The workshops in Greece have been completed and Angela and Victor are on their way to England for the workshop on July 18 organized by Jenny Beeken in Petersfield Hampshire.

The big news on the Eftalou Yoga Hall building project is that construction has started!  The email and pictures below tell of the progress. For comparison, you can look at pictures of the final excavation showing the ancient walls and where the coins and pottery shards were found.

9 - July 2003
Eftalou, Lesvos, Greece

Hello,
    My name is Detlef, I'm a friend of V+ A and I am taking care for the construction of their new Yoga centre in Greece.

    We have the permission to build the yogacenter now, the archeologist did clear the ground, they did find various things, some of them were older than 1500 years before Christ.

The 1. photo is showing : first dump of gravel which was dumped here, before taking in back onto the land.

The 2. photo is showing: foundation site with some of the archeological holes.


The 3. photo is showing : the filling up the holes with gravel

Please also write that we did need more than 20 big trucks of gravel to be able to fill up the holes of the archeological
diggings, which was neccesary to get a solid ground for the foundation.

The 4.photo is showing and 5. photos are showing the casting forms which will hold the concrete and the rebar for the construction of the earthquake proof foundation as well as the construction of the basement.

I will send more photos later to be integrated into the webside. These 5 are for the start.

With loving greeting from Victor and Angela.

May all be fine with you,
Detlef

There are two big projects in the works, the new yoga hall in Eftalou, Greece, and the third edition of Victor's yoga notebook 'From Inside Out'

As the Yoga Hall is underway, more good news is coming on Victor's third Yoga notebook... The word from the publisher, Ganesha Press, is that the book is coming back from the printer and is now available. As more information becomes available we will post it here.

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. 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, selections from Victor's Gallery 1 or Gallery 2, or just contributions from your overflow would be welcome.

Contributions can be sent to:
