Feet on the Fly Sunset Run
Thursday | June 19th | 7:30 pm-8:45
Meet at the cannon on Lyon and Lombard
we will end at the Final Final for…popcorn

I don’t know how much of a sunset we’re going to see due to it being “summer” in San Francisco. BUT! I do know that a run in the fog is great fun. It’s like nature is giving us a cooling summer facial - people pay good money for mist like that!

Join us for Feet on the Fly and afterwards we will mosey over to the Final Final for some adult beverages & popcorn.

Yeeehaawww! Hope to see my flyers there!

Hey, I’m doing a talk on Ayurveda tomorrow night | 6:30 | Sports Basement (Potrero Hill) | between 15 & 16th @ Bryant. If you are curious, please join us for an introduction to this ancient Indian healing science.

Another cool thing about Sports Basement is that they have a speaker series where you can go listen to people lecture on various topics dealing with athletic, outdoorsy and healthy schtuff - for free!

Aaaand, they have invited me to be a part of the series! So I (Monica) will be doing a lecture on Thursday June 12th 6:30 pm @ Sports Basement (Bryant St) on the topic of Ayurveda. I would love to see a packed house so that I can share this knowledge with a LOT of people. So please, bring all of your friends. Here is the blurb about my lecture:

Monica Bloom, owner of Feet on the Fly and an Ayurvedic student, will teach you the philosophies of Ayurveda and how to balance your mind, body, and soul for optimum health. Ayurveda is a 5,000 year old Indian holistic healing science meaning, “The Knowledge of Life.” It teaches us how to stay disease-free simply by knowing what energies (doshas) govern our unique bodies and how to remain in flux with nature. Through this self knowledge we are able to take responsibility for our own health, mental well being, and spiritual growth. Monica is excited to give you the gift of self knowledge so you can start applying this fascinating ancient science to your own life.

Dude. Let me tell you how much Sports Basement rocks. I called to see if I could get the Flyers a discount on merchandise…they not only gave us a discount, but they are throwing us a party, coming out to a Feet on the Fly class to do a gait analysis for everyone AND they are helping us grow! I was amazed at the help and support they are giving us. Holy schnykees. Info on the party below:

The party is on Thursday, May 22nd from 6-8 pm

In addition, on Wednedsay May 14th, Jim (from “the SB”) will be coming out to do a gait analysis of the flyers come to the 6:15 pm class. This means that he will watch how you run and make sure that the shoes you are wearing are the right ones for your bod. And if they’re not, he will happily make recommendations based on his analysis of YOU. Yeah…we like that.
