Rubber Soul...Continued

Here's a photo of one of the theater productions that took place at Rubber Soul's studio. The caption, "The Forest Theatre of Pure Form performs The Importance of Being Nest Ear. (butler, Gwendolen [standing in back], Algernon, Cecily.) "

Here's my experience at Rubber Soul ::

Rubber soul is a yoga studio right across the street from the weathered train tracks of athens, georgia. as I live just down the road, the sound of the train that passes by reminds me of my college days of practicing different forms of yoga at rubber soul. this practice influenced my mind; it encouraged me to practice instinctive breathing :: to stretch my spirituality and connect with my body’s flexibile, childish nature.

The yoga studio on pulaski st. survives on donations by its yogis, enough to sustain the studio space and keep doors open. As yoga students, new and experienced, young and old, filter through the glass entrance and place their shoes in neatly prescribed cubby holes, they enter a portal where the time and place of others is displaced by internal reflection and a devotion to self awareness.

Those who attend classes engage in a variety of activities; although most of the classes at rubber soul are practiced forms of yoga, other options include an Athens Zen Group, Pilates, Swing Dancing, and a Monday evening Laugh Club.

Yoga at rubber soul is a recommended lifestyle. Its suggested daily practice is complemented by other behaviors that are described as organic and good. These include (but are not limited to) the non-violent concepts of Fair Trade, Organic, Fair Labor, Renewable Energy, Vegan, Recycled, Tree-Free, Car-Free, Cruelty-Free, and Buy Local.

Anyways, I loved the photo of the theater show...I'm thinking about all the directions we could take this guys...THINK ABOUT IT!

Mucho Love and Tchao for now!
