoga starts at 10.

I’VE NEVER DONE YOGA BEFORE, SO SHOULD I COME?
Yes, you should. The practice we’ll be doing will have options for brand-news, beginners and intermediates. It will not be a sweat-your-brains out practice, but one meant to restore vigor, focus and make you feel good all over.

WHAT IF IT RAINS?
If it rains, it’s still on. We’re meeting at the amphitheatre, which has a roof, or move to another shelter nearby.

WILL I GET FREE STUFF?
Yes, Tumblr HQ sent me an envelope with cool stuff like official Tumblr stickers.

WAIT, THERE’S NO ALCOHOL?
No, no alcohol. This is a bit of a departure from a traditional Tumblr meetup. However, if you come, everyone will likely be making plans for later on.

I’M AFRAID TO DO YOGA BECAUSE I MIGHT LOOK STUPID
You won’t. And that is a silly reason to not try something new. Unlike other sports, yoga is only about inner competition, not competition with other people. Consider your fear of looking stupid part of your yoga practice—can you overcome it?

WHERE IS THE MEETUP?
It’s at the Blue Ash Nature Park on the corner of Reed Hartman Hwy. and Cooper Rd. in Blue Ash. It’s behind the Blue Ash Rec. Center

WHAT SHOULD I BRING/WEAR?
Wear comfortable clothes. I usually wear running pants or capri-length workout pants with a snug tank top or shirt. I find that loose tops are annoying in many of the poses. You can also wear a jacket. You’ll be doing yoga barefoot. You should also bring a mat or towel and water.

The Tumblr swag from Tumblr HQ arrived safe and sound this afternoon for our Tumblr meetup on Sunday, April 25th!

Can’t wait!

On April 25th, 2010——magic will happen.
