NOVEMBER 2016 NEWSLETTER

Dear Yogis,

"If you want something you have never had, then you have got to do something you have never done"
Unknown

We hope this finds you well and that you are moving into this time of change with ease and grounding.  We are enjoying a ´second spring´here in Mallorca with green fields and beautiful nature to hike in.

Last month we welcomed Nico Luce to Earth Yoga. It was such a special weekend where he shared his teachings on both the physical practice of yoga and also his studies on The Bhagavad Vita and other yogic scriptures. In our October donation practice we also raised money for the Esporles Animal shelter.   We try each month to host a donation practice and over the years we have donated towards many charities including help for refugees, animal shelters, orphanages and hospital care for children. 

This month we will hold our donation practice on Thursday 24th November at 10am. All monies will go towards the Can GazĂ  Project. It´s a social project run by Mallorcan ex-priest. He lives with 30 homeless people in an old Finca outside Palma and he also feeds up to another 30 people from the street on a daily basis. If you are unable to make the donation class but would like to make a donation please talk to us a reception.

We are pleased to welcome back Nicole who will be offering another  Yoga meets Dance and Music Workshop on Saturday 5 November (17.30-19.00) Nicole 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 also very happy to introduce a workshop with our dear friend and yoga teacher Brent Mackay.  It will take place on Saturday 12 November (13.00 - 16.00)  Brent will use his magical way of teaching to offer timeless techniques to unlock your eternal energy which will incorporate Asana, Pranayama and Meditation. If you are interested in signing up please contact us at reception or email info@earthyoga.



We have added two new Meditation Practices to our schedule.....

In our Portals studio Agnes has begun teaching a new class on Mondays at 11.30 - 13.00. The class is called Moving into Meditation. This class uses breath, voice and movement to find your inner stillness.

In our Santa Catalina studio our kundalini teacher Jeanne will be offering a 30 minute Meditation with Mantra class. It takes place straight after our 10am Mindful Vinyasa class on Thursdays. Meditation with mantra is a very powerful means of silencing the incessant chatter of the mind to offer an oasis of peace, union and creativity and to raise consciousness.  The first mediation will be the Kirtan Kriya for emotional balance. The research on Kirtan kriya has been extensive within the yoga community and within the medical community, the amazing benefits have even been written up in the Huffington Post!  Come and enjoy 30 minutes of meditation technique explanation and practice after Sandra's morning class creates and opens the space to allow for transformation.  

For both classes all are welcome and no experience is necessary! 
 

And finally, as Tuesday 1 November is a fiesta we have decided to cancel our 10am morning class with Sarah and also our 19.45 Kundalini class with Jeanne. Agnes will continue to teach the 18.30 class. For our most up to date schedule please visit our website www.earthyoga.es
 
We hope to see you at Earth Yoga very soon.

Love
Sandra and the Earth Yoga Team

OCTOBER 2106 NEWSLETTER

Dear Friends

"For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, it's insides come out and everything changes. To someone who does not understand growth, it would look like complete destruction."
Unknown


We are hoping that you all feel the wonderful effects of  the cooler temperatures, the different colours of green coming back to the fields after the much needed rain,  and as always the chance for the healing effects of autumn to inspire you.   Autumn means a chance to begin again, another round of fulfilling dreams, commitments and your path before the new year takes hold.  It is also a chance to come back to yoga either for yourself in your own space or together in a community . We continue to think of new ways to inspire, give more and grow with you here at Earth Yoga.

Many of us had the opportunity to practice with Chris Chavez in September.  It was a heart felt practice full of challenges but with a sense of safety and grace. We really hope that Chris will join us again next year and a big thank you to all who came.
