President's Message
Dear YTOC Members,
 
Thank you to all who attended our September 13th event.  Coming together as a group, chanting and then practicing our postures as Hansa lead us through the stories of the Mahabharata made it a wonderful gathering!
 
The weather was just beautiful and we held our annual meeting in the park.   The updated by-laws were accepted by our membership present at the annual meeting.  This vote marks the completion of some hard work by my fellow board members.  Their efforts deserve acknowledgement.  The new by-laws clarify the different roles board members fulfill and more accurately define our membership.  
 
The board is looking to fulfill two key roles.  The first is the role of Secretary and the second is Membership Manager.  If you interested in either of these roles please contact Karin at 720-291-9035.   
 
Don't forget, this Saturday, October 11th Kerry Escobado, RYT will present Restorative Yoga at Harmony Yoga 560 S. Holly Street Denver.  Please join in this nourishing practice. 
 
Namaste,
Karin Bustamante,
YTOC President

Saturday, October 11, 2008

1:00-3:00 pm

Harmony Yoga

This program is free to members and 20$ if a not member.
 

Restorative yoga is like the cool evening breeze after a sweltering summer day.  Opposite to stress and the antidote to switching off the fast pace go-go-go and do-do-do lifestyle, restorative yoga teachers us how to physically rest and mentally rejuvenate.  Restorative yoga provides the individual the opportunity to experience the essence of yoga, no matter the overall health.  This workshop will touch upon the foundation of restorative yoga and provide instruction on how to use restorative poses during savasana.


Benefits of restorative yoga can be helpful to people experiencing life changing events, to bring the body back to its state of homeostasis.  A s the holidays approach and bring additional stress, there's no better time to add a restorative yoga asana to your class or personal practice.
 
Kerry Escobado, RYT, is a certified Relax & Renew Restorative Yoga Teacher and received her training and certification from Judith Lasater in 2007.  Kerry teaches restorative yoga at Harmony Yoga, classical hatha yoga at Denver Health Hospital and is a board member of Yoga Teachers of Colorado.  Kerry is currently pursing her MA in Education and Instructional Design from the University of Colorado Denver.

YTOC Library

Did you know that YTOC has a library, and that we have many great items for you to check out?  If you are a YTOC member and wish to borrow any library item, e-mail Susan Merrill at asanasue@yahoo.com, or make arrangements at one of our meetings.

 

YTOC now has most of the Back Issues of Yoga Journal from 1990-2001!

We can share back issues with you. For example, maybe you want an in-depth analysis of an asana or a style of yoga you are researching. We can help you locate that issue. You can use this service just as you use the library for renting out video and audio tapes. Please go to the library page of the YTOC website (www.ytoc.org) for a listing of our library materials.
