Dearest Kula,
For a while we have been working to create our Kula website, so it is a deep honour to be launching at this time, in a month I love and at a time when we are all deepening our intentions and new year resolutions.
This year I turned 40 and I have been celebrating this turning point by thinking about what is really important in my life and by giving thanks and gratitude to all of my teachers and to my students and my family.
I feel so grateful for the blessings that have seeped into my life with my love of Anusara Yoga!
I am so grateful to the Grandmothers whose grand gathering I attended in 2004, for without this, I would never have met John Friend and all of the amazing teachers and friends that have poured into my world since then.
Our Kula inspires me with their warmth, friendliness and compassion. They don't sweat the small stuff and they understand that just showing up and breathing counts for something, it is how we offer back. Sometimes this is all we can do.
We have a fun lively class every Thursday for beginners to Yoga. They laugh a lot, but this week they were inspired to offer their practice to Haiti, to support through prayer and the movement of the body, the highest intention of our practice. Their stillness, the depth of their offering was magnificent. See how else you can help support Haiti right now.
As well as the public class schedule, you will be able to find here articles on poses, reviews of workshops and comments by the Kula, as well as discover what we are up to and decide when you would like to join us, or how we can serve you in your journey of Yoga.
In February, there is a Yogathon and a workshop on Myth and Philosophy and our Kula is planning a Miami trip for workshops with our teacher, John Friend. This is not to be missed and we'll be joined by lots of our friends from Trinidad where I am currently leading the Level One Immersion.
In March, we are very excited to be welcoming Sianna Sherman and Gina Salá for Sianna's Harmony Tour 2010. Sianna is one of Anusara's top teachers and her gentleness and passion for yoga will take us all deeper into the practice. We are so honoured too, to be welcoming back Gina who is an accomplished musician and Bhakti Yogini, she has also been the lead singer for Cirque de Soleil's 'O'.
Our workshops and events page will keep you informed of everything coming up including Public Events. This February 7th is our first Yogathon to raise funds to support our volunteer operation, many teachers have agreed to come together in the day long event. Come enjoy the day with us, but more than that, help us support our island by giving back time and care where it is needed.
I give thanks to all of those people who are supporting the projects that we are working on and who see that this vision of unity is more than possible, it is probable with the right intention.
So Much Kula (Kula is the Sanskrit word for community of the heart, clan, family), is inviting you to view what is happening in our community, we are inviting you to the heart of the Caribbean, its people, its diversity, its friendliness and to be part of our community of yogis.
Welcome Home!
Love and Light,
Christy
