THAI YOGA MASSAGE TRAINING (for Certification)
WHAT IS THAI YOGA MASSAGE?
Centuries ago, a dynamic bodywork therapy based on yoga and Ayurveda was born in the temples of Thailand.
In this unique healing system of Thai Yoga Massage - also called Nuad Boran and widely known as traditional Thai massage - the practitioner guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy ("Sen") lines and pressures points. Together these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically.
Thai Yoga Massage is performed on a mat on the floor; both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement and flexibility. No oils or creams are used. This training certification is being offered by and through the Lotus Palm Centre in Montreal, Canada.

HELP SAVE A LIFE!
Many of you might not know her, but just as many might...her name is What's her story? Well Adele has been living without kidneys for a few years now. You wouldn't know it just to look at her...she is one of the most fun-loving people we know. But just like life, we all have "our thing", right?
So here's Adele's...she needs a kidney URGENTLY! After years of trying to do this alone...living on dialysis...living through many surgeries...her body has finally decided that it can't take any more and she has finally decided to ask for help.
So this year, Moksha Yoga Trinidad is on a mission and this mission is called...
We would love to help her find a kidney donor and we are hoping that one of us...
from the MYT family... or even a friend of a friend to anyone in the MYT family will be able to help her.
- To find a donour, individuals will have to be tested to see if he/she is a match
- Once confirmed you are a match, the surgery will be performed at Mt. Hope
- It takes 10 days recovery for the donor
- Adele and her family will cover the cost of one (1) month's salary,
- PLUS any expenses that month
To some of you this may sound like a crazy request..."GIVE UP MEH KIDNEY??? ALLYUH MAD!" But this kind of things happens all the time, it is very safe for the donor and it means you get to take part in something great! But it is also something that you need to be educated about and a decision you need to be comfortable with. So stay tuned for a later email with full details, answers to many questions we know you'll have and the blueprint on THE PLAN!
ALL KARMA FUNDS FOR THIS MONTH AND FOR HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES WILL GO TOWARD HELPING TO SAVE ADELE'S LIFE!
So if you know for sure already that you don't want to donate an organ, you can participate in our "PAY-BY-DONATION" class which takes place at 5:45PM on FRIDAYS!
We'll use these funds to cover any of the expenses that come up for this drive and to help with Adele's family expenses.
Finally...
If anyone has any thoughts on how else they can help, please email Karen Blackman at karen@mokshayogatrinidad.com

Moksha Yoga Trinidad and The Sangha Co. Ltd. have officially launched an NGO/NPO - THE KARMA FOUNDATION! The very first project is the launch of a campaign called The Campaign for Change - Be Involved. Be The Change! This Campaign involves the sale of Karma Tags. There are six (6) different Karma Tags, each with a different symbol to represent six (6) causes and through the sales of each Karma Tag, The Karma Foundation will sponsor/support various non-government supported, community-based charitable orangisations.
The charitable organisations chosen, will focus on either Abuse, Poverty, Crime, the Environment, Discrimination and Animals - to help get the stray animals off of the roads. Each Karma Tag is hand-crafted in silver, by Jasmine Thomas-Girvan and comes with a Hemp Chain. The symbol represents the positive to each of these issues. Your choices are
Spread Peace Spread Love Lend a Helping Hand
Fight Crime Combat Abuse Fight Poverty

Help Save Our Help Stop the Effects of Help Protect Unwanted Pets &
Environment Discrimination Prevent Cruelty to Animals
The purpose of this project is to get each of us involved in trying to make a change... trying to make a difference, instead of letting corporations do all the work... encouraging us to be more and more immune to these issues each day!
The cost of each Karma Tag is $300.00 and 100% of the proceeds goes toward sponsoring those in need! NOTE: If you just cannot afford the cost of a Karma Tag, but would like to support the causes, you can donate directly to the various First Citizens accounts as listed below...
1) Crime Account - 1620053
2) Environment Account - 1620059
3) Poverty Account - 1620054
4) Animals Account - 1620055
5) Abuse Account - 1620057
6) Discrimination Account - 1620056
For those of you who can't decide on which Cause to choose, made-to-order Totem Karma Tags and Charm Karma Tags are available. You can also choose your own birthstone for the Charm Karma Tag. The cost is $2,000.00TT - $200.00TT going to each Cause and $800.00TT to the designer. Ask for details!
