When I moved back to MA a few years ago, I made it a priority to host my friends for dinner on a monthly basis. Last year, I hosted my first Friendsgiving dinner, squeezing as many friends + family I could into my house to share a meal.

As my Friendsgiving dinner comes up again this year, I’ve decided to bring the celebration to BDY, too!

For the month of November, any Black Door Yoga customer with a current class pass (any membership, 5 class pack, 10 class pack, morning challenge pass, or 2 week new student deal) can bring 1 friend with them to class for free!

Here’s how it works:

1. You must have an active pass on your PunchPass account to be eligible for BDY Friendsgiving (see eligible pass list above. This excludes drop-in passes or any other special promos)
2. You must email me at samantha@blackdooryoga.com 24 hours before class to sign up your friend. If you don’t email the day before I cannot guarantee there will be space in class for your friend to join.
3. Each active pass holder can bring only one friend.
4. Hopefully you’ll bring a new friend to the studio to take class! But it’s ok to bring a friend who has practiced at BDY before. However, you cannot bring a friend who currently holds any active pass at BDY (including passes listed above or any other active pass in PunchPass).

Let’s celebrate our friends this month and show them why you love practicing at Black Door!

Calling all Yoga Teachers – 2 spots left in our Advanced Study Intensive!

Are you a yoga teacher looking for an opportunity to improve your understanding of Pranayama, breath mechanics, and cueing breath during asana? Join guest teacher Sara Basile for a 2.5 hour workshop at BDY, designed to increase your confidence and toolkit for cueing breath.

Want to be part of a BDY studio photo shoot? Reply to this email to sign up!

I’m looking for one more volunteer (thanks to those who already signed up!) available on Sunday Nov 8th from 11am to 12pm to pose for a variety of photos in the studio. We’ll have a photographer here to take photo and video that will be used on BDY’s website, Instagram, etc.

Participants will receive lunch in the studio at noon when we finish up the photos. If you’re interested and available, please reply to this email and let me know! And thank you for your participation!
