DECEMBER 2014 NEWSLETTER

Dear Yogis,

Once you have flown,  you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you long to return”
Leonardo da Vinci

I am writing this on Thanksgiving Day, a day where we are reminded of all the amazing things that life has to offer and a day where we take a moment to stop and honor the people, beings, animals that are in our lives.    It is proven many times that when we as people choose to give thanks, choose to stop in our tracks and look at all the things that we do have in our lives, we are much happier.

So being grateful is good for the body, mind and spirit!    As we become more conscious of the things that root us, that we sometimes take for granted, we then become more free to fly .

We are embarking on December,  a month of preparing for the holidays, socializing, baking, eating and being together. We love this month and look forward in supporting you to also let go, breathe and come back to centre even though your outer world may be busy.

However we end November on a high with a Shiva Shakti Weekend hosted by Mirjam and David. They are back home in Mallorca for a while from long travels teaching everywhere from Crete to Germany.



There are still a few spaces left so if you would like to sign up for what will be a nurturing and wonderful way to welcome the month of December.  Please contact either Earth Yoga info@earthyoga.es or contact Mirjam and David directly www.findbalance.net / www.yogatherapymallorca.com

Due to the Thai Massage Exchange taking place on Friday evening, where silence and stilling the mind is very much the focus, there will be NO 7pm Vinyasa class with Agnes.   Please note that Katja will be teaching her regular 10.30am Saturday morning practice but in the smaller shala. As there will be two classes going on at the same time on Saturday morning, please be a yogi and respectful of keeping voices down both before and after class!  Rebecca will contine to teach her regular 10.30am class on Sunday but again due to the Yin Yoga and Live Music event taking place in the afternoon there will be no 7pm vinyasa class with Frank..

**********
On Tuesday 2 December, we are happy to offer our monthly Full Moon Gong Meditation with Jeanne Lurie,  Anna and Andy here at Earth Yoga, Santa Catalina. We will practice Kundalini Yoga from 8.15 pm- 9.15 pm and then the Gong meditation with Anna and Andy will begin right after at 9.20pm until 10.20pm. This will be in combination with the full moon and it is a powerful very healing way to practice . If you come for either Kundalini or the Gong meditation separately, the price is 14€ but they work really nicely together for a combined price of 20€


**********
Katja will be hosting our first workshop in our space in Portals !
The date is Friday 5 December from 12- 3pm.  She will teach and break down Surya Namaskara A ( Sun Salutation A) in a very safe and alignment based way. We are limiting the spaces to 10 people and we already have quite a few sign ups, so if you are interested in how to approach this very healing and common practice, please contact us at info@earthyoga.es.



**********
On Sunday 14 December, Jeanne will be hosting her Breast Cancer Awareness Workshop, this time in Spanish.  Jeanne teaches how to both prevent and stay your most vibrant, in order to avoid breast cancer.  She will teach breathing techniques , food, supplements and asanas.



Also on Sunday 14th December (4-5pm), we are happy to welcome once again Emily Larkin and Emiline Emmeline Gee from the Mallorca Laughter Club! Join them for an hour of laughter and general merriment! They will do a series of laughter exercises and deep breathing exercises to get you giggling and guffawing. It's a great stress-buster and should leave you smiling for the rest of the day :-) No experience necessary, just a desire to have fun and to laugh your troubles away. All ages welcome. Suggested donation to cover our costs: €5-€10   Do not miss this healing moment to let yourself go, laugh and see the good things in life!



**********
On Saturday 20 December,  our dear Jeanne will be offering an early morning Sadhana. A 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.
Time : 6:30am - 9:00am - 75 min yoga asana - 60 minutes mantra meditation.   Open to all - No experience required.   This will be a donation based class.

**********
Our Prenatal Yoga & Mummy / Baby Yoga classes with Philippa will be paused on Tuesday 9 December and Thursday 11 December as Phillipa is away. But they will then resume again the following week.

Our dear meditation teacher Ezrah has been doing wonderful meditations here at our shala in Santa Catalina and we hope to host meditation classes in our shala in Portals very soon.  However, Ezrah is going away to Mexico for the holiday period, so we will have a break from the meditation sessions from December 14 through to January 7.

**********
Finally, as we are moving closer to Christmas, David Lurey will be covering a few of Sandra´s classes as she will be busy preparing for the Theatre production of “ A Christmas Carol” that will be running from 12th - 21st December at the Teatre Municipal Catalina Valls, Passeig de Mallorca 9, Palma.

We welcome another month and notice the days getting shorter, the season of Vata coming into its own rhythm and the cooling down at night.

SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER 2014

Dear Yogis,

"And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, "This is important!
And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!"
And each day, it´s up to you to yank your hand back put it on your heart and say,
"No. This is what´s important"
- Iain Thomas

We are super excited to be able to welcome all of our dear yogis back after a long hot summer!   We so very happy to get back in to a routine and of course getting some healthy discipline back into our lives.   Back to our mat, our practice, our breath and our work using this time to detox both mind, body and soul .

We look forward to welcoming Simon Park to Earth Yoga next weekend (5-7 September).


 
 If you are interested in signing up for one or all of his workshops then please contact us at reception or email us at info@earthyoga.es

***************************

Our regular schedule begins this coming Monday  1^st September.  We are very happy to add the following classes to our calendar........ (gentle warning there is a lot of information listed below you do not need to memorize it as it is listed on our calender on the website!!)

On Monday 1 September, we will be offering a new lunchtime class (2 - 3.30pm) with Emily Larkin. Emily will be teaching a Yin Yoga :  Healing in Stillness class. Yin Yoga is a static practice focused on the more yin areas of our body, such as the bones, joints and connective tissue around our hips, pelvis, and spine.  It is a beautiful complement to the more muscular, rhythmic (yang) styles of practice. Postures are all practiced on the floor, and held for a longer period of time (3-5 mins).  By practicing in safe and controlled positions, we can surrender into the relaxation of the muscles and allow the connective tissue to be gently and safely maintained. We practice in a state of mindful awareness, fully present in our bodies and sensations that arise within.  The poses and use of breath and awareness encourages the increased flow of chi through the meridians of the lower body, bringing balance and healing.   This class is suitable for students of all levels.

Pregancy Yoga with Philipa will begin on Tuesday 16^th  September at 11am. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, give yourself and your baby this wonderful gift. The wise teaching can revolutionize how you experience your body, your baby's development and your baby's birth. This class will take place in the smaller shala in Santa Catalina.   Philipa will also be teaching a Mummy and Baby class on Thursdays at 12pm starting on 18^th September. This will be a gentle stretch class that will incorporate playing and singing with your baby.

Katja will restart her weekly Beginner Vinyasa class on Wednesday 3rd September at 2pm

We will be offering an ISHTA inspired / Dynamic Hatha yoga class with Sarah at 2pm on Thursdays. Sarah will begin teaching on 11th September. This class is a wonderful blend of Hatha, breath and alignment . It will be a great complement to those who love a dynamic practice but without the constant movement of a Vinyasa Practice.

We are changing our evening Yin Class with Julia. It will now take place after Sandra´s Vinyasa class on Wednesday evenings. This will begin on Wednesday 10th September.  Yogis will have the chance to practice a flow class and then stay on for a Yin Practice.   Sandra will begin her Vinyasa at the normal time of 6.30pm but end it slightly earlier (after a nice cool down) at 8.45pm. The Yin practice with Julia will then begin 8pm -  9.15pm  If you choose to do both practices (Vinyasa and Yin), please talk to reception for price info.

Mateo will resume his Vinyasa classes in Spanish on Wednesday 17 September. He will teach two classes : 6.30-8pm (level 2 class) and 8.30pm-10pm (level 1-2).

Due to the change of day for the evening Yin Class, Frank will now be teaching his Vinyasa class at an earlier time of 7pm on Thursdays. This comes in to effect on Thursday 11 September.
Jeanne will also be starting a Hatha yoga class designed for people recovering from injuries and for mature yogis. This will begin at 8pm on Thursday 11 September.

We would like to offer a meditation class at Earth Yoga.  Our friend Ezra will be offering an introduction to meditation during Sandra´s Mindful Vinyasa class on Thursday 11 September.  Ezra has a long background in meditation and has hosted many meditation groups over the past years.
If we find we have a group of more than four people then we can then work it into our schedule.  We suggest the following days/times for the mediation class : Tuesday 8.30am-9.30am /
Wednesdays 10am-11am / Thursdays 8.30pm-9.30pm. Please let us know if you are interested in the suggested days/times.

Kundalini with Linda will resume mid September. We will keep you posted.

Our classes in Portals are running as normal!

We send you much love and look forward to seeing you at Earth Yoga very soon.

Love
Sandra and the Earth Yoga Team

JIVAMUKTI YOGA WEEKEND (23-24 AUGUST)

Dear Yogis,

We are very pleased to be able to offer a Jivamukti Yoga weekend here at Earth Yoga.  We welcome Petros* to our studio in Santa Catalina on 23 - 24 August where he will be hosting the following events.......

Jivamukti Masterclass

Jivamukti Yoga Phylosophy & Practice
Transform yourself with Jivamukti Yoga. A workshop to meet and learn about the 5 tenets of Jivamukti Yoga:  A Jivamukti Yoga class involves an ever changing flow of postures (vinyasa) that is intended to challenge you on many levels. The teaching revolves around a theme based on ancient wisdom and emphasizes the importance of practicing with an elevated intention. Chanting, meditation, and inspiring music are an important part in this form of practice.

The five tenets of Jivamukti Yoga are:

Scripture ~ source teachings from the ancient Sanskrit scriptures.
Bhakti ~ devotion; finding a greater purpose for our lives.
Ahimsa ~ non-harming; understanding how our actions affect other beings.
Music ~ Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound), chanting and listening to good music.
Meditation ~ turning inwards and reconnecting to our true selves

Date : Saturday 23 August
Time : 11 – 1.30pm
Price : 35€



****
Kriya / Asana / Pranayama - a Jivamukti Yoga Workshop  
Patanjali discribes the ashtanga yoga, the eight-limbed yoga path in his Yoga-Sutras. A possible aprroach to an open perspective, deep understanding and the experience of our unlimited potential and creativity. The different practices allow us to slowly sharpen our focus on the unchangeable true nature of our existence, which we eventually meet within us. Due to our way of living, our diet, social conditioning - due to our definition of what's real or not (mostly given through the collective consciousness of our environment) and our perception, based upon those principles, a honest view on our own truth, covered by this veil becomes rather difficult. In this workshop we will approach parts of those practices and establish a possible connection to our great potential. With kriyas and practices of nada-yoga (the yoga of sound) we will cleanse our koshas (body-layers) deeply - so a feeling of clarity and balance can arise. When the body, mind and breath are cleared and opened through those practices, we set the base for a dynamic, challenging asana-practice (for all levels, some experience is recommended, though). What we started with kriyas, we will continue with asana on a more subtle level. Becoming aware of the energy within us, we will then begin a journey towards our very core - through pranayama, conscious, focused breathing we eventually arrive at a point of clarity, peace and freedom. Finally, here we find total silence. A silence that doesn't occur through the outside, but arises from within, with a smile....

Date : Sunday 24 August
Time : 11 – 1.30pm
Price : 35€



*****

Kirtan with Petros & support
Music is something moving, the proof of the Greek quote "panta rei - always flowing" And when the further ingredients are devotion and prensence, something magic can happen,something that has been described by yogis as "ananda - bliss". This state is nothing far, fixed or framed. It is the state, when intuition, strength and spirit harmonise in the Now. Harmonies are the foundation of music - and so we come together to spontaneously experience, what the word itself actually describes: Harmony (greek: armonia: to bring together; the union of opposites to one whole). So the greek root of the word, that describes the union of opposites is nothing other than something very familiar to us: Yoga!

Date : Sunday 24 August
Time : 8.30pm
Price : 25€

 

There is a special price of 80€ if attending both workshops and Kirtan

Dear Yogis,

“ Your work is not to drag the world kicking and screaming into a new awareness. Your job Is to simply to do your work…sacredly, secretly and silently ..and those with ´eyes to see and ears to hear´ will respond"
The Arcturians

May is upon us and we feel truly as if time is flying!  We are blessed with living on this amazing island and feel like weather, nature and earth here is right now at it’s best.

We are working long days to finish our new Shala which is really start to look and feel wonderful!

APRIL 2014 UPDATE

Dear Yogis,

We are happy to announce that we will now be offering two Sunday Vinyasa Yoga Classes starting this coming Sunday 27 April.   Our karma yogi and newly trained Yoga teacher Kim will teach an all level morning class at 10.30am and Frank will continue to teach his evening class at 7pm.

We are also very pleased to welcome Malin Savstam* to Earth Yoga. She will be covering some of Sandra classes in the next few weeks.  Please see below for the dates and times:

Wednesday 23 April - 6.30pm Class
Thursday 24 April - 10am Class
Wednesday 30 April - 6.30pm Class
Thursday 1 May - 10am Class

*Malin lived her old life in the fast lane. She had it all. Lived a wonderful life. A great husband, three healthy children, beautiful home, full time work, nice salary as responsible for an advertising agency in Stockholm. Christmas 2004 her life crashed when she lost her husband and two of her three children in the tsunami that hit Thailand. It was through a friend eight months after the catastrophe that she got in touch with a yoga teacher who encouraged her to come to a class. Malin was, at the start, skeptical but after a few weeks noticed that yoga exceeded her expectations when it came to the physical practice. On top of that something unexpected started to happen within her. Every class felt like a massage of her body from within, where the ice-cold block of concrete in her chest dissolved for a moment, so that she could breathe again.  Before long Malin visited the yoga studio more and more often. Once a week soon became twice and later extended to three times. Today she claims that yoga is one of three things that saved her life.  Malin was trained to a yoga teacher by Yoga Alliance in Stockholm 2012 and 2013. Today she has two weekly classes. One in a church and one in a yogastudio centrally located in Stockholm.  Her classes are dynamic and inspired by the Jivamukti tradition.    http://www.happybuddhayogastudio.se/malin-savstam/

We look forward to seeing you at Earth Yoga very soon.

Love and Light
