Welcome to the May 2010 Newsletter

I'm taking a much needed break from writing this month for some quiet and stillness... so this month's issue is simply my announcements and schedule, below. 
However, for your reading inspiration, you may want to read some of my favorite articles:
My regular Seasons of Yoga column and monthly featured article will return in June...  Enjoy the May flowers!

Blessings,

Announcements

Special Tuesday class focus for May: The Tao Te Ching, the ancient chinese philosophical work by Lao Tzu.  Discover this nature-based, simple yet profound wisdom and how it applies to our yoga practice and our lives!
Every Tuesday morning, 9:30-11am, at Yoga is Youthfulness

East-West Bookstore - Have you heard that East-West, our amazing resource for all things spiritual and yogic, is having financial challenges?  They are asking for our support by remembering them for books, gifts, CDs, for anyone in your life (including you!) that is interested in personal and spiritual growth.  I support them and have counted on them for years for many things - I hope you'll support them, too.

Making a Difference to the Planet and to Teens - Every month, I donate a small portion of the donations I receive for my Meditation & INSPIRATION group to a charity.  I really wanted to donate to an earth-oriented charity in honor of earth day, and I found a wonderful local one. 
EARTH TEAM provides middle and high school students and teachers in the SF Bay Area with environmental science activities in the classroom and field.  Students learn about today's most pressing environmental issues as they develop their academic and leadership skills. 
For the months of April, May, and June, my donations are going to support this wonderful organization that especially serves students and teachers that lack resources to create such programs. 
For more information and how you can help, see their website:  http://www.earthteam.net
