Dear Yogi´s and friends
"Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and to find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. Love is the bridge between you and everything."
Rumi
This past month was a very inspiring one and it passed very quickly. We set intentions, we set foundations and created a clear space for what we intend and visualize for this coming year. January is always filled with hopes, dreams and longing to move beyond and further than the year that passed...The challenge is to hold on the spark through out the rest of these winter months and to keep insisting that there is perhaps a better way, new ways to look at things and above all to come back to the place of Love and dare to look at our fears with honesty.
So , this month we inspire you to keep manifesting, creating and trust that the seeds that we sow do have a positive impact and can help make this world a kinder place.
We enjoyed a beautiful Yin Workshop with Mirjam Wagner in January and also ended the month with a wonderful Kirtan with over 50 people who showed up to sing our hearts out with David Lurey and band.
This month, we want to inspire you to keep up your practice daily. Even if you do not make it to class everyday, see if you can practice off the mat. We will offer you some suggestions to how to keep your practice alive and vibrant even if you can not make it to the studio:
Take 10 minutes and move slowly through Surya A and Surya B.
These namaskars have a familiarity in them and most of us know them by heart.
They still have the magic of building breath, strength and endurance.
Create and altar in your home, office or wherever you spend a lot of time.
When you create an altar , you alter something in yourself. A candle , a quote, a photo, mala or just anything that holds value for you.
Sit in silence. Place your timer, begin with 3 min, then add to 6 minutes and then 12 minutes , etc . Focus on breath or a powerful mantra . My favorites that ground me are : So Hum ( I am all of this , I am all of that ) / Om Nama Shivaya (Shiva is the strength of patience , steadiness and energized tranquility and also the destroyer o Ego) so when we repeat this mantra we are calling upon our higher self.
This month, we have an Emotional Bodywork intensive weekend with Thilo Engel taking place at the studio (12-14 February). For more information or to sign up please contact info@earthyoga.es
Our regular classes will continue as normal with the exception of our 2pm Tuesday Kundalini Classes with Linda which will we pause for the time being. We will host our monthly Donation yoga class next Thursday 11 February at 10am. All the proceeds will go towards UNHCR, the UN'S department for caring of children. Please come and let us give together.
We are also thrilled to have Kim working with us for the next 10 weeks, not only is she a wonderful yoga teacher but we have the fortune of having her with us as an intern. 
"My name is Kim, I am 23 years old and I am German but grew up here on the island. I am very excited to introduce myself as an intern for Earth Yoga during the next 2 months! I am currently studying in Amsterdam for the Bachelor of International Sport Management and Business. As part of this programme, I will be doing several internships and I was lucky enough to do my first one here, at Earth Yoga. Earth Yoga is the studio where I first started a regular yoga practice, where I taught my first yoga classes and where I will now do my first internship. Earth Yoga has, therefore, been a big part of my “yoga path” so far and I am incredibly thankful that I now get to give back something to the studio myself.
For the next 2 months I have joined the Earth Yoga team to help with promotion and outreach programmes. You will be seeing me around the studio a lot and I look forward to getting to meet some new faces. I might also take photos during/before/after some classes. In case you do not wish to be photographed, let me or the studio know! Hopefully you are following Earth Yoga on Instagram (@earthyogamallorca) and like us on Facebook to stay up to date with anything that is going on in the studio!"Kim´s first project for Earth Yoga is to introduce yoga to the men of mallorca! If you know any guys out there who may be interested in yoga then please tell them about the studio and as a bonus they will get 40% off their first class!
And lastly, keeping with the male theme and also continuing to keep the Earth Yoga community alive we would like to introduce our February "Yogi of the month" Matt started with yoga because he was looking
“for something different” from the gym and usual exercise and appreciated the connection with the body that yoga provided him with. Matt has been practicing yoga for a year and started with yoga by taking a retreat in Spain. He loves the strengthening and conditioning aspect of yoga but very much enjoys the meditative side to it that comes by working with the breath. Matt loves Earth Yoga for its welcoming feel, positive energy and kind people. He especially appreciates being able to practice with different teachers that all have their own, unique styles. Matt joins Earth Yoga on an almost daily basis and has been very dedicated to his yoga practice. That is why we choose Matt for our Yogi of the Month! Congratulations and keep up the good work!
We look forward to seeing many of you at Earth Yoga very soon
Love
Sandra and the Earth Yoga Team
