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

Hip Opening Workshops with Lalit

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.

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.
