Hi and welcome to Grand Basin Yoga! My classes offer inspiration from many traditions and include meditation, intention setting, calling in the elements, and directions, pranayama and appropriately challenging asana. Classes are very focused but delivered with a sense of humor. The practice is based upon the yogis who come to class. I check in to see what the students need each time and craft my session from there. I also include energy work during practice and offer verbal guidance and cueing. I make adjustments when necessary but I prefer for my students to get to the pose naturally and over time feeling them in their own bodies. It is a very personal experience. Classes are 75 to 90 minutes and I often play singing bowls with guided meditation/visualization along with time for silence during savasana. The music comes from the fountains of overflowing joy. All levels are welcome and practice is meant to inspire not discourage beginners. The community is very welcoming and diverse. There is often live music and opportunities to connect with other students after classes. Register via www.diannalucas.com Be prepared to have fun. Class cards are available for purchase online, or you can pay the first day of your practice to avoid the $2 online processing fee. Please ask about scholarships, Danna, and pay it forward plans. New & Returning Students: Please complete the online registration form before paying for classes so I know which class you are signing up for.

Soldan International Studies High School is a public magnet high school in the Academy neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri that is part of the St. Louis Public Schools. From its opening in 1909, Soldan was known for its wealthy and predominantly Jewish student population. Starting in the 1950s, the student population underwent a rapid change in demographics; by the mid-1960s, it was predominantly African American. In the early 1990s, the school was renovated and reopened as a magnet school with a focus on international relations.Soldan currently offers its students several athletic and academic opportunities, including cross country, football, soccer, tennis, softball and volleyball. Its dropout rate is lower than the state average, and it is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. It has several notable alumni and former students, including politicians, authors, academics, and athletes.HistoryConstruction and early yearsBy the end of the 1890s, the population of the city had increased to more than 575,000, but since 1855, the St. Louis Public Schools had operated only one high school. To meet the need for greater space for high school students, the school district built two new high schools in 1904. Three years later, the district began building a fourth high school, which would become Soldan. Known during its construction as Union Avenue High School and renamed Soldan High School upon opening, the school was named for Frank Louis Soldan, the superintendent of St. Louis schools from 1895 until his death in 1908. Land acquisition costs for the building were $10,000, and construction cost $630,000.
