Dear Yoga Participants,


A NOTE FROM RUTH - ST. VINCENT"S KITCHEN

Sherry Sutherland
"Yoga in the Park"

Dear Sherry & Friends,
Thank you for your ongoing donations of non-perishables to St. Vincent Pallotti's Kitchen.
Since 1990, many individuals from various walks of life have been utilizing our services as they seek to improve their quality of life. Your donations help us to provide a place where anyone can find a hot, nutritious meal every day of the year.

Over the summer months, we have seen the number of people needing our services increase 15 % over the number last year for the same months. We have seen many new faces who are not normally part of our regular clientele and it reminds me that this economic crisis has touched many people in our community and it continues to be hard to make ends meet. Please remember those who are struggling through these hard times.

We sincerely thank you for helping us help others and we wish you all the best.

Sincerely,
Ruth Puckrin
Director of Operations
St. Vincent Pallotti's Kitchen

On behalf of the YWCA Durham and the residents of YWCA’s Adelaide House Second Stage Housing Program, I would like to say so THANK YOU so much to all the participants in the Yoga in the Park classes for their incredibly generous donations to the women in our programs. Their donations of these fabulous clothing items to our women mean so much more than words can ever express, many many thanks!

A NOTE FROM SHERRY - YOGA TRAINER
Dear Yoga Enthusiasts,
Yoga in the Park, downtown Oshawa has been a very rewarding experience for me. I want to thank you for tirelessly contributing to the various charities.


Yoga feeds the soul, improves balance, flexibility and strength. Your well being is so important. Yoga creates awareness, connection, rejuvination and LOVE. This journey with you has been a truly fulfilling experience.


Let's do it again next summer, and create the world's largest YOGA class, in the world's largest YOGA studio - the great outdoors!

Namaste,
Sherry

Chakras - Healing Meditation


The 7 Primary Colours of Chakras and their Life Theme

The seven core chakras function as pathways for energy that flows through subtle channels in the spine and govern the endocrine system through the etheric body.

Each Chakra acts a transformer within the body. The purpose is to bring into the system a higher frequency of vibration, from the subtle portions of the Matrix Grid, into the thicker frequencies for purification and healing of negative energies. There are seven endocrine glands, each with a vibration and color, and one is assigned to each of the seven primary Chakras.

7 PRIMARY CHAKRAS

White.. Head Centre. . . Consciousness and Spirituality

Purple.. Centre between eyebrows. . Phsycic perseption, Imagination and Intuition

Blue.. Throat Centre. . Self Expression and Communication

Green.. Heart Centre. . Compassion, Love and Healing

Yellow.. Solar Plexus Centre. . Personal power, Identity and Individuation

Orange.. Sacral Centre. . Sexuality and Creativity

Red.. Centre at the base of the Spine. . Self preservation and Survival
