NOTICEBOARD of YOGA COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS and NEWSLETTER with the compliments

of PURPLE VALLEY YOGA CENTRE, ANJUNA, GOA (www.yogagoa.com ) where Ashtanga

yoga enthusiasts and friends gather to practise, learn, teach, chat and relax

when in India.

 

NEWSLETTER:

 

1. Purple Valley made an auspicious start to the 2002/03 season by opening on a

New Moon day and the first day of Diwali on November 4th. The local community

celebrated with firecrackers and dancing in the streets! In the first week

classes were quiet but those who were there included been some very dedicated

yogis giving great energy to the shala. Now in our second week, the class

numbers are building and the energy levels growing. With a whole five month

season stretching in front of us, we hope to see some great improvements to

practices at all levels. We know that many students are planning to drop in for

a few weeks R&R, either on their way to Mysore of afterwards, and we also have

many people from all over Europe taking advantage of the increased number of

charter flights now on offer.

2. We are pleased to be able to pre-announce our first Workshop in the new

Purple Valley shala at Assagao, 3Kms inland from our original drop-in centre.

The location is peaceful in the bottom of a tropical valley among teakwood

trees, bamboos, palms and much wildlife but no humans. Our first Workshop will

run in the first two weeks of March with Gwendoline Hunt leading an ‘Ashtanga

for the Over 50’s’ intensive. Email now to express your interest – the full

flyer and prices are still in production. Places will be limited to 20 (and we

know that 4 of those are already gone). We will work on a strict first-come

first-served basis, so if you are interested in coming to India to develop your

Ashtanga, and you were born before 1952, please email to get on the list and we

will inform you as soon as the details are finalised.

3. Our landline number has changed – Goa Telecom has added another digit without

warning. So if you want to talk to someone about drop-in Ashtanga in Goa or the

Ashtanga for the Over 50's Workshop, please telephone (00 91) 832 2268 643.

Please remember we are about 6 hours ahead of UK and Europe, and 12 hours ahead

of the USA.

THE SOUND OF SOUL, CHANTING WORKSHOP with Catherine Martin and Manchester Yoga.

Saturday,November 16th Chanting brings immediate happiness because it is the

direct connection

from the heart to the universal cosmos. Sound heals and soothes the soul in a

very deep way. Discovering your own sound is an absolutely fulfilling

experience. Come and experience the art of chanting. We will empty the mind of

worldly noise and slowly build a territory for the manifestation of divine

sounds. We will explore various chants from different traditions, using English

words and Sanskrit mantras. The practice of chanting is not aesthetic. It is

spiritual, and its first purpose is devotion, so we are all fully equipped to

participate. Catherine Martin certified Integral Yoga® Hatha Instructor and Zen

practitioner was trained at The National Ballet School of Toronto. She

toured in more than 25 countries and was involved in many cultural events as a

teacher, performer and choreographer. To register of for more information,

please contact: Manchester Yoga Center Manchester, NH www.nhyoga.com

Spiritual Emergency and Spontaneous Kundalini Awakening message from Pierre

Juneau in Canada. Dear Yoga Teachers, Most yoga teachers are aware that the

Kundalini is a reservoir of spiritual energy located at the base of the spine

and that once awakened, it is an immeasurable powerful transformational force of

beautiful divine spiritual energy. I have found that very few people are aware

of the Kundalini's sometimes difficult biological symptoms as it heals and

cleanses the entire being. These symptoms are what I wanted to bring to your

awareness. I went through what is called a "Spiritual Emergency" earlier in

January 2002 because of a raging Spontaneous Kundalini Awakening. I found lots

of info & solid research from International sources, including the Spiritual

Emergence Network. The Spiritual Emergence Network (SEN)

http://www.ciis.edu/comserv/sen.html is a non-profit organization founded by a

psychiatrist Dr. Stanislov Grof and his wife Christina after she expe!

rienced a Spontaneous Kundalini Awakening years ago. I only started Yoga in

April 2002 but I believe that it has positively contributed to allowing my body

to handle this new Kundalini energy. Thank you for being a Yoga teacher, you

contribution to people's lives is immeasurable! Blessings & Namaste, Pierre

Juneau Canada pjuneau For additional Kundalini info:
