Happy Solstice Fundraisers!

The two Yoga Fundraisers brought in over 720 dollars which Ruth matched.

Half went to Grandmothers House and half to Anderson House's Christmas Fund. Here's the link to learn about Grandmother's House www.ncpei.com/programs_grandmothers_house.php

Thanks to all - it was really great to have the room full of Yogis spreading good cheer!

And thanks to those that couldn't make it but contributed also!

Have a wonderful holiday season and see you in the new year!

"We show up,
burn brightly in the moment,
live passionately,
and when our work is done, 
we step back and let go.

Victory to our spirits,
peace to all beings."

biff mithoefer - yin yoga

What a great workshop! I think everyone in attendance was happy to be there!
 
Yin Yoga is such a good way to release body tension and what a lovely way to doit with poems and music and silence. Loved the anatomy talk and the intro toTaoism.
 
Biff will be back – we haven’t worked out the dates yet but he really liked ithere and will bring his wife next time and take a little holiday. He will teach aweekend workshop which will allow more people to attend with less schedulejuggling.
 
I did look into the best way to get Biff’s book the Yin Yoga Kit and really theeasiest and cheapest is from Amazon – either.ca or .com if you do not orderonline let me know as I do regularly.
 
Biff is the authour of the Yin Yoga Kit and is a Yin Yoga instructor at theOmega Institute in New York state. www.biffmithoeferyoga.com

Yoga Retreat in Mexico March 17th to 24th 2012

 We are pleased to invite you to a special Yoga retreat in one of Mexico’s ancient historic areas. Our location is Akal ki, a green and self-sufficient eco-resort located on a sweet lagoon in the heart of the Mayan jungle. Akal ki is conveniently located to important archeological sites and to the capital of the state of Quintana Roo, where the rich culture of the region is ours to experience.

  

Step out of your daily routine to refresh, strengthen, open your horizons and celebrate!  Come and immerse yourself in this truly nurturing experience for body, mind, soul, and spirit.
 
Meditation, Kundalini (in the style of Yogi Bhajan) Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga are a daily offering under the knowledgeable and intuitive guidance of Gabriela Larranaga, Ruth Richman (Atmabir Kaur) and Kim Curlett.  As you engage in these practices you will experience an expanded awareness of Self, a deeper sense of ease in both body and mind and a desire to celebrate life to its fullest.
 
Step off the deck of your beautiful thatched roofed cabana, into the sweet lagoon.  Single, double, triple, and quadruple occupancy is offered.  Cabanas are designed to give maximum privacy in shared spaces. In a cabana for 4 two beds are side by side and two beds are separated by half walls.
 
Enjoy three meals a day freshly prepared from natural and local ingredients, many grown in Akal ki’s organic garden, with the authentic flavor of the region. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices.
 
In this place of astonishing natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere you will find many opportunities for deep rest, study, outdoor exercise, play and time alone in nature. Swim in the clear, clean waters of the lagoon and explore past and present Mexico. One of the very precious gifts of these retreats is the friendships that are formed and the deepening of existing ones.
