In the secret recesses of the heart
beyond the teachings of this world
calls a still, small voice
singing a song unchanged
from the foundation of the world.
Speak to me in sunsets and in starlight
Speak to me in the eyes of a child
You Who call me from a smile
My cosmic beloved
Tell me who I am
And who I always will be.
Help me to remember.

Upcoming Events @ Wild Lotus
Dear Friends of Yoga,
Move, shake and meditate! From better fitness to a better outlook, Wild Lotus has a variety of workshops and specialty classes in February and March. With this newsletter, we welcome in the refreshing energy of a New Year and look forward to connecting with you all.
>> Introduction to Yogic Principles with Anuttara's Ronela Vainio
We are pleased to announce February 11th - 13th, 2011, Ronela Vainio will be holding a 3-day intensive workshop: Introduction to Yogic Principles.
This workshop will focus on the fundamental concepts relative to an effective means of practise within the yogic system. From the basic knowledge of the chakra-s, to what yoga is, and from polarity, to the eight stages of yoga, Ronela will lead practitioners into understanding the basis of the traditional yogic system. As Anuttara Yoga is a holistically based style of yoga, with postures held for increasing lengths of time, it is a fully integrated form of yoga.

Saturday 11am - 2pm: Hatha Yoga Practice, Music, Meditation, Lecture: What is Yoga?
