Noticeboard 14 from Purple Valley Yoga Centre, Goa.

[Guest guest]

NOTICEBOARD of YOGA-RELATED ANNOUNCEMENTS and NEWSLETTER from PURPLE VALLEY YOGA

CENTRE, ANJUNA, GOA (www.yogagoa.com) where ashtanga yoga enthusiasts and others

gather to practise, learn, teach, chat and relax.

 

NEWSLETTER: The weather in Goa is now hot and sultry, with the rains

becoming more persistent. Purple Valley is currently shut until November,

although we are taking Package Deal bookings for next season already. A Package

Deal offers accommodation and unlimited yoga with numbers limited by the number

of rooms at the Hotel Bougainvillea (currently 10) so if you are thinking about

taking one please book as soon as you know your travel plans, to avoid

disappointment. Have a look at www.yogagoa.com

 

Gypsie (chapotin) sends the following updatefrom Goa:

THE MANGOES ARE HERE!

The monsoon started on the 5th of May. For those who braved the heat of April

and May,

the reward had come at last: All season long, we remembered that one day, just

as the water in the

sea would warm up to become like a hot spring, the mangoes would show up ripe,

juicy, colorful, fragrant and with great different tastes. There is nothing like

the Friday market in Mapusa, where more than a hundred women, coming from

different places, sit on the ground with their baskets loaded with mangoes. The

smell is extraordinary. You never forget it. There are many varieties,

The foreigners have left, and it is local fare here now. Only a half dozen

people on the beach, and in the evening a few Indian families who have come for

holidays. All the restaurants are closed except for Curlies by the sea. At low

tide, the sea is usually ok to bathe in, but at high tide, it can become furious

and threatening.

The Anjuna flea market is down to just a few stalls. I have already shaken hands

with so many merchants and wished them a happy return to their home lands. With

those who are left, bargains are a great high.

The sky is often gray in the morning but sunny later on, and everybody is hot.

Fans are rolling, people are sweating, many of the wells are dry and the rains

are very welcome!

With love, Gypsie.

petra widauer petrangeli

Hi, My name is Petrangeli, I am a girl from Austria. I just jumped on my

yoga-way, absolute beginner, and would love to learn more about the ashtanga

form, but in Austria the possibilities are a bit rare. Do you maybe know some

places where it is good to learn from the beginning? Could you please recommend

me some good teachers in Europe, or as well somewhere else? Could you please

help me? I would be very grateful for the smallest advice. Thank you so much in

advance and have a nice day! Hotter than hot (yes, currently it is indeed very

very hot) summer-greetings from Vienna, Petrangeli Widauer
