about free yoga events in the Research Triangle (NC) area

[Tom Roche <Tom_Roche AT pobox.com>]

This Thursday 26 Mar, instead of doing the yoga circle @ 7pm @
Sunstone, let's do the free 7:30-8:45pm Vinyasa Yoga Pilates Fusion @
Franklin Street Yoga (FSY). Why?

* Kristin DeMarco is a great instructor. I'm not sure she's the same
  person as the "Kristen" described in the instructor bio on the FSY
  page, but the bio details sure sound the same.

* None of us calls power-yoga very well, so it will be a good change
  of pace.

* This is the last of the free March classes @ FSY, and folks who
  haven't been there should check them out.

Note that, to take a class there, you need to register, first with
FSY, then for the individual class. To do that, go to

http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=FranklinStreetYogaCenter&stype=1

If you're not already registered with FSY, hit the link @ upper right
to "Sign Up!" After you've got a username and password, you can go
back to the same page and login (again, at upper right). You can then
browse to the appropriate day (e.g. "Thu March 26, 2009") and hit the
"Sign Up Now!!" button next to the desired class (e.g. "7:30 - 8:45
PM, Vinyasa Yoga Pilates Fusion All Levels, Kristen").

So how to get to FSY? It's in University Square in Chapel Hill

http://tinyurl.com/UniversitySquareChapelHill

across from Church St, one block west of Columbia and Franklin, on the
south side of Franklin. In that mall, FSY is

* on the south side, facing away from Franklin and toward Granville
  Towers (the high-rise dorms between Franklin and Cameron)

* in the middle, on the central "aisle," across from the Chapel Hill
  Police substation.

There is car and bike parking on the south side of University Square,
and that's served by several Chapel Hill Transit lines as well: see
the map @

http://www.ci.chapel-hill.nc.us/index.asp?NID=793

and note that University Square is the (unmarked) buildings on W
Franklin St in the upper right corner of the map, just north of
Granville Towers (which is marked). Note also that

* FSY provides mats, hand towels, and other props.

* FSY classes tend to be warm. Not Bikram warm, but still about
  80°F, so dress accordingly.
