The Award-Winning Yoga Channel Studio is now broadcasting yoga classes LIVE. Here’s what students have to say about the new online classes: • "It was awesome. Thanks so much!" • "How fantastic to share and see virtually friends and to have our dogs with us!" • “Super easy to set up from my home laptop and lots of fun.” Message from Yoga Channel Studio Steward It was clear to the Yoga Studio steward, Aurora, that everyone needed some community and connection right now. “I understand, that for most of us, this is not our first choice in taking yoga classes,” explains Aurora, “but it is what we have to offer right now. We hope that you support us, even if it is not your first choice, in understanding that if you don't support these classes now, there might not be any IN STUDIO YOGA CLASSES in the future.” As everyone knows, what WE do now, will determine our future, including the future of the popular healing space in Port Hueneme. In the three years since Aurora has become the steward of the Yoga Channel, she has had to maneuver three major national disasters. “Each time, the studio has taken a hit,” Aurora said. “The studio will not sustain itself without community support. TODAY. And let's not forget about your instructors, whose livelihood may depend on their teaching. If you have the means, please continue to support them and the studio. If not, please share this newsletter or some of our social media posts.

Since the coronavirus outbreak, more and more people are working from home. That means our renters need a workable home office. Here’s how to create a snazzy one that will make you look forward to clocking in. 1) The essentials Some experts have said there are only two essentials for a functional home office: a comfortable chair and a door that closes. Most people, however, probably have a few more requirements. Basic elements of designing a room include smart space planning, adequate lighting and sufficient storage. When setting up your home office, also consider functionality and comfort. 2) Get horizontal Start with your work surface. Stock desk units come in a variety of materials but may be difficult to fit in with your room. Modular office furniture is more flexible and comes in many styles. Or look to repurposed furniture. With some judicious changes, you can turn flea market finds and antiques into acceptable home office elements. Don’t hesitate to make a piece your own with a simple coat of paint in your favorite color. 3) Take a seat Chairs need to be functional, but an office chair isn’t your only choice. If you’ll be spending a lot of time working in the office, consider including a lounge chair or chaise. It will make a comfortable spot for reading or coffee breaks. For your desk, choose a chair with an adjustable seat and armrests to protect your spine and help reduce aches and injuries. To personalize it, add a throw pillow to coordinate with window coverings or other decorative elements in the room. 4) Essential details Make a list of everything you need, from pencils and paper clips to research materials and file folders. Pick a color scheme and purchase the necessities in your favorite palette. Measure all the electronic equipment you’ll require to determine where it will fit best. And make sure you add some favorite framed photos or artwork to inspire you. To create softness and texture underfoot, layer on an area rug to anchor your space. 5) Light it up Natural light is great, and we have it in abundance here in Ventura County. But you’ll still need ambient and task lighting too. Here is another opportunity to add a bit of personal style to your space via lamp shades, crystals and fixture finishes. Watch out for the possibility of glare, especially when finding a place for your computer screen. If your office space doesn’t have a door, you can establish a sense of privacy by the way you orient your work surface or by using a screen or file cabinets to mark off the area.
