Dear Friends and Yogis," So let us, in gently walking on the earth, leave behind a simple legacy- that we loved the earth, we were new warriors, mystic warriors who had the courage to try to save it." From the book Mother Earth Spirituality by Ed McGaa, Eagle ManWe are all motivated by the words of Albert Schweitzer: " The noblest instinct of them all is the reverence for all life"We are looking forward to welcoming the change in seasons, September and our dear friends who may have been traveling over the summer. We have had a wonderful summer here with more yogis visiting from all over the world, both students and amazing guest teachers. Thank you to all of you who help spread the word of Earth Yoga as we hear again and again that a lot of our new students come from word of mouth.The heat affects our practice in a different way for us all, some of us love it (!) and some of us feel like the fire ( the pitta ) can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. The beauty of your yoga practice is that you can always slow it down and find a practice that soothes rather than overheats us. If you needed more energy (fire) we have had plenty of that too and just a few weeks ago we enjoyed the teachings of Dylan Werner. Dylan is a master of anatomy and inversions, so thank you for the knowledge and inspiration shared by him and our students!As the summer allows most of us to spend more time in nature , at sea and simply just immersed in the outdoors, we also become aware of how rich our lives are because of the beauty of nature ...so as we move into fall, take a moment and really see where you as a human can give thanks and respect our World. We will host more donation classes during the next few months to give back to organizations that help support and make us aware of what needs to be done in order to tread more softly on this planet.We have some exciting events taking place in September:
Beginning with a Yoga meets Dance and Music Workshop on Saturday 3rd September (17.30-19.00). It will be hosted by Nicole who is both a yoga teacher and movement teacher. This will be for all of you who love to flow with music and who also love to dance. It will be less focus on alignment and more of just finding the joy of movement to music. This workshop is donation based and open for all levels. Please come, pay what you can and enjoy the sacred movement!
We are very happy to announce that Chris Chavez

Dear Friends, yogis, summer lovers and wonderful beings," Beauty is invisible to the eye, for one sees only with the heart"
The Little PrinceWe hope that you are all enjoying the summer, the sea and the freedom that these long summer nights bring. The summer brings a change in our social life, our daily schedule becomes a bit more free giving us more room for spontaneous gatherings, swims or just the fact that we can stay up a bit longer ..........As we step deeper into the path of our practice, whatever that may be for you, we also learn when to step back, nurture, and draw within, even with all the wonderful gatherings that the summer brings.We encourage you to dive deeper not only into the sea but into that one practice that lifts your spirits and that really allows you to connect with something much higher than yourself. There comes a time when we must stop searching and sampling different practices but choose to instead dive deeper. That takes commitment and courage, but that is how we can evolve and break through.We have had a very busy spring with many teacher trainings happening at Earth Yoga. We were so proud to host so many wonderful teachers: Jeanne Heileman, David Lurey, Mirjam Wagner, Tara Judelle and Scott Lyons. It is a blessing and an honor to see the faces and minds open up through these great trainings.Now we are back to our regular schedule and we are so grateful for all the yogis who come to practice with us on a daily basis from all over the world. As our regular students and friends leave to enjoy their summer holidays, we welcome tourists and clients who are either vacationing here on the island or have this as their second home. 
This coming week we will receive 20 yogis mostly from Sweden joining us in our "Yoga Summer Boost". We are 4 teachers teaching both Hatha, Yin , Vinyasa, Kundalini and Ishta Yoga. These yogis will recieve more than 13 hours of yoga over the course of 4 days and also be given time for more alignment and some soul searching. This is something we plan to do on a regular basis, so do keep up to date with our newsletter to see when the next one is! Our teachers are Sarah, Sandra, Malin and Linda.
On Friday 15th July a well known teacher from Sweden called Sam Aziz will be teaching the usual 10am Vinyasa Class. Sam has an extensive yoga background in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin and Restorative Yoga. This will be a regular scheduled class so Bonocards are accepted. Just come along 10mins before the class begins to sign in and take your spot.
Our summer schedule in July and August remains the same apart from no yoga for beginner classes on Wednesdays and Fridays and no Vinyasa in Spanish with Mateo on Wednesday evenings until September. For the most up to date schedule please visit our website www.earthyoga.es.
Please note that our workshop weekend inAugust with Dylan Werner is now full. Dylan will be teaching a strong flow which will include many arm balances and will be sharing his techniques for going upside down. Please contact us at reception if you would like to be put on a waiting list if a space becomes available.Do take care, stay true to your heart and soul.LoveSandra and the Earth Yoga Team* SAVE THE DATE *A pop up store will be held here at Earth Yoga on Thursday 14th July.

Dear Yogis,"On this path, effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure. Even a little effort toward spiritual awareness will protect you from the greatest fear."The Bhagavad Vita , Eknath Easwaran translationWe continue to grow together and welcome Spring with hope and the sense of re birth. We were proud to sponsor an amazing documentary called " Down to Earth " that was viewed last week at CineCiutat Cinema. A beautiful true story of a family who leave everything behind and travel with their 3 children to live with Native Americans in America and then to travel the world to visit, know and connect with the shamans of many different cultures of today. It was a true inspiration of the importance of Grace for our world, each other and most of all nature. It was also a true testament to that spirituality can be practiced in many ways ...March was good month for Earth Yoga, with your help we raised over 260 euros through our donation practice to Fundacion Nazareth. Katja and Dr Marcus Klische hosted a 3 day meditation course and Katja also taught two wonderful workshops on our chakras over the Easter weekend (another way to celebrate spirituality) Thank you Katja for showing up and teaching when many of us were off eating too much chocolate! We were also featured in two local magazines, The Daily Bulletin and The Islander .The next few months will be a busy and inspiring time for us here at Earth Yoga.
We are proud to host David Lurey and Mirjam Wagner´s 300 hour Teacher Training (9 - 22 April) which is currently sold out. They will be using the shala for 10 days and it will be good to meet and coincide with other yogis from all over Europe through this. Our regular classes will continue as normal during this time.We are also honored to have Tara Judelle host her 300 hour training with us from 24 April until 5 May. Her training is completely full and will run for 10 days. During her training our regular classes will move into the small shala . It will affect us all but we hope to make these 10 days as smooth as possible for you. We will not have a problem with any of our off peak hour classes, but for the peak hour classes at 10-11.30 or 18.30-20.00, there will be a first come first served policy for the 10 days. So, to ensure your place, please come a bit earlier to practice and we will all have to remember to keep noise to a minimum as there will be a practice going on in the main shala. For any of our clients who have an unlimited bono and for some reason can not get a spot during these days, we will happily extend your unlimited bono for an extra week.
We have pleasure in offering a Capoeira Workshop on Saturday 16 April (12.00 - 14.30). Wellington will introduce the basic Capoeira techniques including songs and rhythms of the Capoeira rituals. To save your spot please contact Wellington on (+34 604 34 20 08)

To continue our Yogi of the month theme, we would like to introduce our
April Yogi of the month : Almu
Alma was born in Madrid and has since then lived in many places. She has moved between Madrid, Barcelona, London, back to Madrid and all over the mainland. Her first time on Mallorca was in 2009. Almu likes change and does not mind moving to new places. She says “that is how life goes.” Almu studied a dual degree of Law and Business, for which she did a semester abroad in London, and now she works in traffic control. Almu took up yoga when she was in her early teens and lived in Madrid. Due to moving around, she has done yoga in a number of locations, but has also practiced a variety of sports, such as sailing and diving. When she became pregnant, she took up yoga again and practiced continuously throughout her pregnancy. Almu said “that it helped her a lot and labour only took an hour.” She is grateful for having taken up yoga again and felt as though she received a lot of support from the practice and the teachers. After moving to Valencia, she found a studio that she really liked and for the first time got more engaged with the philosophy of yoga, pranayama and chanting. Here, she also studied Sanskrit. Since then, Almu has had a dedicated yoga practice and, living back on Mallorca, comes to Earth Yoga almost daily. Almu says that she loves Earth Yoga because, “it is like a shelter” where you can come after a tough day to disconnect and the studio, “feels like home” to her. We are delighted to have such a wonderful and dedicated yogi like Almu practice with us. Almu is very involved in our Earth Yoga community and has made some great suggestions for the studio. Stay as you are, Almu, and keep up the great practice!
Sadly our wonderful intern Kim is leaving us this week and we can not thank her enough for all the hours, work and energy she has put forth toward moving Earth Yoga forward. Thank You Kim and the good news is that she plans to be back this summer so we will definitely see her back at Earth Yoga in 2015.LoveSandra and The Earth Yoga Team*SAVE THE DATE*
