Thanks to all who brought a dish to pass. We had a moderate turnout, as several members came down with various bugs going around.  Wishing them a speedy recovery.    Khaya’s husband Ed is on the mend and home from the hospital.  He still has a potential surgery to go through so keep them in your thoughts.  Looking forward to the New Year!

Dear members, just want you to know Khaya has advised that her spouse Ed had an event last Tuesday morning that has landed him in the hospital.  He will require future surgery and is also recovering form a fractured sacrum.  Please send Khaya and Ed your prayers and thoughts.  I’m sure they would enjoy hearing from you via cards or emails.

Kind Regards

It is with much sadness we are advised that Jan’s mother passed away last week.  Jan has indicated they don’t want  a memorial donation for Mom..just loving thoughts and a quick prayer for the family.  A private family service is being held today Monday,Oct 22nd. We send Jan a big hug and our loving thoughts.  I’m sure, in this day of electronics, she would find a call or hand signed card most comforting.  Char

Well I’m back form camping in the northern reaches of Ontario, Canada….what a beautiful area..

I just wanted members and friends to keep an eye out for all the activities we have in store for the next few months …check our website and look for e-blasts.  Remember our meeting in September is on a Sunday, starts at 12:00, and is at a different location so as to allow our members who teach on Saturday a chance to join us in asana practice and  more intimate discussion of what is going on in our organization. Hope to see you there.  Check out under MEMBERSHIP>MEETINGS on the website for more info.  Char V

I wanted to pass onto you a offer from member Ann French,who is in the process of completing a yoga therapy internship.

Ann is offering a free therapy sessions which will consist of guided meditations’ few yoga postures and related actions. Minimum of 3 or 4 sessions is usually needed to see any results.

Yoga therapy is not a yoga class, but is a form of alternative or complementary medicine and is about giving the individual tools to heal themselves. Healing is not only at the physical level, but also emotional, mental, and spiritual.  She will give you some suggestions based on what she finds, but for it to work, the individual will need to do what she suggests.

She has had training specifically for trauma and anxiety, as well as general training in yoga therapy.  TO SET UP YOUR FREE APPOINTMENTS CONTACT ANN AT;
