Creative Flow with Julie Peters: Articles, new classes, Wayne's World, Sound Healing Workshops, and more!

[Julie Peters]

Hey everyone! Welcome to my newsletter! 

This summer has really zoomed by. Lots has gone on, including a week in Charlotte, North Carolina, where I was competing with the Vancouver Poetry Slam against 80 other teams from all over the world [which you can read about here: http://www.spiritualityhealth.com/blog/jc-peters/yoga-your-pocket] but you must know about this Haiku I heard from Eurydice: 

People say beauty 

comes from within so wear your 

liver on your face 

I also taught a 25 hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training on Teaching as Storytelling with some amazing students. I'm cooking up another one for the new year that will be split up onto the weekends, so watch out for that if you are interested. We talked a lot about finding your own voice, and the courage to really be yourself as a teacher. And, you know, Wayne's World. [you can read about that here: http://www.spiritualityhealth.com/blog/jc-peters/be-yourself-leave-people-pleasing-bee-gees]

This coming Saturday September 1st, from 2-4pm, I'm teaming up with my partner, Daniel Shaw, to offer an experience of Restorative and Yin yoga called Sounds of Healing. It will be supported with props and hands on healing (optional of course) with the healing sounds of crystal bowls, throat singing, poetry, and other good vibrations. This is a rare experience, and one that we are really excited to offer. Space is limited, but there are still spots left. The link to preregister is on this page: http://eastsideyoga.ca/node/290

Speaking of Restorative, I'm really looking forward to the new additions to my fall schedule: 

Restorative Yoga at East Side Yoga on Sundays at 12pm 

 Hatha Yoga at Highgate YYOGA on Wednesdays and Thursdays 

Power Vinyasa at Semperviva Kits Beach on Sundays at 5:30pm

This makes me really happy. Come hang out with me! Full teaching schedule here: http://www.jcpeters.ca/yoga-teaching-schedule/

My last two offerings are these: 

 All the poetry and heavy topics present at the poetry slam got me thinking politics, violence in movies, and sex on TV. I wrote this elephant journal article on trigger warnings after Girl with the Dragon Tattoo traumatized me one evening. http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/08/i-need-to-be-in-control/

If you haven't heard it yet, you can listen to me wax on about all the things that are important to me and how yoga is revolutionary on my friend Stacey Fenske's Yoga Voice podcast: http://yogavoice.podhoster.com/index.php?pid=31673

So that's lots of, um, me. My brother would call this email the Julie Show. Which, yes it is. Enjoy. :) 

Be in touch anytime, and hope to see you soon! 

Peace, love, and unicorns, 

JC
