Dear Yogis ,
"Service is when spirit meets matter where it is. Service is being informed. Service is being enraged and compassionate. Service is being ruthlessly honest about the facts and then choosing to be hopeful about the future.
Work on what hurts the most. Pick your issue and begin by really looking at the hard stuff and then feel the pain. Entertain despair.....And then pick a cause and apply your LOVE to it."
Danielle de La Porte
Deeply inspired by this season and the Art of Giving where it counts the most - we embrace December and all the wonderful things about the upcoming holiday, whatever you believe in. We hope to inspire you to not only give to your near and dear ones this coming month, but also to a cause well beyond your familiar zone , a cause close to your heart.
We try to host a donation class every month, sometimes twice per month - it makes us happy and as we feel incredibly blessed to do what we love, have shelter and love around us - to give back comes natural. This Friday 1st December our dear friend Mirjam Wagner will guide us through a Gratitude Practice and all donations will go towards Allen Graham Charity For Kids. We have come to know this charity through our dear yogi friend Simon Hill. The charity is based on the island and they help care for disadvantaged children and young adults who have not had the opportunity to develop skills or had access to the most basic needs . This charity also delivers over 700 christmas gifts to children in need. We really hope to see you there!
Also on Saturday 2 December we will host one of our last meditation practices " The Art Of Stillness " at Fundacio Joan Miro . We have loved this collaboration guiding beginners and advanced into mediation in front of these grand paintings and to be in stillness with others.. It has been a beautiful experience for all the teachers involved. After collecting the money donated for these meditations we will donate all of it to another children's charity called Fundacio Nazaret which is also based here on the island. It will be handed over before Christmas so that they can share the money for christmas gifts. The children of this charity have also been invited to a private tour of the Joan Miro Museum.
We offer some more treats for your mind and soul on Monday 4th December.....
You can receive a healing session with the tibetan bowls right after our morning class at 11.30 in the small shala. Jack who has played with us before, will set up his deeply sacred bowls in the small shala* and right after the regular morning practice those who want can go into the small shala to receive both individual healing through the bowls and in a group. The session will take no longer than 40 min and will cost 15€. We can highly recommend this and the benefits and healing from these sacred bowls is quite something. *Please note that our beginners class on Monday Dec 4 is cancelled as Karin is away in Sweden.
To honor the Full Moon we will also offer a mantra singing and meditation after the evening practice in the large shala from 8pm - 8.30pm. We will be guided by Veronica Ghio into healing mantras and meditation. The cost for this is 8 euros.
For our German Friends who are new to yoga. Frank is offering a two hour Beginners workshop taught in German which will take place in the smaller shala from 6pm - 8pm. For those who would like to join together to eat something after the course, we will book a table in local restaurant. The cost per class is 25€ (the evening meal is optional and not included in the class price)
Continuing the winter spirit we are happy to welcome David Lurey back to Earth Yoga for his winter warming weekend! This takes place on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th December. Spaces are beginning to fill up so please get in touch if you would like us to reserve you a place.
We are also happy to introduce two deeply nourishing Restorative Classes before Christmas with Sarah .
The first one will take place on Wednesday 13 December at 2 pm and the second one on Wednesday 20th December at 2 pm.
Bono Cards accepted . Restorative yoga is allowing yourself to be fully supported with bolsters , blankets and straps to completely let go and receive the benefits of calming the nervous system. A blessing for the hectic soul.

This class is taught by Katja and she looks forward to welcoming you!
Last but not least .....our dear friends who are part of A Christmas Carol will perform again this year at the Sala Mozart in the Auditorium. This is a wonderful adaptation of the Charles Dicken's classic with music, english language and a cast including many well known faces from Earth Yoga! Please join us and book your ticket at www.auditoriumpalma.com . This is a wonderful way of getting into the christmas spirit and supporting a local theatre company with an international cast!
We wish you peace, heart and soulful practice and as always- thank you for allowing us to do what we love the most - teach and share heart and love
With Love
