Teachers Corner.
Some of you will have seen the recent Facebook post of Sylvia graduating from Massey University and it got me thinking about what all the teachers do outside the studio. So, this month is the beginning of a series of these items about our fabulous teaching team – starting with Sylvia.
Outside the hot yoga room, Silvia dedicates herself to learning, growing and spends time in self-study, studying and contemplating spiritual texts in the lineage of Paramhansa Yogananda and meditating.
Other than that, she enjoys the great outdoors: walking or hiking or taking Princess Dalia (her bike) for a speedy ride! Silvia has also studied astrology for the past 15 years and, if her time allows it, she likes to explore deeper layers of it.
And Finally
Queens Birthday Weekend.
Don’t forget we have a long weekend coming up with Queen’s Birthday on the 7th of June. Check out our website for the long weekend hours and classes.
International Yoga Day
International Yoga Day, is celebrated on the 21st of June and aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga. As students of Yoga for the People, you already know the many benefits of this practice so please use this opportunity to share it with your friends. Look out for events around the city – or bring someone you love to a class.
Take care everyone, and see you soon!
Claire & the team.
