“To know yourself, you must sacrifice the
illusion that you already do.”
-Vironika Tugaleva
Happy February, and on the 10th, Happy Year
of the Wood Dragon! Although challenging, the Wood Dragon year is full of prosperity
and good fortune. All Dragon years are full of creativity, passion, courage,
and confidence. Lots of energy and POWER! If it’s your year, don’t say no my
Dragons!!!
Our schedule, curriculum, and class times remain the
same.
We are celebrating Chinese New Year on the 10th
with a demo and banquet. Let me know if you didn’t get an invite.

Both new years are a time for renewal, reflection, goal
