Dear Yogis,
"There is no end to self development. It is work, step by step. The gift of yoga is that you don´t have to jump to the top of the ladder, take the first step. Do not worry about the next step"
July is upon us and we are in the thick of intense heat, a busy island and the love of summer with all its different sides.
We experienced a June with many of our teachers completing their second part of a 300 advanced Teacher Training with our dear teacher Jeanne Heileman. Many of us went deep into the cocoon that one experiences during a teacher training - asana practice, pranayama, insights, stillness and a lot of self inquiry. The beauty of a teacher training is the wonderful transformation that it gives us - both through mind, body and spirit - and a glimpse of the magic that life truly is.
We also experienced wonderful workshops and guest teachers through Mirjam Wagner, Jeanne Heileman and Nianna Bray. All of these women are power houses in their knowledge and passion of yoga - thank you for coming to Earth!
We had a wonderful International day of yoga on June 21st. Many events took place all over the island and Earth Yoga celebrated the day with a pubic class on the beach with Mirjam and Sandra and then later a mindful flow with yoga nidra led by Sarah and Sandra. Thank you all who came and for all teachers and organisers of this event.
For the month of July we are happy to add an extra early morning class to our studio. Our good friend and yoga teacher Malin Savstam will teach at 8am on Tuesdays until the end of July. Malin will teach a Vinyasa foundation class which is open to beginners or for anyone who would like to learn more about the basics of Vinyasa. We highly recommend all of our early 8am classes as a wonderful way to begin your day and before the the intense heat sets in.

Wednesday with Jay (all levels)

We are also happy to have David Lurey back to teach at Earth Yoga for the some dates in July.

We sadly said goodbye to our dear Michele who has moved back to America to care for her parents. She has been one of our most dedicated yogis who came almost everyday and she became a good friend, karma yogi and one who often brought it to the studio the most amazing cookies, maca balls and chocolates all hand made! We will miss her and wish her much love and happiness on her next chapter.
And lastly, we hope that you enjoy the sea, family, friends and some well deserved time off during the summer. Where ever you are do take time for stillness, yoga and yourself.
Love
Sandra and the Earth Yoga Team
