“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain, when you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person you were who walked in. That is what the storm is all about.”
By Haruki Murakami
As we close this year with our last newsletter, it is with a few reflections about the year that has passed. It has been quite a year for the world…. full of beauty, turmoil, opposites, harsh words but also love and a true calling for peace. When we look back upon this year, it will be with many mixed emotions - it was the year where the unthinkable happened, a year that we still did not manage to stop the violence in Syria and in many other places but it was also a year when people came together and called out for truth in strong voices. Sometimes we seem to have to go to the darkest of places, to see the light and see what is worth standing for.
Earth Yoga has been blessed with wonderful memories this past year,
We have welcomed many amazing teachers from all over the world to our studio; Jeanne Heilemann, Tara Judelle, David Lurey, Mirjam Wagner, Scott Lyons, Dylan Werner, Chris Chavez, Nico Luce, Nianna Bray and many more. We love being able to host teachings from many lineages and many paths all leading to One Truth.
We are truly proud of our house teachers who continue to grow, inspire, learn and teach all of you dear friends on a regular basis. All of our teachers continue to learn more, take more trainings and all have hearts bigger than the world! Thank You Katja, Jay, Brent, Margit, Agnes, Danae, Yasmin, Frank, Mateo, Linda, Jeanne, Stefanie, Sarah, Rebecca, Emily, Julia, Kim and Sandra for making our lives richer by your teachings.
We have continued to support many causes through our monthly donation practices, the projects below are just a few of the charities we have donated to this year : Can Gaza, Fundacion Nazaret, The Sheldrake Elephant Sanctuary, the animal shelter in Esporles, CineCon Ciencia, help for the refugees. With your help we will continue to grow, give and support all the good work that is being done in the world by good people.
As we are moving nearer the holiday time many of us come to realize that it is now that we need our practice more than ever – to stay centered, connect to higher self - to then truly be able to give.
For those of you who are looking for inspiration for christmas presents to give to Male loved ones. We would suggest 'The Introduction for Yoga for Men Weekend with David Lurey'. This will be a weekend workshop that introduces yoga for men who might be intimidated to come to a regular yoga class as a beginner. David will introduce the benefits of yoga in a very accessible way and a hike will be included (weather permitting). The dates are 13 - 15 January 2017. To register or to find our more information please contact either David Lurey (david@findbalance.net) or info@earthyoga.es
Jeanne Lurie will continue guiding us with healing meditation after the regular Mindful Flow class with Sandra every Thursday . The 30 minute meditation session begins staight after the 10am class, it is donation based and has different themes every month. This month we are focusing on a special Medical Meditation to Tranquilize the Mind clearing and calming a busy mind that sometimes will not leave us alone. We will be practicing the mudra that Buddha called ¨pleasing to the mind¨ together with conscious pranayama to go deep into a subtle space of inner peace and calm. Please feel free to come along and take part.Jeanne Heileman will be hosting part one of her Tantra Flow 300 Hour Training which takes place here at Earth Yoga from 20 until 31 March 2017. This is an amazing opportunity to dive deeper into your practice – diving deeper into asanas, alignment, pranayama, meditation and how to work with the mind. Many of us teachers here at Earth Yoga has completed either Jeanne’s 200 Hour or 300 Hour training, so if you need anymore information, let us know, we love her and are happy to share. The cut off of the early bird price is 20 January 2017.
We are planing to stay open for most of the holiday season and will send out our full Christmas schedule nearer the time but for now please know that we are open as usual during next weeks fiestas (December 6 & December 8). For our most up to date schedule please visit our website www.earthyoga.es
Lastly but by no means least, we are proud to promote the ISLA Production of 'The Christmas Carol´ (Un Cuento De Navidad) . It is a family affair with both Drew, Sandra , Lucia ( Jays daughter ) and the children of Earth Yoga acting in it. It is for all ages in English and with a lot of music and Christmas Spirit. This year it takes place at the Palma Auditorium from the 15th until 18th of December. For ticket information please visit www.islatheatreproject.com
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday and a peaceful closing of 2016.
We love having you a part of our lives as we continue to grow, learn and love more in 2017.
Love
Sandra and the Earth Yoga Team
