here in Tourtour,

for their non-yogi friends and family. There’s also brilliant food and drink

on offer in this neck of the woods. lots of sports from tennis and

mountain-biking to para-gliding, the warm climate, the short travel time, the

fun company, the long evenings, the lightness of it all - really something to

look forward to in 2003. [not to forget those amazing moments of working and

transforming your body, mind and soul during a good yoga lesson] Best wishes,

om shanti. Migo.

NOTICEBOARD 8

Return to Stillness says Andrea Ferretti, editor of Yoga Journal:

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras teaches, "Yogah citta vrtti nirodhah," or, "Yoga is the

cessation of movements in the consciousness." While I'm certainly familiar with

this verse, it never hurts to have someone remind me about the importance of

quieting my mind. In a recent yoga class, the teacher reminded us several

times to "invite in stillness." The first few times she said it, I unconsciously

responded by taking a deep, relaxing breath. Eventually this sense of deep

relaxation gave way to contentment. As I continued to let go and surrender to

the present moment, I recognized inwardly that this sense of ease and releasing

fear is why I do this practice. I invite you to "invite in stillness." You may

feel stillness throughout your practice or only in one moment of your entire

practice, but you can still allow that sense of freedom, openness, and joy to

permeate your life. Namaste, Andrea Ferretti
