Dear Nilaya House friends,
Wishing you all a wonderful end to 2019 and thank you for your support over the year, whether it has been as a regular student or attending our various workshops and courses.
If you are keen to start, continue or deepen your yoga practice in 2020 we look forward to seeing you on the mat soon. Normally we are closed on New Year’s Day, but for 2020 I invite you to join me for an invigorating Ashtanga Yoga class followed by a guided intention-setting meditation and a community breakfast as a way to get the new year off to a great start! There’s still some interesting events taking place in the shala over the next few weeks for those of you not travelling and 2020 is looking to again filled with fantastic programs and trainings for yoga practitioners of all levels.
I’d also love to hear from you with any feedback or suggestions, so don’t hesitant to be
in touch.
Yours in Yoga
Nea
