"It is Spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart"

Rainer Maria Rilke

Warm Greetings

A short newsletter for two special events.
1.     Reminder to book your Spring Escape now
2.     New Yoga course. ‘Introduction to Yoga’
Read on and use the energy and encouragement of this Spring season to try something new.
Join me on the Spring Yoga Retreat. I’ve been running these popular retreats in the beautiful Yarra ranges for 2 years now. The combination of a delightful enquiring Yoga practice, a raw food experience, accommodation that is luxurious and the beauty, freshness and inspiration of nature, will leave you feeling renewed, refreshed and revitalized.
The new Yoga course I’ll be running in November will be a wonderful way to be introduced to a Yoga practice. If you’ve ever had a thought of trying Yoga out but not taken the step to do it…well now may be that opportunity. The 4 classes will be informative, interesting, heart-centred and playful.
You’ll begin to see why there are so many people taking up Yoga as a stand alone practice or in conjunction with other fitness activities. Book your place now

Springtime offers us a quickening pace of life as our earth warms, blossoms bloom, bulbs open to show us their colourful beauty and all of nature, including us, embraces the new season of birth. We often emerge from the cold winter months feeling heavy and sluggish, carrying that sense of having been in hibernation and needing to wake up. This weekend of stretching and flexing Yoga practices, reflection, meditation and eating consciously will do just that, wake you up. So come, harmonize with nature, dance to her rhythm and get your Spring groove going.

Inclusive of 2 nights’ luxury accommodation, all Yoga classes, meditation, Yoga nidra, Raw Food demonstrations and all meals.

BOOK NOW to ensure you have a weekend in Spring to put that spring in your step.Download the full brochure at www.heartofjoy.com.au/#!/page_Yogaretreats

I’m going to leave you with another gorgeous poem. Those who know me well know of my love of poetry…and I love to share it with you!!
Enjoy this lovely piece from E.E. Cummings:
 
‘who knows if the moon's
a balloon, coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
(and if you and I should
get into it, if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people
than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited, where
always
it's
Spring) and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves’
 

Love and Namaste

Margaret
