~ UPDATE FROM JANICE ~
To those of you who have been of such tremendous support in the recent months, I offer my heart felt thanks. Following the closure of the beautiful Tuscany Studio, the combination of divorce proceedings, heath complications & on-going frustrations with cellular phone service (or substantial intermittant lack thereof) has been moderately overwhelming.
I am so thankful that the storms appear to be calming,
and the prospects of teaching yoga are again in focus on my horizon.
I have been touched by the outpouring of support in the Rapid City and surrounding area communities ~ your calls (the ones that got through), emails and cards have meant the world in this very difficult time. I am blessed with many beautiful friends, thoughtful and patient students, & a loving community where it seems I always run into what my 3 boys call a
" yoga friend".
:)
Verizon has finally agreed, I am not crazy ~ the problem with the phone is in the tower; intermittant blocking of messages. Incoming, outgoing, text, voice, even facebook messaging from the phone was effected. As the problem was intermittant, and I did not know what I did not know...when a "fix" at the tower was made and I was told all was well - I trusted it to be so. It was impossible to know that it was not working, until sadly, I was approached by someone who did not get a messge or a call back. These incidents were and are heart breaking for me when I find out about them.
The only true fix is a new number, which now I happily have. To contact me: 605.593.2803
As before, if you had tried to contact me, and I did not call you back...
it's because I did not get the message.
I will be reaching out to students and clients who's contact information I have with my new information.
My deepest apologies go out to anyone who felt hurt from an unanswered call.
Please call the NEW number! 605.593.2803
I have exciting new yoga news! As well as a new teaching schedule I will be announcing soon, I have entered the Surya Chandra Healing Yoga School 700 hour Yoga Therapy Program. My Teacher is JJ Gromley. I am grateful to Scottie Bruch of Sturgis Yoga for bringing such an amazing opportunity to the Black Hills! Yoga Therapy has been a long desired path of mine and perhaps the blessing in disguise of the timely closure of the Tuscany Studio has facilitated this opportunity in my life; and it couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time!
More to come - soon!
Namaste!
Janice

~ A NOTE FROM JANICE ~
I would like to offer up most sincere apologies to those I know, and those I do not know
who have been effected by the recent collapse in the phone, text and email messaging at Roots.
In as much as we can detect, the source of this issue was a blackberry, and infected computer operation as well as phone. The earliest detection of a problem was November of 2010.
Sadly, there is no way of knowing how long this has gone on.
As of Wednesday, July 13th all systems appear to be functioning properly again.
If you, or someone you know were not replied to,
either through phone message, email, facebook or text ~ please contact us again.
We would love to answer any questions you may have about our growing studio!
Complicating this already difficult issue has been my ongoing health concerns. Had my focus not been so weighted here, I may have caught this messaging issue long ago. In February I was diagnoised with a rare progressive neurological disease. While this was a card I would not have chosen, after 2.5 years of symptoms it was good to finally know what was happening to my body so proper treatment could ensue. While the disease seems to have spread, it also has been signifacantly halted in its progression with the many avenues of treatment I have taken these past months.

This is a condition, a disease, in which remission is possible;
and in my case...a patient who has 17 years of yoga practice behind every breath, it is probable.
So, my dear friends...I fill in the gaps not to burden you, nor to seek your pity.
Simply, that I, like you, need to Breathe. Be Well. and Be Strong.
Namaste!
