Hey Everybody, it's the Drishti Newsletter!
Here we are again in the middle of a gorgeous
Spring season in our
home base of Santa Barbara, California. Things in Santa Barbara and at
Drishti have been
just splendid. Over these
past few months since our last newsletter, we
held one of our famously huge bi-annual sales, celebrated our six-year
anniversary (whoa!!), welcomed four new
employees
to our staff, and said hello to countless
customers in both our physical and online stores.
On a bigger-picture level, we also have another
Earth Day behind us (did you think about possibly
making a donation - any amount helps - to an organization working to protect the
environment?), a presidential
election
before us (have you considered sending some money
to the candidate whom you support?), and an
economy that is currently in crisis mode. And throughout it all, we
have our yoga practices. Whether
your practice is
daily, weekly, monthly, or on vacation for the
time being :), yoga connects us all on an impressive scale... And we at Drishti think
that's a particularly
excellent thought!
Whether you live in Santa Barbara or somewhere
across the country (or the world!),
we hope you enjoy our April
Newsletter! Read on for the
all-important Yoga News section...

Santa Barbara Yoga Center Receives a Total Makeover

not recognize it and walk right on by! Click here to read the
full
story.

Yoga Conspiracy in San Luis Obispo
It made the front page of SLO's weekly paper: a

mystery and suspected
wrongdoing. Very intriguing, indeed. Click here to read the
full
story.
Upcoming Workshops & Events
(in the Santa Barbara area)
As you may know, our complete list of upcoming
yoga events can always be found on the super cool events
page on
our
website. However, we'd like
to call to your attention a few specific happenings that deserve
highlighting:
1) Yoga Lit Series w/Yanoula Athanassakis at
Yoga Soup - What a creative idea for a yoga workshop: combine
physically-stimulating yoga asana with
mentally-stimulating works of literature. Study the selected readings,
which include poetry, essays, and novels, over a week-long period, and
then attend a yoga class which weaves a discussion of said readings
in-between poses. This 7-week workshop is nearing its close, but there
are still
two more sessions left.
Monday, April 28 & Monday, May 5, $15 each session.
Click here for more information.
2) Yoga Teacher Training w/Ganga White &
Tracey Rich at White Lotus Foundation - If you've ever considered
taking a teacher training, either to begin
or enhance a yoga teaching path or to simply deepen your own practice,
Ganga and Tracey's program is an excellent choice. Their instruction is
of the
highest quality, their retreat center in the SB foothills is gorgeous,
and the gourmet vegetarian meals that their chef, Beatrix, serves are quite famous. They hold regular
teacher trainings throughout the year, so if the June training fills
up, more opportunities lie ahead.
June 14-29, $3750
Click here for more information.
3) Siddhi's Spring Yogi Cleanse at Santa
Barbara Yoga Center - We hear great things about the seasonal cleanses
that Siddhi Ellinghoven hosts.
The combination of a strong dietary cleanse and daily Kundalini yoga,
chanting, and meditation is powerful. Get hip with the season change by
participating in a cleanse!
April 30-May 10, $285 (price includes cleansing products)
Click here for more information.

Drishti News!
We have several new employees to tell you about. Amanda, an artist, is
a transplant from the good old state of Iowa, and she loves living in

and an Ashtangi who practices at our local Ashtanga Yoga Shala here in
SB.
Katie is an aspiring Olympic submission wrestler and women's
self-defense class teacher who regularly supplements her training with
yoga and pilates.

It's an impressive-sounding crew that we have here at Drishti, huh? :)
