that provides scholarships to refugees and other
needy pupils in Uganda and Rwanda to attend school."

YiY Hiking Group
August's hike was to amazing Big Basin. We are lucky
to be living within driving distance of one of
Nature's wonders. Eleanor wrote about the experience: "As we drove
through dappled shadows along a winding mountain road lined by some
of the tallest trees on Earth, little did we realize that soon we would
be lost in those same Redwood forests."

is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought
without accepting it."

Workshop: Yoga for
Beginners with Rebecca Snowball
Saturday, Sep 24 2-4pm,
$30 in advance
$35 at the door
New to yoga?
Reluctant to go to a regular
class? Too stiff? This workshop is FOR
YOU.
This workshop will
include:
* Meditation Techniques
* Pranayma (breathing) Techniques
* Asana (posture) Practice
* Detailed Instruction to create a
safe practice for yourself
Rebecca has been practicing
yoga since
1995 and became certified
to teach in the year 2000
from Ganga White and Tracy Rich of the White
Lotus Foundation.
She brings the
highest level of teaching to her
students by continuing her own
education attending workshops, conventions,
and advanced trainings. One
of Rebecca's gifts is working with new
students and helping them
bring the yoga postures to the body
rather than forcing the body
into the pose. Come spend an afternoon
with Rebecca and enjoy
a safe and uplifting yoga practice.
