Dear *|FNAME|*
Thank you for reading my summer newsletter. I am writing this newsletter as the sun is shining brightly. Summer is one of my favorite seasons. Summer is the peak of yang energy, when the days are longest and the nights are shortest. The consistent light and heat supports our ability to expand our hearts and tap into the highest vibration of human potential.
The lucky winner for my last month's draw to win a relaxing back & shoulder massage is Mrs Val Wise, I will be in touch shortly.
This time last year I thought I would be running a yoga retreat together with my sister Bon by the Amalfi coast in Italy. Sadly we had to cancel the retreat due to the unexpected deterioration of my sister. Before she passed away, she told me so many times "Cicely, you must go there." She visited La Selva, the venue, with her family and she instantly fell in love with the place. La Selva is situated on a hill overlooking the Positano sea and surrounded by nature, nestled among olive and lemon trees. La Selva is a unique place of simple, calm and quiet, and healing, sanctuary. Following Bon's guidance I am going there to join a "nature & healing yoga retreat" this summer. This is one of the most special gifts I can give to myself for healing, self-care & self-love. The salon will therefore be closed from 4th August to 14th August. I do get very busy before and after my holiday, if you would like to book your MOT with me, please let me know. So many of you will understand what it means to have an MOT. :-)
My Summer Yoga Workshop, Santosha Flow on Saturday 20th July is at the Lotus Loft, Exeter. I have 4 more spaces left, if you would like to join us. Please let me know as soon as possible. Scroll down to see the Yoga Workshop full details. If you missed this Summer Workshop, the next one will be on Saturday 5th Oct from 10 am to 1 pm at the Lotus Loft. Please see the poster.
Finally I am feeling very excited to introduce a new range of skin & body care from Tropic. After experiencing a few facial treatments myself, I have to say I loved them. The smell, texture & the sensations on my skin were wonderful. I am totally in love with the range and I have to share this with you.

Happy summer yogis. I would like to share this image of a happy baby pose in nature; the sanskrit is ananda balasana. It is a perfect image to represent Santosha Yoga Flow for this summer workshop. Santosha flow leads to inner joy and inner peace.
Santosha = Contentment. It is a state of (internal) happiness & satisfaction. It involves acceptance of all that encompasses our lives. It cultivates equanimity. It leaves you wanting nothing and therefore lacking nothing. Natural contentment arises. This is Santosha.
