This
talk of Victor talking about his new book "Living
Breath" was recorded
by iHanuman at the Satchidananda Ashram on November 4, 2006.
Pictures from the Workshop
at Chapel Hill, North
Carolina are here on this website.
September
2006
August 19th was
the last day of our Retreat in Cornwall England
and
after the class we climbed down a steep and rocky valley to the
sea, where a high waterfall plunged into a rocky pool.
It
was cold and rainy, but the Spirits called me
 and
so I slid and scrammbled down into the pool and allowed the thundering
waterfall to pour over me
and
initiate me into my 69th year!
-Angela
This
Summer and Fall workshops in the new Yoga Hall in Eftalou are
possible because of over six years of effort and intention of
many people who have participated in helping Angela and Victor
bring the new Yoga Hall to fruition, buying Victor's watercolours,
hosting benefit workshops, participating in the yoga and in
many other ways contributing to make this dream real.
Angela's DVDs
Angela's beautiful and inspirational "The
Feminine Unfolding" is now available in DVD. It is beautiful,
inspirational, spiritual, and deeply insightful. If you have not
seen it yet, do yourself a kindness.
Angela's second DVD is now available.
The title is "Inner Body Flow". It is
a is an introduction to the vibrant concepts
of "Inner Body Yoga". It allows the student to participate
at their own level as Angela instructs a class. Victor's beautiful
and illustrative watercolours are included to give extra illustration
of the poses.
Victor's
Fourth Yoga Notebook and Galleries
As
the Yoga Hall is underway, more good news is coming on Victor's
fourth Yoga notebook. Ganesha Press, has told us that the
book is due back from the printer and expected to be ON SALE soon.
Here is the review of Victor's third book from Yoga Journal:
"...
an idiosyncratic, uncompromising excursion. Van Kooten's own drawings
illustrate dynamic principals in our bodies, our psyches, and the
universe. His gift for illustration and penchant for poetic language
is evident on every page." -Yoga Journal
And, Ellen Toomey of Ganesha Press tells
us that the First Notebook is now out of print. The Second and
Third "From
the Inside Out" Books are available and the Fourth will be
available shortly. For more information about the books see
Victor's Yoga Notebooks
Also,
Victor has completed a new series of watercolours for his Thank-you
Gallery. Victor's Galleries have been re-organized into a Ganesha
Gallery, and Gallery One and Gallery
Two.
Yoga
Poetry
New poems have been added, one from the
Women of Wisdom Workshop, and
several from Janet Hockfeld. These are added to an earlier poem
Angela has sent from the Harbin workshop. This all started when
a tall guy with wild hair and an infectious smile handed me two
pieces of paper at the Chapel Hill 2003 workshop. And then there
is the Ohio Poem from Yellow Springs several years back. Take
a look...
Victor's
Tea
At the Chapel Hill workshop last year, as he has done often in his
travels, Victor brewed up his tea for the participants. Several
people asked for the recipe. Here
it is.
Background
on the Yoga Hall:
Angela
and Victor have purchased just over an acre of land on the island
of Lesvos, Greece and have started construction on a
yoga hall. You can look the pictures
from last month and the previous pictures
of the final excavation showing the ancient walls and where
the coins and pottery shards were found. Victor has been sending
original water colors in appreciation
to the support people are giving in this project.
The
Yoga Hall on Lesvos will be a place where many future yogis will
be able to go to explore and expand their practice, as well as a
home base for Angela and Victor.
Donations, pre-purchases
of the Molivos Workshop on Lesvos, elections
from Victor's Ganesha Gallery or Gallery
2, or just contributions from your overflow would be welcome.
