Disability, Sexuality, and Some Yoga Tips!

Hey guys! So I've been thinking about the topic of disability and
sexuality and found an interesting article about a girl in Spain with a
disability that has written a thesis on the topic:This article is in
Spanish so for all you Spanish speaking students--Here is the link!

Another Spanish article:

Also, a video on a woman who is combating sex and disability through art:

As we are approaching the second round of midterms, I recommend exploring
de-stressing activities in the Berkeley/SF area! Maybe a weekend day bike
ride or bart visit to the SF Zen Center (One of the most peaceful places
to me around here :)) http://www.sfzc.org/.  They have many different free
community events throughout the week that are great personal boosters!

Some fun free events I have found in the area!
Also, Donation-based yoga on Shattuck @ Yoga to the People.
Free Community Prostrations at Yoga Mandala on Telegraph, Ave.
Free Community Yoga at Yoga Kula on North Side on Thursdays!
Free first week of yoga @ Core power yoga down University!
Free fruit samples at Berkeley Farmers Market (haha!) on Center St.
Saturday Mornings Downtown Berkeley/Thursday afternoons on Rose St.
Free awesome slide/picnic area at Corondices Park on North Side
(BYOC(ardboard) if you want to slide fast!!)
Free trial of vespa scooters (at the green choice on Bancroft! Even if you
are underaged ;))

Hope Everyone has a wonderful week!
Peace,
Patrice

  1. Thanks so much for the tips Patrice, I LOVE my donation-based yoga, and could use some new places. The video in the link doesn't seem to be working for me, but it looks really interesting. Let me know if you find another link or video of hers. I'd love to check it out.
