Ancient Remedy for Modern Stress

Namaste Yogis & Yoginis! Are you ready for the New Year?!

I want to start off with a heart-warming testimonial from one of my Yoga students, who was moved to email me after she received my last newsletter – here it is, with her permission:

“Happy 85th birthday Grace!
I'm a quiet participant of your Adult Ed. sessions for the past almost 5 years. You introduced me to Yoga, which cured my tension headaches when nothing else would. Aspects of Yoga helped me through the completion of my Ph. D degree, the start of my 2 pregnancies, many sleepless nights, and a recent bout of siatic pain from carrying around my 25 lb. one-year-old! I wish I could practice more, but what you have taught has changed my life for the better.
Thank you.
Susan G”

HAPPAUGE ADULT ED YOGA CLASSES START ON TUESDAY, MARCH 9TH

Two classes are being offered – early class AND later class will both offer BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE. Those who have been studying with me for years are encouraged to join the later class, so that we can move more quickly through the asanas; otherwise, as you all know, we have to start from square one with the breathing! Any questions? call me at 631-348-7199, or call the Scope office - 631-360-0800.

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO EXPERIENCE A YOGA RETREAT IN THE BAHAMAS?

If so, join me for the first week in March (when snows may be blanketing New York!) at the Sivananda Yoga Retreat on Paradise Island -- two yoga classes a day (all levels), two delicious totally vegetarian meals camping style, al fresco, the gorgeous Caribbean at your doorstep, morning and evening meditation, interact with yogis from all over the world. I took my Teacher Training at this Retreat. For more info – click on www.sivanandabahamas.org or www.sivananda.org/nassau.

My Regular Yoga Offerings at the Islandia studio:

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EAR CANDLING?

I have my ears candled on a regular basis. DOROTHY KOZLOWSKI, Ear Candler Extraordinaire, has been candling ears for more than ten years. You may think you are going hard-of-hearing, when it may just be wax build-up. In any case, it’s good to keep your ears clean and healthy – for more info call Dorothy: 631-255-2063.

FULL MOON MEDITATION

In the Islandia Studio – Small group/meditation/readings/ discussion and shared wholesome lite refreshments. 8:00 PM to 10 PM ------ FREE
BEST WISHES FOR A HEALTHY, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR ----- GRACE/DURGA

Woman, Art & Sakti

Inherent in each person is the power to create. That power, in Sanscrit, is termed Sakti. Sakti is usually understood to be divine inspiration, or sometimes referred to as one's Muse. It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you a woman whose art is informed by this universal power, and manifests in her depictions of nature's undulations.

Provy Munafo'

Born in Boxhill (Melbourne) Australia, Ms Munafo' lives and has a studio in the commune of Villa Franca T., Messina, Sicily, Italy. She has a diploma in Applied Arts from the Institute of Arts of Messina, and has a degree from the Academy of Fine Arts of Reggio Calabria.

Ms. Munafo' is a teacher, and for many years is actively pursuing an artist's career, distinguishing herself in regional and national exhibits and competitions. She has had one-woman shows and group exhibitions in several Italian cities.
