Hello Everybody,

Helen Paul-Smith  (TYC Astanga Yoga teacher) and her husband Scott are having a house built through Habitat for Humanity.  The building has begun on the house, but they need to provide 500 hours of labour through friends and family to help with the project.

No special building experience is needed.

If you can help out with any support sometime over the next 2 weeks please call Helen on 571 3242,  or 021 164 6933.

Brigid helped out today and said it was a fantastic experience.

Thanks

TYC Committee.

Hello Everyone.

Pease note that this week the Thursday morning Ashtanga class (6 am)  is cancelled.

Next week it will be running again as normal

TYC Committee

Hi Everyone.

Unless we get some better numbers at the early morning  Ashtanga class  (Thursdays)  this class will have to be cancelled.

 So to all of you – now is the time to give this class a go.

 Spring is almost here and it’s a great way to start the day.

 If you are new to Ashtanga Yoga or at beginner level this is a great class because Brigid can give you a lot of attention to help get your practice going in a really safe and  powerful way.

 If you are experieced with Ashtanga Yoga come along and go straight into your practice.  It is a perfect chance to also spend some one on one time with Brigid to work through any any areas you would like to focus on.

 If you are experienced with other Yoga such as  Hatha or Iyengar Yoga you are also welcome to come along and enjoy your own practice in the energy of the Yoga centre.

Class start time is flexible so you are welcome to arrive at a time that works for you.

The class time has now been extended to 0600 to 0800hr so you can start at 0630 or even 0700 if you want.

Thanks

TYC Committee

We have been conducting a large online international study investigating peoples’ wellbeing called - The International Wellbeing Study. This study has been running since March 2009 and basically investigates peoples' wellbeing over the course of one year. Since its inception, we have been, and are aiming to, specifically investigate the wellbeing of yoga participants, and how their wellbeing changes over a year as not much is known about this.

For the future intake in September 2010, we are targeting yoga participants in particular, and thus it would be great if we could get as many people as possible to participate in this. This study is completely anonymous, easy to do, takes about 25 to 30 minutes for each assessment point, and participants don’t have to give any of their personal details. The only participation requirements is that participants are at least 16 years old and that they agree to fill out these questions every three months for a year; five times in total. Go to http://www.wellbeingstudy.com  to participate and/or find out more about the study.

Importantly, the “study code” for this specific population to input into this survey is "YOGA" which individuals type in at the beginning of the survey when prompted. If a person participates, he or she will receive an e-mail summary report of their scores, and also go into the draw to win one of fifteen $100 Amazon.com vouchers. They will also be given the opportunity to opt-in to one of three free wellbeing orientated internet courses after they have completed the first three assessments.
