September Update - Important Info re Cuba Trip and Summer Solstice!
Hi All,
I am writing to you from London, on my way to Spain and enjoying family, a little teaching and the delights (and challenges!) of travel. The photo above is a Yew tree I was lucky enough to visit today in Sussex - it is known to be older than the 1066 famous battle that changed the course of England’s history.

This is a brief update mainly to inform you of 3 main upcoming events, 2 of which are in 2025. As you will see there are some time sensitive reasons, that I am sharing this info with you right now. Later this month, there will be a “real”! newsletter with article, a free short practice, poem and the usual longer updates.
Our Yoga Va! US group - are planning a trip to Cuba for a small international group 1/12-18, 2025. This trip will be by application only and the specific itinerary will be available later this month. I wanted to get the word out right now as over the years so interested and appropriate participants can get in touch soon.
I have said that I was not taking another international group there. Well, I am eating my words because, the situation there calls for us to support our friends there, and to build more solidarity and connections. As I age, it is clear that more folks need to get involved to keep this magical exchange alive and also for folks to get to know the extraordinary people and see both the inspiring and the challenging realities of life in Habana.

Finally, we continue with Online Yoga. It’s always interesting seeing folks from different places and in different time zones. This month note the dates please as they are a little different.
