Welcome to our January newsletter.

Well what a start to 2010 that was - snow, ice and some of the most breathtaking winter wonderland views around.

One of the nicest things to come out of our enforced homestay was that we got to watch lots of birds visiting for food and water. Many of these we'd never seen in our gardens before; pied wagtails, fieldfares and blackcaps. Now we're hoping that they will be back this weekend as we're all taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. All you need to do is spend 1 hour on either Saturday or Sunday and simply count the birds that land in your garden. A wonderful way to enjoy relax, nature and help Britain's birds.

Namaste, Emma

World Yoga Day - 31st January 2010

On Sunday the 31st of January 2010, yoga teachers and schools around the world will donate their time and space to a two hour yoga session which is devoted to human rights.

The class should be held from 11AM - 1PM sharp, local time in each time zone, which will lead to a 24 hour yoga marathon around the world. Devoting our thoughts and energy globally to the human rights issue will generate a powerful impact.

Students attending the event will donate whatever tuition they can afford. All contributions are welcome and also students who can't pay at all - the money is important to help victims of human right violation but so is the spirit.
