I hope you've had a good Easter break and are feeling energized by the light evenings, I'm loving them.

Just a reminder that the new term begins this week. Bring a friend free to class for the first week of term

Book your term now. 'My yoga guru', which I wrote last year is now out and you can download the free app from the app store! This month I am the featured teacher with Asquith Clothing - you can join in the conversation on facebook for some seasonal cleansing and yoga tips and look out for the special offers on retreats.

Get clear about what you want to bloom in the summer and make sure you are sowing the seeds for that now. As the mornings are getting lighter, it is a great time to get up 1/2 an hour earlier, roll out your mat and see what happens, let the cosmic dance of Siva arise within you and play.

November Update at YogaKutir

[Your Name Here] — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:40:31 +0000

Namaste!

With the clocks changed and only 6 weeks until the the Winter Solstice, it is so important to keep the internal fires bright and our practise flowing and regular. We had a wonderful Halloween weekend at Braziers Park, the colours of the leaves were stunning and there was some amazing pumpkin carving on Saturday night! And of course lots of yoga, meditation, chanting and relaxation... A daily shoulderstand at this time of year is a fantastic tonic for the immune system, and if you feel a sore throat coming on, shoulderstand will help stimulate and circulate prana in the throat. Keep your intake of fluids high and keep the neck and throat area warm. Fresh ginger tea is good or for something more medicinal, lots of sage and black pepper.

Keep your batteries topped up and join us for a retreat or workshop over the coming weeks.... There are lots of wonderful things coming up from November sunshine in Dahab, the winter solstice in Oxfordshire, New Year at the wonderful EarthSpirit in Glastonbury, with sauna, hot tub!! and underfloor heating in the yoga space, to an urban retreat in Bristol and day long workshops.... Plus Astrology meditation evening dates for your diary...

Wishing you all good health
OM shanti shanti
