YOGA IN ISLANDIA

Ancient Remedy for Modern Stress

JULY/AUGUST/SEPTEMBER ’08 NEWSLETTER
NAMASTE!

News Bulletin *** News Bulletin****

Two of my Yoga Students have published books! KARYN O’BIERNE wrote “Findings From The Hunting Party’s Scout” (Rainbow Books, Inc.) Karyn tells of her journey to spiritual awakening. She is a worship leader and treasurer for the Long Island Area Council for Unitarian Universalist congregations. Visit her website: www.Karyn.info

DIANA DANTUONO studied with me in Islandia, and asked if I thought she could become a Yoga teacher, as she was legally blind, but loved doing Yoga and wanted to share it with others. I said Yes, she could. Diana studied with Marianne Mitsinikos and Mokshapriya Shakti at Yoga Teacher Training Institute on L.I., becoming certified. She teaches at Pilgrim State Educational Dept. and other locations on L.I. Her instructional book is titled “It’s Time For Yoga, Roll Out The Mat: Experience a Yoga Class” published by LegworkTeam.com. She invites you to visit her website: www.itstimeforyoga.com
Special Note: A portion of book sales will be donated to Vitamin A Deficient Childhood Blindness.

This will be my fifth year – July 18-20 – Feminists from all over the country/world will attend – Conference theme is Global Feminism.

The May 10 Yoga Workshop Fund Raiser held by the Mid-Suffolk NOW chapter at The Neighborhood House, Setauket, was a financial success, thanks to all our supporters. Juliet Gobler is the lucky intern who will be our representative this year. We will continue this fund raiser workshop next Spring, and hope all readers of this newsletter will support the effort to sponsor a Women’s Studies College Student to the next National NOW Conference. Stay tuned!

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.
