[Guest guest]

NOTICEBOARD of YOGA COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS and NEWSLETTER with the compliments

of PURPLE VALLEY DROP-IN YOGA CENTRE, ANJUNA, GOA (www.yogagoa.com) where

Ashtanga Vinyasa enthusiasts and friends gather to practise, learn, teach, chat

and relax.

 

If you are receiving this Newsletter and Noticeboard for the first time, please

note that it is here for you to use. It is a free facility for making

announcements, to look for long-lost friends or to discuss health and healing

matters. It goes to over 4,000 individuals and groups around the world, who

NOTICEBOARD 7

Discover Your Deeper Self at DCYOGA, Washington, USA.

We all seek an inner sense of peace and yearn for connection - connection to who

we really are and to those around us. As human beings we often struggle. We long

to experience the freedom of self-acceptance and the joy of love in our lives,

yet despite that longing, many of us find that sense of peace and connection to

be elusive. The love that we feel doesn't quite match the picture of what we

hoped it could be. What if it was possible to find a sense of inner peace,

connection and love that profoundly impacts your life and the lives of people

around you?

The next Inner Journey is on July 17-20, 2003 at the Wellspring Retreat Center

in Gaithersburg, MD. Please email Howard Ross howross or check out

www.innerjourneyseminars.com for more information.

SUMMER WORKSHOPS: AWAKENING THE SPINE WORKSHOP with Karyn Prud'homme on June

21st. This workshop is designed to promote greater flexibility and ease of

movement in your spine. Tight hips often play a part in spine tension, so we

will begin our practice with movements designed to open the pelvis as well as

the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine. We will then explore many yoga postures

and variations of spinal twisting which increase greater flexibility in the

spine. Take your practice to the next level as you release holding and gain

greater freedom of movement!

THAI YOGA BODYWORK WORKSHOP with Natalie Newell, Certified Lotus Palm Thai

Yoga Bodyworker and Kripalu Yoga Instructor on July 12th. Thai Yoga Bodywork,

a unique one-on-one experience, is performed fully-clothed on a floor mat where

the practitioner guides the receiver through a flowing sequence of yoga-based

stretches while applying rhythmic pressure along energy pathways of the body.

Thai Massage is based on the theory that invisible lines of life force run

throughout the body. Pressure is never exerted on the bones; rather, the

muscles are worked and released after being slowly loosened. Movements and

stretches are always gradual, so you will wind up in various yoga-related poses

such as Bow, Plow, and Cobra, without much, if any, strain.
