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 person.online.		\n			Talks Donation Card\n			\n		\n		Afternoon Talks *7/5 What's Holding You Back?7/19 Discipline Without Burnout7/26 Protecting Your Energy in a Distracted World8/2 Who Are You Beneath the Noise?8/9 Stories from the Mahabharata8/16 A Conversation with Death: Stories from Katha Upanishad8/23 Beyond the Thinker: Stories from Mundaka Upanishad8/30 Wisdom from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika9/6 Inspiring Stories from the Ramayana9/13 Intro to Vedanta9/20 A Life of Purpose: Seven Stages of the Spiritual SeekerAdditional Donation*Your tax-deductible donations help to keep these classical Yogic teachings available for humanity.Stripe Credit Card *CommentSubmit

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 *		\n			Painting Credit Card\n			\n		\n		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:FREE TALK: What is Yoga Therapy??
DESCRIPTION:With Swami Sivasankariananda\, C-IAYT \nIN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link at least one hour before the talk. \nIn honor of Global Yoga Therapy Day\, we offer this free talk on how the practices of Yoga support holistic health on all levels—physical\, mental\, emotional\, intellectual and spiritual. Swami Sivananda\, who was a medical doctor\, says\, “All diseases take their origin in the mind.” A Yoga Therapist—or we prefer to call them a Yoga Health Educator—can help you discover where there are blockages and offer a personalized protocol of lifestyle/movement/breathing practices that are not overwhelming\, but begin to address the issue. Yoga Therapy can be one-on-one or in a group\, and can integrate with Western medicine. People often consult Yoga Therapists for general wellness and pain relief. Other health conditions can be benefitted\, such as cancer\, diabetes\, weight management and much more. \nSwami Sitaramananda developed our 800-hour professional Sivananda Yoga Health Educator Training\, accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). We are thrilled to have a team of certified Yoga Health Educators\, and many trainees to serve you. \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *I will attend *in persononlineOptional DonationComment or MessageTotal$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Pancha Karma Info Session
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE \nA Zoom link will be sent to online registrants within one hour of the workshop start time. \nWith Vaidya Bharathi \nShodhana Chikitsa is an Ayurvedic approach that is designed to free ama (toxins) from its storage sites in the body and return it to the digestive system. From there\, the ama and excess dosha will be expelled using specific cleansing practices that are often referred to as “Pancha Karma.” It is indicated when ama is present and the client is strong enough to withstand the rigors of cleansing. \nThere is a preparatory phase\, cleansing phase and recovery phase. In order for this treatment to be most effective\, all three phases must be given due attention. \nThe Yoga Farm is offering a 7-Day Pancha Karma Detox later this fall\, Vaidya Bharathi has agreed to offer a short presentation and answer any specific questions about the process or your eligibility.
