Studio Events and Updates

June Newsletter:

Welcome to Summer at EKA!

Hello EKA Families,

Summer is almost here, and I couldn’t be more excited for everything we have planned this month! June is packed with opportunities for growth, adventure, fun, and connection both inside and outside the studio. Please take a moment to review all of our upcoming events and important announcements.

Monthly Meditation Theme: Reset & Recharge

Our June Monthly Meditation theme is “Reset & Recharge.”

After the busy and often hectic school season, summer provides us with a valuable opportunity to slow down, reflect, and create balance in our lives. With a little more free time and flexibility in our schedules, we can intentionally focus on cultivating peace, joy, and happiness.

This month, we’ll be exploring the importance of:

  • Finding balance in our daily lives

  • Creating moments of peace and presence

  • Appreciating the simple joys around us

  • Recharging our minds, bodies, and spirits

Let’s use this season as an opportunity to reconnect with ourselves and enjoy all that summer has to offer.

Summer Schedule Begins June 8th

EKA Studio Hike Day

Saturday, June 20th | 9:30 AM

Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

I’m excited to announce our very first EKA Studio Hike Day!

As many of you know, I am an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hiking, camping, backpacking, and rock climbing. The outdoors has taught me countless lessons about perseverance, gratitude, presence, and personal growth, and I’d love the opportunity to share some of those experiences with our studio families.

Nature has a remarkable way of calming the mind, grounding us in the present moment, and reminding us of our connection to the world around us.

For our first hike, we’ll be exploring the beautiful Torrey Pines Beach Trail Loop, a scenic 2.3-mile route that winds through the reserve before descending to the beach and looping back.

Cost: Free

If you’re interested in attending, please email me at MasterJoseph@EvolutionKA.com to reserve your spot.

Additional event details will be sent to all participants prior to the hike.

Martial Arts Day at Petco Park

Sunday, August 2nd

We’re excited to once again participate in Martial Arts Day at Petco Park with the San Diego Padres!

This annual event is always a memorable experience for our students and families. Participating students will have the opportunity to perform on the field alongside martial artists from other schools throughout Southern California before enjoying an afternoon of baseball with our EKA community.

The day will include:

  • Student martial arts performances

  • Demonstrations from other martial arts schools

  • Time with fellow EKA students and families

  • A San Diego Padres baseball game

Ticket Cost: $45 per person

⚠️ The final day to reserve tickets is Friday, June 19th. We must submit our group ticket order by this date, so please don’t wait to sign up.

If you would like to attend and participate, please email me at MasterJoseph@EvolutionKA.com to reserve your tickets.

We hope you’ll join us for one of our favorite annual traditions as we celebrate martial arts, community, and a great day at the ballpark!
