In Jill's Words
Namaste, my friends. It
most certainly has been a hot summer in the city, in more ways than one. At
blue lotus, we were creating our own heat in the studio, while in the background we were busy with activity around the launch of
our new Web site. We're pleased to announce it is live at www.bluelotusnc.com!
We are excited to welcome a number of
fabulous teachers to our already blessed and talented group of yogis and
yoginis. Alison Darch, Carrington Jackson, Julie Realon and Matthew Tarnowski
bring new experience and wisdom to our flourishing space. Read more about them
and all members of The Team at blue lotus. With new
instructors also come new classes, like Dynamic Hatha Yoga on Monday nights.
Check it out!
As you may have noticed,
we've stepped up the e-newsletter a bit, which gives us greater flexibility to
share important information with you about blue lotus, yoga and the community.
If you have suggestions about what you'd like to see in news from the
blue, drop us a note.
There is plenty of other news
to share, so please be sure to "read all about it." Thank you for continuing to bless our space and our lives with your inspiring presence.
Peace,
Jill

Celebrate the Equinox with Global Mala!
|
|
 Join us for a Mala by donation
It goes by many names. Cornucopia, Feast of Avilon, Harvest Tide, Mabon, Night of the Hunter, and most commonly, The First Day of Autumn. Whatever the name, it represents a celebration -- of harvest, of abundance, of change, of balance and of remembrance. As the preceding Friday marks the UN International Peace Day, we have double the reason to reflect and celebrate.
Join us at blue lotus as we participate in the Global Mala Project with a Mala by donation, 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., Sunday, Sept 23. We will unite breath, movement and intention for peace with 108 rounds of Surya Namaskar (sun salutation). Donations will benefit SURGE Network, advocating progressive environmental and social change in North Carolina and beyond.

Meditate, and the Peace Will Come
|

 Weekly Meditation & Peace in the Park
What better way to start the weekend than by pausing to relax your mind, body and soul? A new weekly Meditation will be
offered by donation from 5:45 to 6:15
p.m., Fridays, starting Sept 7.
This new class coincides with blue lotus'
support of One%, a non-profit organization committed
to sharing the message of peace through daily meditation by one percent of the
population. A special event, Peace in the Park, invites
one and all to participate in 30 minutes of sacred silence from Noon to 12:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept 8 at Moore Square in Downtown Raleigh. Those attending the Saturday morning Juicy Flow class at blue lotus are invited to walk as a group to Peace in the Park.
