NEWSLETTER – February 2018
On Sunday the 25th February I will be holding a yoga day from 10.00-3.30 at the Study Society, Colet House, 151 Talgarth Road, W14 9DA. I hope you can come. It is more on the meditation and philosophical talks side of yoga. I will be presenting ‘Presence – the truth of yoga’ a book I was inspired, by you, to write.
Dear one, let’s step up the practice.
On the 10th and 11th March we have Narain Ishaya joining our yoga weekend in Shipton-under-Wychwood. He is the best spiritual teacher I know. He joined us in 1998 in Lesbos as a student and has blessed us with his talks ever since. Let us know if you wish to stay the night.
Leave some holiday for Lesbos or the Park Place.
