I hope you had a wonderful summer and are still enjoying the lightness of the late summer days, the bounty of harvest time, and the shifting of the season.
Flow Effortlessly Into Fall - with the tools given in Classical Yoga. Now is the time to refocus, organise, plan and gather our energies for the fall season. See Poster below with info on upcoming classes....
Some of the themes that arise at this time of year are - Letting go - resistance - release - FEELING RESISTANCE FULLY and being with it, breathing through it, allowing it to unfold and shift with our conscious attention. Lung health is a focal point at this time of year, as is the digestive system (with all this wonderful food, and cooler weather weare going to start eating stews and soups and pies and muffins again mmmmm!) The emotions that tend to arise in Fall are -grief and sadness - this comes with letting go.
Classical Yoga gives us practical, tried and true methods for our lives in every moment. Take the time for your own self nourishment and notice how it enables you to rise to the tasks of your life with joy and ease. In these changing times it is more than a pleasure to take time for creativity and self care - it is our responsibility! Whatever you choose to do, enjoy it with your whole being and let it nurture your spirit so you radiate truth and love.
Blessings!

Yoga Basics
Tuesdays & Thursdays 9am-10am
$98 - 4 weeks/8 classes
July 6th - 29th
New to Yoga? Learn the basics in this 4 week introduction to the ancient teachings. Yoga is about awareness- awareness of body, mind and breath. The Rishis or researchers of yoga observed natural cycles, plants and animals and developed practices and teachings to create harmony and balance in human beings. Yoga is so much more than stretching your muscles, improving your golf game, or trying to look good in those new leggings - although it will help all three of these! :-).
These classes will take you through a step by step process and give you a solid foundation for your practice. We will learn correct alignment in simple poses (asanas), gentle breathing practices to calm the body and mind, and methods to release tension. Bring your willingness to try and your sense of humor. Everyone welcome, especially the absolute beginner!
Please register by July 1st by emailing sevacentre@gmail.com
You can also register in person at the July 1st Canada Day festivities in downtown Grand Forks, at the Granby Dance Studio table.

Photos from Yoga Funshop with Maitreyi
A big thank you to all who participated in Maitreyi's Yoga Funshop June 2010 - a wonderfully relaxing, heart opening and grounding day was had by all. This group continues to meet monthly - a Satsang - to continue our practice and support one another to embody the principles of classical yoga!

Yoga Bija Level 1 Training - Starting June 5th 2010
Grand Forks once again welcomes Maitreyi, Yogacharini from India this June. (Click on poster to enlarge and view).
Maitreyi is returning to offer her Yoga Bija program - Level 1 of her Foundation Course (which is also the fist stage of the 200 hr teacher training.) You may have participated in her workshops last May, which were offered to give an experience of the Classical Yoga teachings. This course is more in depth and will take us on an evolutionary journey into ourselves.
Prepare to gently yet purposefully create positive shifts and transform!
One day Funshop June 5th - Register by May 31st for $150, after June 1st $190.
No previous yoga experience is necessary to participate. All those who are passionate about tuning in to a harmonious reality will naturally be drawn to this course. A willingness to look at one's lifestyle, be with one's fears and pain, and release them will be a necessary quality, along with the capacity to look a the humor in one's life. Both those who would like to teach, as well as those who simply wish to learn more about Classical Yoga for themselves are welcome.
Kindly note this is not a drop in class - although the one day opening workshop on June 5th is open to all, the rest of the program requires commitment to be present.
Yogacharini Maitreyi is a practical Mystic and the founder of Arkaya. She has taught a wide variety of people, from Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka, prisoners in Sweden, yoga teachers in Vancouver to children and CEOs in India. She is a published writer with over 100 articles on Yoga and Self awareness. She is one of the youngest members of the Advisory Board of the World Yoga Council in Europe. She is also a Senior Teacher in the Yoga Association Of British Columbia. For more information see her website www.arkaya.net
