APRIL 2017 NEWSLETTER

Dear Yogis,

"The Yogi, the Seer, the Shaman, the One that knows.....helps put the soul back into the world and helps to create a world that talks back to us, one where we hear the trees, rivers, mountains and clouds talk back to us"

As we move deeper in the transition from winter to spring we also learn and feel that balance needs to be a part of all we do. Warm and cold, darkness and light, active and still, dynamic and softness.

Part one of the 300 hour Advanced Tantra Flow Teacher Training with Jeanne Heileman has just been completed and it has been a privilege to watch growth, connection and more knowledge gained by our yogis taking this training. A big thank you to those of you who participated and to Jeanne for sharing her knowledge, wisdom and love for yoga. We also loved having Petros from Jivamukti Yoga here with us sharing his passion for yoga.  

We are currently in the middle of hosting our Yoga Boost where 4 paths of yoga meet yogis from other parts of Europe to inspire and learn about Hatha Yoga with Malin, Kundalini yoga with Linda, Ishta yoga with Sarah and Vinyasa yoga with Sandra. We will be hosting our third Yoga Boostfrom 4 - 7 July. This is open to all levels and is a wonderful chance to try different paths of yoga. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.

We are hosting special events through April and May and hope to see some of you with us:

MARCH 2017 NEWSLETTER

Dear Friends and Yogis,

" Ethics are vital. It is that simple. Think about what went into what you have and what effect it will have later on. Care. Be willing to try and fail. Don't make the perfect enemy of the good. The lesser of two evils may be a step forward. Or, there may be a third choice, a simpler one. Ethics. Let your daily life become a mindful one . Be curious. Be willing to listen. Be willing to be wrong. Be willing to be alone on your path. Be willing to change. "
By Waylon Lewis , Elephant Journal

Deeply inspired by change and real spring cleaning, inside and outside we are embracing warmer weather and blossoms all around . There is a sense of joy and life force that comes with warmer weather and the green fields and the almond trees showing their wonderful, sweet flowers.   We are embracing really evaluating what matters, what to hold on to and what to let go of.  

These are important questions and sometimes not always pleasant, but we must keep asking ourselves who we truly are and want to be and stand for what we believe in, even though it may be uncomfortable.   And as for relationships, material things that we tend to gather and all that stuff ...maybe now is a time to really clear out, not to buy more but to live more simply*

We are honored to welcome back our dear Jeanne Heileman who will return to teach Part 1 of her 300 Hour training (suitable for those who already have a 200 Hour background or simply want to deepen their practice ) and she will also teach an inspiring Arm Balance Workshop.   Her way of teaching is full of knowledge after more than 30 years on the yoga path. She is a master of alignment and has a deep understanding of all the philosophy that comes with yoga.    We have a few spaces left for the Tantra Flow Teacher Training that begins on Monday 20 March. For more information, please see our website and/or speak to Jay, Katja or Sandra who will be happy to talk you through what the training involves.

The Arm balance workshop on Saturday 18 March will be very hands on and Jeanne is a master of giving tips and safely guide you to poses you may not have mastered before. 

---

We are also incredibly excited to welcome Jivamukti Yoga teacher Petros Haffenrichter back to Earth Yoga. Petros visited us around 2 years ago and I think most of us that participated in his workshops and classes were blown away by his inspiring way of teaching and his way of weaving music, flow and intentions.   Petros will be teaching a few of our regular scheduled classes on Wednesday 15 March at 18.30-20.00 and also Monday 20 March at 10 -11.30am.    He will also be hosting a very inspiring set of workshops, be sure not to miss this as his travels take him around the world and it is rare to get him to come and visit.



We wish you a wonderful month full of happiness, nature and yoga.

Love 
Sandra, Jay, Katja and the rest of the  Earth Yoga Team

FEBRUARY 2017 NEWSLETTER

Dear Yogis,


"The important thing is this; to be able, at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become"
Charles Du Bos


We are blown away how fast this month has flown by and now we are already embarking on the second month of 2017. We can all feel the winds of change in the air but also the strong, courageous voices who are standing up for core values, love and empathy. We felt so much inspiration during the month of January, the amount of focus and dedicated practice and all the kindness that we are blessed with sharing here everyday at Earth Yoga.

Through your help we received and shipped off 4 car loads of warm clothes, shoes and boots for the refugees struggling with the cold in Greece. Our dear friend Almu initiated the project and Earth Yoga and Lucky Bodies became the collection point for about 2 weeks . We were overwhelmed by the amount of clothes and shoes that were brought in - Thank You !

 

We also hosted a Yin donation class with Mirjam Wagner who beautifully led us through 2 hours of stillness, chanting and Yin poses. All the donations ( almost 500 euros ) went to the Organization Ca'n Gaza here on the island.   Again a heartfelt Thank You for your generosity and Mirjam for her care and love.

We will continue with the path of Giving throughout February. This will be through our mobile care and donation box. We are collaborating again with Lucky Bodies & Happy Souls and together we will organize that the donation box moves from a different location each week for 8 weeks. We hope to raise as much money as we can to share with Dignity 360 another organization here on the island who work closely with the ground aid in Greece for Refugees. Next week that Box will be at the Lucky Bodies studios and we would love if you could not only give a small donation but also take a photo of you with the box #mallorcahumanity and share on the Mallorca Humanity Facebook page.   After the 8 weeks are up we plan to host a one time charity event in April where we will weave Music, Yoga, Drama, Photography and Dance in an evening to benefit the refugees. For more information please do get in touch with either Earth Yoga or Lucky Bodies & Happy Souls.
