March & April News from Rasamaya

Rasamaya Yoga Homepage

Greetings!
"Beauty is a form of genius - is higher indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon. "
~ Oscar Wilde
When I think of the springtime I think of beauty. The budding flowers, the return of the songbirds, the warmth of the sun on my skin. These simple pleasures always offer me a renewed sense of hope, mission and freedom. A chance to be reborn from the cozy shell of winter. Springtime is the opportunity to clean out the cobwebs of my heart (and my closet) and to beckon in the new.
For myself, I have all my sights set on Rasamaya's continuing growth throughout the New England community. As many of you know, this is the first year that Rasamaya will be included as a class in the Boston Yoga Journal Conference in April, which I am so graciously honored to be a part of. In addition our own family of presenters and workshops continues to expand and grow and I am so pleased to announce that our 200hr teacher training program will not only include Dover, NH this fall but also Brattelboro, VT and Salem, NH.
I hope that this springtime offers to you all of its gifts, all of its blessings, and a chance to go play and enjoy.
love. love. love.

P.S. A side note for my past and current teacher training students - don't forget to register for the Rasamaya Star Island retreat in August this year. Oh, and remember that database I promised you? It's officially in the works and should be operational by fall (all things considered).

RASAMAYA
STAR ISLAND RETREAT
This if our second Rasamaya® Teacher's Retreat on Star Island. This weekend excursion is only offered to Rasamaya® teachers and their families and will offer the opportunity to escape from reality, and find some quiet personal time to either simply sit back and relax, or to develop your movement practice in the company of others. It is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to learn from each other and expand our knowledge.
The weekend will sponsor various styles of Rasamaya® movement classes. Classes will be offered for all levels of practitioners from beginner to advanced. Attendance in classes is not required such that you can move through the weekend at your own pace. CEU credits are available for all workshops offered by 200 E-RYT or 500hr RYT/ERYT presenters.
For more information about star island please visit www.starisland.org

Rasamaya Flying Aerial Yoga Workshop this Sunday

Workshop This Sunday! - ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT!!

Rasamaya Flying Aerial Yoga with Carrie Tyler & Crissy Trayner
See our video interview with Portsmouth Herald's Gossip Lady on YouTube

March 21 10-12am at Tristar Gym

Cost: $40 and $35 for members and students with valid ID

Ever dream of flying like Peter Pan? Now you can! Take your yoga practice off the ground and into the air… Aerial fabric flying is an outward body and mind expanding practice that utilizes a partner as a base to help the flyer experience gravity defying twists, backbends, and freedom. Safe mounting, dismounting, and how to base with confidence and trust will be explored. Aerial yoga focuses on the beautiful art form of how to move on circus silks. It is a very inward focused practice which becomes a dance between you and the fabric. Basic footlocks, climbing, and fun asanas will be explored.

This is a wonderful practice for couples, parents and children, old friends and the making of new friends. Space is limited to 25. Class is appropriate for all levels (except those with heart conditions or those who should not be practicing inversions).

This will be located at Tristar Gym, 66 3rd Street, Dover, NH 03820-3337. To register www.doveryoga.com

New Rasamaya iTunes iMixPlaylist - "Flight"

These songs remind me of element of flight. Mostly instrumental. Perfect for a Rasamaya yoga practice. Soft music at the beginning for starting out in savasana and then graduating slowly to seated for pranayama and eventually into a more vigorous flow and then back down again. Enjoy.
