SUMMARY:Yantra Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link an hour before class. \nA yantra is a powerful meditation tool\, both through the process—plotting the mathematical structure and systematically painting it—and as a symbol of the mantra it represents. It is a manifestation of the shakti (or power) of the mantra. Meditate on the central point of the finished yantra and feel it for yourself. You have brought the yantra to life. \nDr. Robert Svoboda has said\, “Creativity showers blessings on us\, on humankind\, and on the cosmos\, for the more we encourage creativity in ourselves\, the more creative the universe itself becomes.” \nElevate your consciousness by connecting to the Divine\, the universal cosmology. \nWe begin with the Ganesha yantra\, pictured above\, carefully drawing the sacred geometry. If you have completed a Ganesha Yantra\, you are welcome to work on a planet yantra. Each planet has a mantra and yantra and very specific energy. Participants work at their own pace. No experience necessary. If you join online\, a series of screen-share diagrams will be shown to clarify each instruction. Work at your own pace. \nMaterials will be provided for onsite guests. \nIf joining online\, please have these materials ready:Paper at least 12 x 12″ (ideally cold press watercolor paper)Compass (essential to draw circles!)Straight edge with metric measurementsPencilEraserPaints (gouache is ideal) or colored pencils \n. . . \nThe instructor\, Swami Sivasankariananda\, was trained by the late Pieter Weltevrede\, who was a student of Harish Johari. \n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *Email *Phone *How did you hear about us? *Yantra Painting *Yantra Painting Workshop - $45.00Yantra Painting Workshop (sliding scale) - $35.00I will attend: *in persononlineStripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Discipline Without Burnout
DESCRIPTION:WITH SWAMI GANGANANDA \nIN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link at least one hour before the first class. \nIn today’s fast-paced world\, discipline is often associated with pushing harder\, doing more and constantly striving for achievement. Yet many people find themselves exhausted\, or disconnected and overwhelmed. But what if discipline could be rooted in self-respect rather than self-pressure?\n \nIs there another way?\n \nJoin us for an insightful talk with Swami Gangananda. We explore how the ancient wisdom of the Yamas (ethical principle for how we relate to others) and Niyamas (provide a practical framework for self-development) can help us cultivate sustainable habits\, inner balance\, and meaningful personal growth\, resilience\, and well-being without sacrificing our mental and emotional health.\n \nAt the heart of this discussion is Ahimsa (non-violence)\, the practice of treating ourselves and others with kindness\, compassion\, and respect. Rather than forcing change through criticism or harsh self-discipline\, Ahimsa invites us to pursue our goals with awareness\, patience\, and care.\n\nWhether you are seeking greater focus\, healthier routines\, or a more balanced approach to achievement\, this talk offers timeless tools for creating discipline that supports—not depletes—your life. \nKey Topics: \n\nUnderstanding discipline through the lens of yogic philosophy\nThe role of the Yamas and Niyamas in everyday life\nPracticing Ahimsa toward yourself while pursuing goals\nBuilding sustainable habits without perfectionism\nFinding balance between effort\, rest\, and self-compassion\n\nCome explore a gentler\, wiser path to discipline—one that helps you thrive rather than burn out. \n\n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *I will attend: *in persononlineAfternoon Talks *8/16 Stories from the Mahabharata\, Part 2 - $25.008/23 A Conversation with Death: Stories from Katha Upanishad - $25.008/30 Beyond the Thinker: Stories from Mundaka Upanishad - $25.009/6 Wisdom from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika - $25.009/13 Inspiring Stories from the Ramayana\, Part 1 - $25.009/20 Inspiring Stories from the Ramayana\, Part 2 - $25.0010/4 A Life of Purpose: Seven Stages of the Spiritual Seeker - $25.0010/11 Glories of the Divine Mother - $25.0010/18 Intro to Vedanta - $25.0010/25 What's Holding You Back? - $25.0011/8 Diwali Stories - $25.00Additional Donation*Your tax-deductible donations help to keep these classical Yogic teachings available for humanity.Stripe Credit Card *NameSubmit

SUMMARY:Deep Nourishment from Your Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, July 12 @ 2:00–3:30pm \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nONSITE OR ONLINEWith Shanti Devi \n\n\n\nOnline registrants will be sent a Zoom link at least one hour before the program. \n\n\nIn this workshop we will dive deep into your nourishment for total wellbeing\, creating simple rituals for great health with easy recipes for true nourishment. \nYou will learn: \n• the importance of spices and herbs to help digestion. \n• cooking methods that help to facilitate absorption and assimilation of nutrients deep in the body’s cells.  \n• how tastes guide our choices and are the key to a balanced meal. \nYou will understand the principles that make up the pillars of great health according to Ayurveda. It will then all become more natural and  intuitive for you. We eat everyday. . and what we eat influences our health and energy level. \nMake food our ally for healing. Learn simple\, quick nourishing recipes that will alleviate the stress in your body. \nBuy less—but more nutritionally dense—foods and learn how to prepare them for easy digestion and absorption. \nNOTE: There will be foods to taste that build your digestive fire\, plus handouts with recipes and benefits of specific spices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTeacher\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nShanti Devi‘s wellness journey started in 2002 at a simple prenatal yoga class while pregnant with her first child. Throughout her young adult life\, she had felt anxious\, with an “uncomfortability” in her own skin. She would overdo\, and then feel completely depleted. In that very first Hatha Yoga class\, she experienced a feeling of ease that was new to her. She became more curious\, and with the discovery of Ayurveda—together with Yoga—her mind started to become calmer and her body started to heal. In 2014\, she enrolled in her first course. Little by little\, she understood the concepts and\, as a stay-at-home mom\, started incorporating them into her family’s daily life. Over the years\, she obtained various certifications in both Yoga and Ayurveda while continuously expanding her knowledge. It amplified her intuition and helped her to navigate the challenges of a busy modern life with more grace and ease. Now with kids grown up\, aging has become a very dynamic and exciting time. The key is to gain the understanding that our health and wellbeing lies in our own hands. When we reconnect with our innate wisdom we ignite the fire within for great vitality. Learning to cultivate intuitive healing practices is deeply fulfilling as it empowers us to step more fully into LIFE. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *I will attend *in persononlineDonation *Ayurveda Talk - $30.00Total Amount *$0.00Comment or MessageStripe Credit Card *Submit

This lively session first explores ways that stress wreaks havoc on all the systems of the physical body\, as well as the mind. We will explore gentle\, nourishing practices to calm the nervous system\, relax the body and steady the mind. Experience movement\, breath\, deep rest\, and meditation in a supportive space. Use these tools any time to feel refreshed\, centered and renewed. \n• Restoring Balance: Understanding Trauma and StressPresented by Jessica Mariglio\, MA\, MSc\, LMFTTrauma and chronic stress affect both the mind and body\, often leaving the nervous system in a prolonged state of tension\, alertness\, or exhaustion. When stressful experiences are not fully processed\, they can shape our thoughts\, emotions\, and physical wellbeing\, sometimes leading to anxiety\, fatigue\, or difficulty feeling safe and grounded. Over time\, this inner strain can disrupt sleep\, digestion\, and emotional balance. \n• The Heart and StressPresented by Kashyap Amin\, MD\, FACCStress affects the heart through both functional disturbances—such as palpitations\, chest discomfort\, and blood pressure fluctuations—and organic cardiovascular disease\, including atherosclerosis and myocardial dysfunction. The endocrine system plays a central role—stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline influence heart rhythm\, vascular tone\, inflammation\, and long-term cardiac risk. Understand the heart–brain–hormone connection\, with practical insights into prevention\, early recognition\, and holistic management of stress-related cardiovascular conditions. \n• Ayurveda’s Approach to Managing StressPresented by Lalitha Vaidyanathan\, Certified Ayurvedic PractitionerAyurveda views stress as a disruption to our body/mind’s natural equilibrium.  Whether the stress is caused by physical\, emotional or environmental factors\, the resulting imbalance can be understood through its expressions. Expressions such as anxiety\, inflammation\, and emotional withdrawal tell us a lot about how stress is causing imbalances in an individual’s body and mind. Once we understand the specific ways in which stress is expressing in an individual\, we can then use Ayurveda’s tools to manage the imbalance. Through diet\, lifestyle\, bodywork\, herbal supplements and yoga/pranayama/meditation\, Ayurveda gently and holistically addresses the imbalances and guides us back to our natural state of health\, wellness\, and equilibrium. \n• From Stress to Release: Finding Safety in the BodyPresented by Alexandra Erin Gross\, MA\, LMFT\, LPCCTrue relief from stress is not about forcing a positive mindset. Beneath stress often lives an emotion waiting to be acknowledged and allowed to move. In this experiential session\, we explore why suppressing or overthinking our emotions can keep us stuck and how bringing awareness to what we’re feeling creates the internal safety needed for stored tension to soften and move. You’ll leave with practical tools to navigate stress with greater clarity\, presence\, and ease. \n\n\n \n\n\n\nWe would like to thank Banyan Botanicals and Yogi Tea for their support of this event. \n\n\n\nFree parking onsite—first come\, first served Free street parking (limited availability on W 27th\, more availability on West Adams)Carpooling encouraged. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *Unwind & Thrive: Practical Tools for a Calmer You *Full day\, suggested donation - $150.00Full day\, sliding scale donation - $125.00ONLINE Morning Talks ONLY - $75.00ONLINE Panel Discussion ONLY - $30.00Any dietary restrictions?Total$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Teachings on Peace
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINEA Zoom link will be sent one hour before the event to online participants \nSwami Sivananda says that only removal of ignorance can stop all future wars and dissensions. Spiritual teachings on love and a sense of unity can prevent war on any scale. Everyone should have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the goal or purpose of life. Eckhart Tolle describes “a vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives.” Father Greg Boyle of Homeboy Industries talks about “the power of extravagant tenderness” and “feeling our wholeness.” Buddha attained inner peace by the practice of meditation\, which inspired him to work for world peace. Indeed\, finding peace ourselves is the most impactful achievement possible.                 \n\n \nRegister\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *PhoneHow will you join? *in persononlineTeachings on Peace *Theory of Hatha Yoga/Pranayama 5/24 - $25.00History of the Vedas 5/31 - $25.00Intro to Vedanta 6/7 - $25.00Additional Donation*Your tax-deductible donations help to keep these classical Yogic teachings available for humanity!Stripe Credit Card *NameSubmit

SUMMARY:Transform Your Negative Thoughts
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINEA Zoom link will be sent to online attendees within one hour of the workshop start time. \nWith Swami Divyananda\, C-IAYT \n\n\nWhat is a thought? What is the mind? And what does it really mean to be “negative”?\nIn the science of Raja Yoga\, thoughts are waves that rise and fall in the lake of the mind. The mind itself is an instrument — powerful\, creative\, but often restless. Negativity appears when these waves are clouded by fear\, attachment\, or misunderstanding.In this workshop\, we will explore how the ancient teachings of Yoga explain the nature of the mind\, the root of negative thinking\, and the practical steps to transform these patterns into peace\, clarity\, and light. Through awareness and yogic practice\, you will learn how to guide your mind instead of being driven by it.\n\n\n \n \n\nSwami Divyananda is a yoga teacher from Vietnam and a sannyasin in the Sivananda tradition. She started practicing yoga at the age of 20 and completed her TTC in 2016\, SYHET in 2020\, and ATTC in 2022.
