"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

***************************
Our regular schedule begins this coming Monday 1st 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 16th 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 18th 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
