ANOTHER YOGA HERO
by Melissa Perehudoff
 | Tammy Thomas
|
Have you ever wondered who the garden fairies are that keep the grounds of Kelowna Yoga House looking so tidy and beautiful? That would be Tammy Thomas and the gardening committee! Tammy started taking yoga thirteen years ago at Rutland YMCA with Doug Bauer (a devoted KYH board member) as her teacher and has been attending the Kelowna Yoga House the past twelve years. She has been the leader of the gardening committee for the past five years, currently with Catherine Norris and Maureen Lisle. Tammy says she enjoys giving back to the Kelowna Yoga House because she receives so much from the centre and its welcoming atmosphere, filled with friendly people and nice conversation. She finds the patience and compassion of the teachers at Kelowna Yoga House is reflected in the nonjudgmental atmosphere of the students.

UPDATE FROM PHOFI
Greetings to all of you from Beijing, China
It is now a full month since I arrived at Beijing airport and I can say that I have adjusted to the Chinese rhythm of life a little. My sign language is excellent, also my Greek and English but the rest is Chinese to me. Beijing is a HUGE city with many different centres beside the main one we all know of Tian'anmen square. All of them have their own distinct features: buildings, temples, parks, shopping centres that lure the stranger for a visit. Modern Beijing has moved architecturally away from the austere rectangular buildings of the 50s to a free, fascinating and daring style which has transformed the city to a cosmopolitan capital. Old Beijing with its palaces, temples, narrow alleys holds its everlasting charm.
 I live in the campus of Beijing Foreign Studies University in the Haidian district near the Summer Palace. Life in the university and in the city is much the same as in Canada, so far I have not been lucky to visit a Chinese home and get a taste of the real Chinese life, but there are few months left until I return. Till then,
Namaste,
Phofi
