BENCHS (3^rd year)
October 26, 2012 (5:30–6:30pm)

In memoriam to my dog Sheila, and inspired by long-time studio supporter and yoga student Suzi Kroon.  Her dedication, and the heart she has brought to the Blue Earth and Nicollet Counties Human Society Animal Shelter got me on board.  Monies come from donations at Friday classes/Halloween weekend.
