Event Rockingham's Biggest Yoga Event Village Green(Near the war memorial) Sunday, March 8 6-7pm Gold coin donation

Yoga mats will be rolled out across Village Green this Sunday as residents stretch for a cause at Rockingham's Biggest Yoga Event.

Body Prep Outdoor Group Training and Yoga owner Mandy Collins said she was holding the event to help the Warnbro Swans Integrated Football team raise much needed money.

"It is a great way to get the community involved in yoga but also to raise funds to help the team get what they need," she said.

Ms Collins said the team was given a taste of yoga at a training session last week and were hooked.

"Yoga complements their training, it's a great stretch and relaxation exercise for the body, it also focuses the mind," she said.

Whether you're a footy player, elderly, or young, Ms Collins said yoga was both enjoyable and beneficial.

Vice-president Wayne Hunt said the team was hoping to raise $1000 to buy new training jumpers and shorts.

"Integration is about the players being the same as everybody else, so if you want play football you train the same way you play, in shorts, a footy guernsey and boots," he said.

Stretch for biggest yoga event

He is Bikram Choudhury, 69, the father of the famous Bikram yoga.

The reach of Bikram yoga is so far and wide that you can find a Bikram yoga-affiliated studio in almost every continent.

The man now finds himself in the midst of allegations of sexual assault and rape by women who had attended his classes.

Ms Diane Lee, 46, director of BYCH Hot Yoga here, had trained under him in 2004 at his international headquarters in Los Angeles.

She has been practising yoga since 2001 and Bikram yoga since 2003.

She says he never behaved inappropriately towards her and she did not see him misbehave with the other female students either.

But he had a habit of saying politically incorrect things.

"He said that all the time in my training. We just laughed about it.

People did say that enough is enough and it is true, it was wrong.

"But we all knew he is politically incorrect. He just says what he thinks.

Yoga inside Tulsa jail; violent inmates practice

Cindee Joslin, the owner of a school in Bentonville that teaches yoga instructors, was preparing for her first training session when she received a letter from a state regulatory board in July notifying her that she had to get a license or apply for an exemption. Otherwise, she risked being fined.

At the time, her future students had paid their tuition and had temporarily relocated from other states.

"I was very concerned -- very, very concerned," said Joslin, owner of Yoga Story. "I was on pins and needles there for awhile."

Seven months later, because of a change to Arkansas law that the state's 12 yoga teacher-training schools initiated, Joslin tossed out the "stack" of paperwork she had been working on to receive a license.

"I was so relieved when I got to throw that away," she said. "It's a huge victory."

Twenty days after Sen. Uvalde Lindsey, D-Fayetteville, and Rep. Charlie Collins, R-Fayetteville, introduced a bill to exempt yoga teacher-training schools from the authority of the state Board of Private Career Education, Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed it into law.

The legislation, enacted Feb. 11, amended the code governing the board -- which oversees private post-secondary career schools for fields such as real estate, bail bonds, and tattooing and body piercing -- to prevent it from exerting its authority over yoga teacher-training programs and other instructor-training programs, including dance, music, horseback riding, and sewing, knitting and other needle-crafts.

Lindsey said the programs were "avocational and recreation" and therefore should not be regulated by the state. Collins said the board's action to license the schools was "government overreach" because "there was not a breakdown in their system as it currently existed."

Now, the state Board of Private Career Education is sending back applications and refunding fees submitted by three yoga teacher-training schools that went through with the licensing process.

"We will not license them," said Brenda Germann, the state agency's director. "We'll go from there and move on. If they need us for anything, we're here."

Evolve All of Us

Posted on February 16, 2015

This emerging social potential movement is not revolutionary, but evolutionary. Its aim is not to destroy, but to fulfill. When the butterfly emerges, it doesnt deny the caterpillar it is the caterpillar evolved. This movement is not an attack on another group or an assertion that our way is better. The movement is not here to attack but to attract. Its purpose is to evolve all of us, our communities, and our world so that all people are free to fulfill their highest potential.

REMARKABLE PEOPLE, barbara marx hubbard

1993 Thresholds interview

The Age of Co-Creation

Hubbard: I mean there is a major shift in the relationship between humans and God, from the passive creature child to the active participant in the process of creation. We are the co and the Creator is the creator. We are the first generation to be conscious of evolution, and responsible for guiding our evolution on a planetary scale. Conscious evolution occurs on three levels. The first level is a deeper intuitive knowing of the pattern -- attunement, guidance to the process of creation, both personally and for our species. The second way is through science and technology. Were learning how nature works. We can build new life forms. We can clone embryos. We can build new worlds in space. We can change bodies. We can create new organisms. This is literally physical co-creation. It has now happened. The third way is socially. We must become co-creators because were affecting our social environment by everything we do -- how many babies we have, what kind of cars we drive, how we handle our waste. We have become co-creators with nature and natures God in handling our social as well as our physical environment. Co-creation occurs because we are created in the image of God and now is the time when the Godlike powers are being given to the human race. If we misuse those powers we will go through an Armageddon-type scenario because self-centered humanity cannot inherit these full powers of creation. They are too destructive. All throughout history there have been individuals who have shifted from the separated self to the unified self, but now, because of the power, there has to be a much larger number of people making that shift rapidly. And thats why I call it the Age of Co-creation.

Thresholds: How do you propose that people learn how to be responsible for this power that we have?

Hubbard: Well, there are many different ways in which it is happening. One is the whole New Thought movement. Thousands of people are attracted into a spiritual growth practice to attune to the inner divine. In Unity and Religious Science and Christian Science millions of people are learning about the indwelling divine and how to relate to it. Through the environmental crisis and the feedback from our environment that we will destroy our life support systems, were scrambling to understand how a whole planetary system works, how to preserve species, how to get the feedback from nature and not destroy this natural system. With the advent of global television, were aware of whats happening throughout the planet. Were aware of hunger, starvation, disease, violence, torture. So on the social level, were learning by feeling with other members of our species as well as other species, like the whales and the endangered species, that we have to be responsible. The new information is flooding in from many, many quadrants. Even deeper than all of this is the fact that nature raises consciousness and freedom through the formation of a more complex and harmonious order. Nature raises consciousness through more complex systems, as from molecule to cell, single cell to animal, or animal to human. Theres no doubt that planet Earth is a living system. Its complexifying, Teilhard de Chardins phrase, rapidly. Were all members of this one complexifying body. By the very nature of the organism that were part of, we are each being connected into the larger whole. We tend to be more aware of our part in the whole now by natural evolution.

Thresholds: How do we bring up the next generation to have some kind of vision of that, and to be a part of the whole? One of the things I see as a problem is that in the public school system you cant even talk about God or bring up anything that is considered to be religious. How do you see education fitting with bringing about a vision for the future?

Hubbard: Well, I think there is just a terrible lack in our educational system on all levels. I mean, when you think of the public schools and the degree of violence and despair and drug abuse, that is a serious social disease. Were going to realize that only through educating the person can our society evolve. Policy changes at the governmental level, Social Security and social welfare programs alone will not suffice. There has to be a shift in our understanding of the value of the person. Education is going to have to focus on values and responsibility, and how to be responsible for your health, for your relationships, for your diet, for your vocation. The current educational system just doesnt do it! Usually things evolve through success. So the children who are fortunate enough to be in schools like Montessori or Waldorf schools or [those] who go to schools like I saw today [Unity Church in Overland Park, Kansas] with 200 children who are in Unity Church Sunday school [experience] a powerful effect. Their parents are in New Thought so they are getting it at home. As more and more parents are sensitive, of course the children will be getting it that way, too.

Thresholds: In your address at Unity today and in your book, you speak of the importance of people discovering what their personal vocation is and really fulfilling their destiny. What do you think is the best way for people to do that early in life?
