Live Like a Local: Yoga on the Beach

     September is National Yoga Month, so what better time is there to share one of our favorite activities with you! Yoga is a wonderful way to strengthen your body, mind, and spirit. And you know, it’s something anyone can learn! Everyone is welcome to attend Yoga on the Beach each Friday evening from 7:30 to 8:30 pm.
     Our good friend Sue Finkle teaches the class. Sue is a certified yoga instructor and teaches classes in Savannah as well as the one here on Tybee. Her mission is to promote a practice of self compassion to all of her students, and empower them with practical stress reduction tools.

     This is a gentle class, so please don’t be intimidated! All ages and experience levels are welcome! Sue really strives to create a vibrant, peaceful, non-judgmental experience for everyone…so bring a beach towel or mat and join us!
     Yoga on the Beach classes are every Friday evening from 7:30 to 8:30 pm (weather permitting) and are located near the Gulick Street walkover at the North Beach parking lot. Donations are accepted and appreciated. For more information, visit Sue at the Breath Into Balance website and keep updated on her Facebook page! We hope to see you there soon!

Mermaid Sighting: Mountain Mermaid

     This week a fellow mermaid, Louie Windom, sent in her recent sighting for us to enjoy! When she was in Florida, Louie went in search of artist Wendy Prentice.

Louie as a Wendy Mermaid!
     Wendy paints mermaids, and her work has even been featured in Coastal Living Magazine. She found her shop near Grayton Beach and, even though Wendy wasn’t there at the time, Louie still had fun looking around and snapping fun mermaid shots! 
You too can pose as a Wendy Mermaid!
Wendy was featured as a Coastal Character in Coastal Living Magazine!

     Louie is a displaced mermaid herself, being a Florida girl living in Denver,CO! You can visit her and see what she is up to at her Mountain Mermaid blog. Thanks for sharing your sighting with us Louie!

     Remember, if you see a mermaid share your pictures with us! Send your sightings to diane@mermaidcottages.com and your pictures could be featured as our next Mermaid Sighting! We look forward to hearing from you soon!
