This month’s special and more…
Yoga Immersion
with Todd
M/T/W/Th/F 6/7-6/25
Cost: $150-$225 sliding scale pre-registration required
Todd Williamson
This is the year for change.
The change is happening, and we’re all immersed in it – you’re immersed in it – Spending just a bit of time with others who, like you, are curious about, and more consciously choosing for – uncovering and discovering – something new – a new way of being – will afford you an ease now, during these times which otherwise may seem daunting and fraught with overwhelming challenges. In allowing yourself to be supported, you invariably align with, and tune into your Self, and so find yourself supported by the very change you felt at odds with… Open to the magic…
Read this excerpt from what current immersion students received prior to the first class:
“If you were to go to a new town, and have someone drive you around from place to place for a few weeks or months.. or even years… then suddenly one day they were not (t)here to drive you… would you know how to get where you are going? And the salient thing that is important here, with respect to this practice, is not to memorize a particular route… but rather to learn to feel how you navigate… and then start to practice those skills – this new found awareness- more and more of the time…. it simply entails a willingness, a gentle persistence, some measure of curiosity, and some courage…. these things you have now, and we’ll be practicing using these over the course of the next three weeks…. in order to re-awaken them, stretch them, lean into them bit by bit, until they feel ready to be used ‘out there’ in life”.
Some of the last immersion’s participants kindly allowed us to post their blogs here. The Yoga of Getting Unstuck.
And here Yoga Immersion, A Journey to Myself.
Please note: no drop ins during this immersion – participants must register for the whole immersion, though your schedule may not allow you to attend each and every session. Space limited to 14 immersers (not including your guides…who take up no space)
JRo is coming back!
June 2-9
JRo
Good News!
JRo has extended his stay till June 9th…there are some spots left still after June 5th.
JRo will be here in June, and he’ll have Clairvoyant reading and healing sessions available.
Ro came last year for a visit and before you know it he was all booked up. He’s getting booked this time too, so hurry up and call if you want a session w/him. He will be seeing clients at the studio (with the exception of one day possibly at our home).
From JRo:” Your body is energy and our lives reality based events. Learn how you occur right here right now as life. And learn how to change it, guide it and ultimately let go”.
Download a Flyer about JRo
Readings are $100 for at about 1.5-2 hrs (please bring cash)
to book a reading:

Yin Yoga
with Todd
Wed 7:15-8:45 pm
Cost: by donation
Yin Yoga
Todd will be teaching this drop in class permanently.
You can arrive like to any other classes, and either use your class card or pay a donation.
Come explore what Yin Yoga is all about. Whether you are new to yoga in general, or a seasoned yogi, this is a class you’ll get a lot from.
One of the interesting things about the yin approach is that it benefits the more active person (runner, biker, etc) as well as the less active person (couch potato).
Satsang Sarong…..
come and be embraced
with Todd
SAT 6/19 – 6-8 pm
Cost: FREE
Satsang Sarong
Satsang sarong is simply a time to come together. This evening includes a meditation, talk, sharing, questions. We’ll spend some time sitting together, perhaps in a guided meditation, perhaps in silence.
Once we’ve sufficiently woven the fabric of connection together to feel it (tuning in), we’ll spend some time being immersed in that energetic field, and share. There may be discussion, perhaps some sharing, and there’s time for questions and answers… it’s a time for us to explore a bit more this thing we do when we come together for class, and not be so busy with the poses.
Come just before 6, as we’ll do a meditation and would prefer no late comers. Namasté
A gift taken and shared:
four weeks, four classes for change
gift of yoga
Please give yourself this gift and by so doing give the gift of continued sustainability to OmBase.
Share the gift by helping to provide for the need. Read the blog post.
There will be a sign up sheet at the front desk, where you can put your name down each week and receive a free gift at the end of the 4 weeks!
Just a little incentive for you to come and participate!
Coming in JULY . . .
Intro to Yoga
w/Todd, Adriana, Stasia and Vittoria
7/6-7/27 every TUE 7:30-8:45 pm
Cost: $48/ Pre-registration required
Alana - Upward Facing Dog
Our last intro was very successful, so we’re having another one in July! Please let your friends know…
This class series is an introduction to Yoga for all beginners out there!
Basics of yoga, breathing, introduction to props, as well as individualized attention to what each student needs.
Lunar Yin series
with Emily
M/W/F 7-8:15 am
Cost: 90-$108 sliding scale. Pre-registration required. Sorry, no drop-ins.
Lunar Yin
This is a 3-week series offered the first 3 weeks of the month and meets M-W-F from 7:00-8:15am.
We typically spend 3-5 minutes in each supported pose, gently melting into the tight places and inviting them to unwind.
The benefits of this practice include increasing the range of motion in the joints, and improving the flow of energy through the meridians, resulting in a feeling of more “space” in the body and more overall vitality.
While we hang out in the poses, Emily will share her astrological insights about the current phase and sign of the Moon. Knowing where the Moon is helps us “go with the flow” instead of “pushing the river,” which is what this practice is all about!
Please email/call OmBase if you want to sign up for either of these events, or others. |
You can mail a check, sign up at the studio or sign up online.
For a PDF flyer on this series, go here.
Our lending library is online!
-
Lending Library
Thanks to Emily, Virgo organizer extraordinaire, she posted every book we have online, here.
You can check out books and videos the same way, by writing your name in the check-out binder at the studio, but now you also have the option of browsing our library online, read an excerpt of the book (via an Amazon link), post a comment, and more.
We’ll be adding reviews of the books in the next few weeks.
The other change is that we’ll be charging $1 x week for DVDs, as we need to replace them occasionally, and that will help.
Books will be due 3 weeks from check out date, DVDs only one week at a time.
You will get email reminders when your item is due.
Virtual shots of Om Base
We’ve posted some fabulous 360º shots of the studio on our website. You can scroll (slowly!) to see in every direction!
Thanks to Jeff Freeman for the photography!
Reviews needed!
Review Us!
We’d like to ask you to post a review as reviews really help other students decide whether or not come to visit us!
You can go to our contact us page, and click on the pop-up window that comes up over the map (click OmBase or Reviews). It’ll take you to a Google page link where you can post a review!
You can also go to Insider Pages here to post a review.
In addition, you can post on Yelp too here.
Thank you!
The Friday evening class is moving to a start time of 5:45-7 pm instead of 5:30. It will also become a donation class, so you can either use your class card or bring a cash donation (more is good, but less is fine too!)
If you missed the potluck, don’t worry, we’ll have more . . . here is a picture of the fabulous cake! We’re planning for a gathering at least every 3 months.
Please welcome 
Joseph Goldfedder will be giving a short intro about acupuncture after Todd’s yoga class on Sun Feb 22. After that he will be offering acupuncture as you lie on your yoga mat.
Out of the darkness comes the light, out of the stillness, the dance…

Yoga Immersion
with Todd
4/5-4/23 every weekday 6:30-8 am
Cost: $150-180 sliding scale/pre-registration
Todd Williamson
This is a chance to gather and practice three-five sessions a week. These healing immersions focus on healing and balance through visualization, meditation and yoga asanas. It’s easier to do this “work” around others who are making the same choices… so take advantage of the others’ presence (presents) and join in.
This is the year for change. (the year of the Tiger). The change is happening, and we’re all immersed in it – you’re immersed in it – Spending just a bit of time with others who, like you, are curious about, and more consciously choosing for – uncovering and discovering – something new – a new way of being – will afford you an ease now, during these times which otherwise may seem daunting and fraught with overwhelming challenges.
In allowing yourself to be supported, you invariably align with, and tune into your Self, and so find yourself supported by the very change you felt at odds with… Open to the magic…
You can find out more about Immersion here.
Please call OmBase, or email Todd/OmBase if you want to sign up.
Decision to hold immersion will be made several days prior to start date, so don’t wait till last moment to let us know!
