The Yoga Place Waco Update

Hi Everyone,

Due to a variety of changes in my personal life, (I'm spending more and more time in Austin and in January I will start a new job at Baylor which has significantly more responsibilities and demands on my time) , I've decided to stop teaching public classes in Waco.

I am still available to teaching private lessons to individuals or small groups of students at the rate of $80.00 an hour.

I do teach two public classes a week at YogaYoga in Austin. Saturday mornings at 9 at their South Studio and Saturday afternoons at 12:30 at their new 360 studio. So if you find yourself in Austin on the weekends, I'd love to have you in class.

If you are looking for public classes in Waco, contact Thomas Marvin at yesyoga4U@msn.com.


Thank you so much for all your support over the years.

George Purvis Workshop

Ya'll, go to this if you at all can. George is great !!!!! A great first workshop experience.





Clear Spring Studio and Austin Yoga School heartily welcome George Purvis, Texas’s own Free Range Yogi, to Austin. George's teaching draws from an exceptional personal practice as well as his study with B.K.S. Iyengar in India. In demand for workshops all over the country, his gentle manner and strong sense of humor encourage students of all ages and abilities to achieve excellence and insight. George holds the highest Iyengar certification level in Texas.

SCHEDULE Note: All classes are for all levels of student with experience of the Iyengar method. If you have physical limitations or medical conditions, please ask Peggy or Devon if attendance will be appropriate for you.
Another Note: you are strongly encouraged to attend both classes; there is a method and progression to the work, and your body and mind will benefit more from the sequencing. Also, because George is a popular teacher, if need be we will prioritize those who can attend both classes.

Saturday, January 26, 2:30pm – 5:30pm
