Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 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. NEWSLETTER from Purple Valley 1. A Frequently Asked Question is: When is the best time to visit Purple Valley? And the answer is, November until mid-December, and then from mid-January until we close at the beginning of April. From May to September it is monsoon season here in Goa, and it gets too hot to practice Ashtanga from mid April unless you practice at night. Even then it’s really hot, as the weather builds for the monsoon like a huge storm. Right now, its perfect from dawn until about mid-day, and then again from about 4pm and into the evening. The climate is perfect too over the Christmas and New Year period but classes get fairly busy then. 2. The programme of Workshops for the 2003/04 season at the new Purple Valley Retreat continues to fill out. We already have a couple of big names coming and several other slots earmarked for some very interesting teachers. Email our Programmes Director, Denise Martin-Harker, at denise, to be sent the Programme by email when it is finalized. (Those who have already emailed are on the list – it will be ready to go by the end of March, and you will be able to book then for the next season.) 3. We have to tell you about the Dawn Chorus that accompanies our early morning Mysore-style class which starts daily at 7am: The chorus starts at about 7.15, and anyone who is familiar with the European or North American Dawn Chorus will recognize the enthusiasm, resonance and pure delight of the bird song, but all the noises are so different and fascinating from those of Europe and the US. It is hard to distinguish any songs that are familiar or identify the birds, but the cacophony is full of extraordinary trills, whistles, calls and harmonies. It is sometimes difficult to keep focused on your practice, the noise is so remarkable. It lasts until about 8am then gradually lessens, although new birds take up the call through the day. There is never a moment when the bird song here is not impressive. 4. The new Students Gallery page on the web site is finally working, thanks to Beth Wade. If you are or have ever been a student at Purple Valley, please send Annie at annie your digital picture and a few words about what you are doing, and we’ll be pleased to add you to the Gallery.

Though you may crave something heavy and creamy, you may begin to notice that your system feels sluggish afterward. Or, after eating one of your favorite spicy meals, you may end up with a painful feeling of fire in the belly. As I began to pay more attention to my body's response to food, I realized that just one morning cup of coffee gave a me a jolt of energy that then left me feeling anxious and exhausted for the rest of the day.
