An Essential Ashtanga Newsletter: Purple Valley Mixes It Up
Nancy Gilgoff at Purple Valley
Purple Valley Yoga Centre in Goa, India publishes a regular and essential email newsletter, the famous Noticeboard. It typically consists of more than 50 announcements (not all of them are related to Ashtanga yoga).
[Purple Valley has changed its website and the Noticeboard is no longer there, though you can sign up for an email newsletter. The photos on the new site are good. - Ed.]
Here are examples of some of the notices in the latest Noticeboard (no. 61):
NOTICE 9
Featured Pose: Savasana (Corpse Pose) Savasana is a pose of total relaxation making it one of the most challenging asanas.NOTICE 62
New Ashtanga Yoga Classes in London with Robin Catto - please email robin@breatheonline.com for details or visit BreatheOnline
It’s always fun to read the Noticeboard and to find the gems hidden within it. I wonder when AshtangaNews.com will be announced?
We highlighted Purple Valley, the many Ashtanga teachers who conduct workshops there and Goa in another post here.

Hiya,
Don’t know if you spread this kind of word but…
I’m moving out of my home and looking for someone to take my place. It’s a warehouse flat in Hackney Wick with a built in yoga/tai chi studio. To share with a vegetarian male who practices Tai Chi. But the rent is £635 per month and classes can be taught from the studio.
If you know anyone who might be interested or where I could post such information so it will reach the London yoga community, I’d love to hear from you.
Best wishes,
Tracey
