Himalaya Yoga Valley are delighted to announce the return of one of last summer’s most popular
outdoor events. Yoga in The Park for Cork Simon Community kicks off again on the 13th of June
at Fitzgerald’s Park.
Every Saturday, yoga enthusiasts and novices will stretch it out in aid of Cork Simon Community
to help fight homelessness through yoga. We will host this weekly, by donation yoga class every
Saturday morning at 10:00am in front of the bandstand. Last year, each weekly class saw up to
50 people join the Himalaya Yoga Valley team for yoga in the park and we hope to make this year
an even greater success!
After the huge success this initiative last summer we presented Cork Simon with a cheque for
€2443.74 raised by Himalaya Yoga Valley Clients and members of the public who attended Yoga
in the Park. Since January, Himalaya Yoga Valley clients have continued their support of Cork
Simon Community with ‘Meditation by Donation’ classes and to date have raised over €1400.
We welcome you to join members of the Himalaya Yoga Valley team, Cork City Council and
Simon Community at the launch of this wonderful fundraising initiative this Saturday

Lalit will take students through a series that includes standing and seated hip opening postures that release energy and tension in this area. The hips hold tension and become tight from daily repetitive activities such as sitting at office desks and driving- tight hips can lead to lower back pain and imbalances throughout the rest of the body.
By exploring hip opening postures and deepening our existing hip opening poses we can release this area and improve our overall asana practice. This workshop will include chanting and pranayama and deep hip opening poses. Please note that Lalit’s workshops fill quickly and spaces are limited so book early to avoid disappointment!
Hip opening Workshop level 1 :
Saturday July 25th 2015 15.30-17.30
Hip opening Workshop levels 2-3 :
Sunday 26th July 2015 14.00-16.00
Price: €25.00
Payment is essential to reserve a space.
Book online or call the centre to reserve a space 021-4279696.
When: Sunday, August 9, 2015 10am-6pm
Cost: €50
Rediscover the Goddess in You with Kundalini Yoga and Meditations especially for women…. lead by Kundalini Teacher Viriam Kaur. Honoring the Goddess of Yoga within is a deep form of self-healing.
This class uses Kundalini Yoga, Meditations and mantras uniquely created for women- to honour our strengths and empower us from our core. Together we will learn centuries old meditations for women.
“To be a yogini is the highest spiritual goal for all women. It is the way to become one with the goddess within and to bring her out in expression to uplift the world that is really her creation.”
Shambhavi Chopra

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Level 1
AYM combines deep tissue massage with coordinated breathwork and yoga stretching. Similar to Thai massage, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is performed on a mat allowing for a full range of stretching. In addition; the deep tissue massage dissolves physical tension, while the assisted stretches and breath exercises realign the body and stimulate the natural flow of energy.
Level Two gives you alternatives to help you open up restricted areas and work with postural problems. You learn more advanced yoga stretches to target those areas. Level Two also includes walking on the body – using a chair or stool, you balance your body weight and use your feet to massage the body in long strokes. This gives you the potential to use more pressure if needs be adjusting your body weight. As in level one, you will be learning to communicate with your client, using coordinated breathwork to assist the stretches.
In Level Two you reach certification standard approved by Complimentary Therapists Association UK. Naturally Level One is a pre-requisite.
Immerse yourself in traditional practices with expert yoga teacher Yogacharya Lalit, founding Director of Himalaya Yoga Valley India. This retreat is designed to help practitioners of all levels to deepen their practice under Lalit’s guidance in the beautiful Sierra Nevada region.
It would be hard for me to capture in only a few lines what an amazing time I had on the retreat in Moraymar, Spain, simply put it has altered my thinking on how ‘holidays’ should be spent. From the moment I was greeted at the bus stop by Maeve and introduced to my fellow yogis I enjoyed 7 days of pure bliss. The location, accommodation, staff, weather and food was superb. The yoga, pranayama, chanting and meditation were brought to a place I had previously not experienced and succinctly delivered by Lalit. All levels were catered for and in a relaxed yet challenging way. The first morning I woke after the retreat I woke up with a smile on my face. 10/10. Enough said. Tim, Cork.
