Mardi Gras in Burlington

2007-02-21T21:20:00.000-05:00

By now you've all heard that last week's big mess o'snow pushed back the 12th annual Magic Hat Mardi Gras Parade on the Church Street Marketplace to this Saturday, February 24. The Parade begins at the corner of Main Street and South Winooski Avenue, goes up Church Street...right past our windows. Come kick off your snow boots and get a warm, relaxed view of the festive floats, as the crowds party below from our Church Street Studio. Parade starts at 3 - and we'll be around until class starts at 5pm. Stop up and say hello. (We couldn't find any Mardi Gras photos on the Magic Hat Site, so the Church Street shot is graciously borrowed from the Vermont Cynic. And the other from our 2005 archives, of a 2 yr old Sabe.

A break from the snow...

2007-02-21T21:03:00.000-05:00

Sheehan sent us these photos from his vacation that are downright shocking to look at in the wake of our recent whiteout... and yes, he's sporting the Saka Pinda Backpack as his chosen travel bag.

Valentine's Day in Montpelier

2007-02-21T20:39:00.000-05:00

2007-01-27T12:50:00.000-05:00

Just netflixed Deepa Mehta's film, Water . Stunningly beautiful and highly recommended.

Chuyia’s feisty presence affects the lives of the other residents, including a young widow, who falls for a Gandhian idealist. More about Deepa Mehta can be found here.

Clay Sanskrit Library

2007-01-09T21:37:00.000-05:00

The Clay Sanskrit Library has been created to introduce Classical Sanskrit literature to a wide international readership. This literature combines great beauty, enormous variety, and more than three thousand years of continuous history and development. For many interested readers access to this vast treasure store has been hindered by an unfamiliar language and a difficult script. The new Clay Sanskrit Library makes everything easier: the Sanskrit text, written in familiar Roman letters, faces the English translation, and the convenient pocket size is both elegant and practical. Books are co-published by NYU Press and the JJC Foundation. The Clay Sanskrit Library current and upcoming publications, downloads, news, links, inspiration and more...

After attending Kathy's 5:40 Ashtanga class at the Chace Mill or Keri's 6pm Vinyasa Class on Church Street, and heading to a block down to Vermont CARES reception at the Firehouse Gallery, take a walk around town and enjoy the First Friday Art Walk.

World Aids Day is Dec 1

2006-11-30T23:50:00.000-05:00

View The World Aids Campaign video Stop AIDS; What will you do?. This 8 minute video covers the status of AIDS in 2006, the promises that have been made and the ga s in action, specifically highlighting the goal of Universal Access. December 1st is World AIDS Day. Established by the World Health Organization in 1988, World AIDS Day serves to focus global attention on the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Observance of this day provides an opportunity for governments, national AIDS programs, churches, community organizations and individuals to demonstrate the importance of the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Vermont CARES is our local committee for AIDS resources, education and services. Please join us at our downtown studio for the 12:30-1:30 Lunch Break Class with Kathy McNames. This will be a special I'll Yoga for You class and all proceeds will be donated to Vermont CARES. Representatives from the agency will be onhand taking part in the class and will be happy to chat about opportunities for volunteer involvement. They also would like to extend an invitation to join current and former leaders and supporters of Vermont CARES' community as they commemorate the agency's 20th year of service on World AIDS Day for reception and reflection from 5 to 7pm at the Firehouse Gallery on Church Street.

Pattabhi Jois in Florida

2006-11-28T18:12:00.000-05:00

The Ashtanga Yoga Institute is opening a studio in Islamorada, Florida. Guruji will be there for the grand opening party on March 24, followed by a two week workshop. (Word is it will be his only US stop.) Registration is now open at $200/week. No word on the number of spaces available or the size of the center as yet... but sure to be quite the yoga party for those of you that can be down there at the end of March.

And now a few words from the Isalmorada website...
"The average temperature in the Florida Keys for January is 74 degrees. Temperatures in the daytime & nighttime differ only about 10 degrees. In fact, being surrounded on water, the Florida Keys have a very temperate climate. Much more so that the Florida mainland. There is no known record of frost, ice, sleet, or snow. Fog is rare."
And further down the page...oddly enough,
""Your worst enemy can not harm you as much as your own thoughts, unguarded." from the Dhammapada"
.... hmmm... guess there's no point in thinking about their perfect weather for those of us living in the dark dark days of late november filled with cold rain and temperatures in the 30s....
