A note from Siri: 
Being the Treasurer for the last two years has been a demanding, yet rewarding position for me.  It has been a honor to serve the Community and help it grow.  At this time I feel my enthusiasm waining and it is time for me to step aside and make space for a new Treasurer.  I plan on continuing to manage and teach at Awakenings, so the new Treasurer will not be responsible for this.  I will be available to train the new Treasurer for as long as needed... review the books and accounts, help with taxes next year, etc.  
Many Blessings,
Siri Singh

Never been to White Tantric Yoga before? Wonder what it's like? Several folks who have taken White Tantric Yoga courses before (and lived to tell the tale!) will be there to answer your questions during this informal gathering. 

Introducing our next Community Sadhana!!!
To prepare for White Tantric Yoga as a community we will be doing Sat Kriya for 40 days. How long? Well it's up to you: 11-31 minutes. Sign up on our Facebook page. Let's KEEP UP and help keep each other up!

Details about this event can be found on our Facebook event page or the website's calendar. We hope to see you there!

Bhangra dance party (and lessons) coming up on Saturday March 30. Mark your calendar & be there! Details on our calendar and our Facebook page.

Last week 10 yogis converged (Kundalini Convergence) to meet new and familiar faces. Many thanks to Hipsia Keister for hosting this event. We did a fun, short yoga set (thanks Akal Dev!) laughed & shared ideas.  For example, we hope to have a wellness/yoga day of healing to raise needed funds (stay tuned!)

Several folks had good intentions of showing up but were unable to. We want you to know that you were missed and we want to hear from you! Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey so we can better serve you! Interested in having a list of Kundalini Yoga teachers that could sub for you? Fill out that survey please!

We realize that all of the Kundalini Yoga classes that we are aware of are in SE Portland. If you know of classes elsewhere  tell us. We can't grow without your help! So get on over to that survey and tell us where you are and what ideas you have for getting Kundalini classes to a space near you or other ideas for building community! Keep your eyes, ears and hearts open for opportunities! In the meantime, let's continue to get together - brainstorming is so much more fun in a group of happy shiny yogis!

Would you like to hold a Kundalini Convergence in your part of town? Let us know! Email [email protected] and we'll help you get the ball rolling.
