Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 NOTICEBOARD of YOGA COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS and NEWSLETTER with the compliments of PURPLE VALLEY DROP-IN YOGA CENTRE AND RETREAT, GOA (www.yogagoa.com) where Ashtanga Vinyasa enthusiasts and friends gather to practise, learn, teach, chat and relax. PURPLE VALLEY NEWSLETTER: Spend Christmas and New Year with Lucy and John Scott at Purple Valley Retreat, Goa at the first workshop at our new Retreat location. Go to www.yogagoa.com to book. Only 12 residential places left. Flights to Goa are already getting booked up for the next season, particularly the charters which are the cheapest and most convenient way to get there and fly direct from Europe to Goa non-stop. The alternatives are the scheduled flights which fly to Mumbai or elsewhere, and require a connecting internal flight, train or coach journey. Specialist European/Goa charter companies are GoAway (www.goaway.co.uk) and Jewel In The Crown Holidays (www.jewelholidays.com) Another recommended web site for air flights is www.grabaflight.com or www.lastminute.com American students often find that the best way to get to Goa is to fly to Europe on a scheduled flight and then connect with a charter going direct from Europe to Goa. But however you get there the message is clear: Book soon to get the cheapest seats: They don’t get cheaper nearer the time, in fact the number of charter seats does not meet demand. Of course you can always get scheduled seats right up to the day of travel, but they will, by then, be more expensive. NOTICEBOARD 1 The YogaShop, worldwide providers of mats, videos, books and all other yoga essentials, is hosting a Vinyasa Flow Workshop with Shiva Rae from 22nd to 24th August – This is Shiva’s only European date in 2003.

NOTICEBOARD 30 "Ashtanga, NY" Film Screenings On September 1, 2001, the master of Ashtanga Yoga, Pattabhi "Guruji" Jois traveled to New York City with his family to teach a one-month workshop. Ashtanga students from all over the world gathered in lower Manhattan to attend his classes. Since Guruji and his family arrived ten days before, they experienced September 11 as New Yorkers and were as horrified as anyone else. But rather than freeze in the face of tragedy, Guruji continued teaching. Though much more subdued, his demeanor and practices took on heightened importance in the days after the attacks, bringing calm to his followers in a trying time. "Ashtanga, NY" is an inspirational film that documents a poignant period in many New Yorkers' lives. Directors Caroline Laskow and Mary Wigmore balance Ashtanga yoga's spiritual significance with its effect on the busy lives of New Yorkers and remind us that yoga is not just an aerobics trend, it is a spiritual experience intended to bring s! olace to the mind and soul as much as to the body. For information and future screenings, email ashtangafilm. See also www.ayri.org/projects.html for screening updates. Upcoming Screenings: Indiefest Chicago - August 4th Santa Barbara Museum of Art - August 22nd San Francisco World Film Festival - October 23-25th NOTICEBOARD 31 Don't try to correct, suppress or cultivate anything.
