New Pathways began for us at Kripalu on September 21, 2008. We are immensely grateful for all the support and encouragement you have given as we have embarked on this journey. We wanted to give you a little overview of all that has happened in these first nine months…

* 2 Concerts

* 2 Seminars

* 9 Workshops

* Hilary Coplestone qualified at Kripalu USA and is now teaching at Kripalu UK.

* Lou Ionascu has qualified, and is now establishing her work as a Yoga Therapist, alongside her teaching.

* Kripalu UK was featured in a full-page editorial with Yoga: Mind, Body & Spirit Magazine.

* Suzie Jennings has been interviewed for Yoga Bulletin, Kripalu USA’s worldwide publication (soon to be released).

* We have added a new weekly belly dancing class and continue to host a twice weekly Pilates class.

* Along with The Ashcombe School, The Priory School is now also offering yoga at Kripalu to its students.

We have had the immense privilege of being taught by incredibly gifted healers, lecturers and teachers. We have gathered together to learn about massage, meditation, mindfulness, yoga nidra, and the chakras, each experience deepening our understanding and increasing compassion for our selves and one another. We have heard drumming, and singing, and had an evening of poetry, ritual and harp music to celebrate the gift of the shortest day. We have had 60 new students enroll since January, have hosted two teachers of renown from America as well as two from the UK and more are contacting us with a desire to come lead workshops and teach in the upcoming months. It has indeed been a time of abundance and joy.

What blessings we have received. Our nine month anniversary seemed a fitting time to share all the news, for this season is all about birth and new growth.

Namaste.
