JUNE 2013 NEWSLETTER

Dear Yogis,

“Each of us feels some aspect of the world´s suffering acutely. And we must pay attention. We must act . This little corner of the world is ours to transform. This little corner of the world is ours to save.”
By Stephen Cope from the “great work of your life”.

 
We hope that you are enjoying summer and finally the warmth as much as we are!   We were very honored to begin the month of June with our guest teacher Coral Brown. Coral spent a week with us teaching both workshops and regular classes and we were all super grateful and wonderfully inspired to receive new teachings. We hope to welcome her back very soon.
 
We opened our second yoga shala in portals in conjunction with sporting fitness, almost a month ago and we are loving practicing with a sea view! There is free parking right outside and the sea is just a 2 minute walk away.  So if you are in the area or have friends that live in and around Portals please do check out our schedule for portals on our home page www.earthyoga.es.  Just like in our Santa Catalina studio there is no need to sign up before hand,  just show up about 10 minutes before practice.     We are also happy to announce a new class to our schedule in portals 'Kundalina yoga for everyone' Our dear friend and teacher Linda will lead Kundalini practices every Wednesday at 11am -12.15pm, beginning this Wednesday 12 June.
 
Kundalini yoga uses movement, sound current,breath and meditation to relax and heal your body. It also brings a greater feeling of well being and happiness to everyone that begins with the practice.   Please feel free to come and try one of Lindas practices in our portals studio or with our wonderful Jeanne in Santa Catalina.  

Jeanne will be also offering a Sadhana practice for the age of aquraius on Saturday 22 June.  Sadhana is a discipline that moves us toward cosmic consciousness and self realization.  To reach samadhi or self realization, we must consciously seek to unite with higher consciousness, or simply chose to stay asleep. A sadhu is a being who has disciplined himself. Sadhana is the technique to discipline yourself.  To practice Sadhana means to get up at dawn, meditate, chant mantras, perform asanas, call on your spirit and regulate your breath and join together in group consciousness to help each other and to help the world and the new golden age of consciousness.    According to ancient yogic teachings, the ambrosial hours, the time between 4 and 7 in the morning, are the best time to practice yoga and meditation. The stillness that pervades at this time of day makes it easier for the subconsicous mind and the different energy and glandular systems in the body to be receptive to the attunement generated by meditative practices.   Sadhana is discipline and commitment, a commitment to yourself to become the best you that you can be by discipliing yourself and eliminating ego and the negative mind,
 
Please join with Jeanne in lifting group consciousness:
