The GREATER ASHEVILLE YOGA ASSOCIATION's December Sangha Social is bringing together area yoga teachers to do a little noshing, socializing and Seva. What a great way to spend a Sunday morning!

Come by West Asheville Yoga Center December 13th around 11:00. There will be yummy Chai and munchies, some on-going Kirtan you may want to join, and lots of your favorite yogis and yoginis to catch up with. Bring some food and/or a coat to donate to area organizations who help bring a little more comfort to those in need this holiday season.

Look forward to seeing you there!

A special Thanks to Cat Matlock for donating the space and for the West Asheville Bakery for providing some yummy treats.

We are gathering again!  Please come to our Sangha Social potluck on Thursday November 12th at 7:00pm. Come and socialize with fellow yoga teachers and bring a veggie dish to share. We will have a brief update on GAYA's progress and Melanie will lead us in a game.

The potluck will be held at Timothy Burgin's home at 135 Louisiana Ave in West Asheville. As driveway parking is limited, you will most likely have to park on Pruett or Tangelwood streets.  View map here.

Please come to our 2nd Information meeting on Monday December 8th at 7:00pm.  Below is the agenda for the meeting:

1) Potluck and socialize.
What can be more yogic than breaking bread with old and new friends?  Bring a veggie dish to pass and find out what's happening on the Greater Asheville Yoga Scene.

2) Short progress report on GAYA
   a. Update on non-profit status, GAYA board members, and budget
   b. Membership update
   c. Seva needs for GAYA
   d. Future plans

3) Games.  Life is just a great play right?  So why not embody the duality we live in and engage in a little friendly competition. Remembering, of course, that ultimately we are all one.  Charades, Cranium, and other fun filled activities for our amusement.

The meeting / potluck will be held at Timothy Burgin's home at 135 Louisiana Ave in West Asheville.  As driveway parking is limited, you will most likely have to park on Pruett or Tangelwood streets.  View map here.
