SUMMARY:Holistic Health Retreat: Yoga for Chronic Pain Relief
DESCRIPTION:WITH SWAMI SIVASANKARIANANDA \nAttend this therapeutic weekend program as a residential retreat or come as a day guest. \nWhen we are in pain it often feels immutable. The logical solution seems to be to turn away from the pain\, and even disconnect from the aspect of ourselves in which the pain is experienced. Learn the physiology of pain to see that pain is changeable. Explore pain care practices and techniques intended to change pain itself. \nJoin us for Hatha yoga classes\, breathwork\, meditation\, healthy vegetarian meals\, and educational workshops in a supportive spiritual community at the LA Sivananda Yoga Center. Empower yourself by creating a practical and holistic daily wellness routine. \nThis is a program of the Sivananda Institute of Health & Yoga. It offers guidance from the 5 Points of Yoga in the Sivananda tradition and the 4 Paths of Yoga. \nIncludes a 90-minute personal health review prior to the program (in person or via Zoom) and a one-on-one mini-consultation at the conclusion.

SUMMARY:ONLINE Challenging Planets with Komilla Sutton
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, November 6 • 1:00–3:00pm\nVIA ZOOM • Link will be sent out to registrants one hour before the program.\n \n\nCalming the Mind and Remembering Self as Soul during Challenging Planets \nPlanets are always creating issues—at times\, they bring crises. Planetary crises come in two forms. One comes from the natal chart and the other when the planets are under stress by transits\, and even when they are not reflected in our natal chart\, we have to live through the times. The mind is vulnerable to their influences\, and we can quickly lose self-identity and the soul’s purpose. How to deal with them and using Yoga and Jyotish to help deal with the planetary influences. Komilla will discuss the upcoming adverse planetary transits in 2022 and 2023 so that we can be mindful and remain calm.  \n\n \nKomilla Sutton is an internationally renowned consultant\, teacher & lecturer. Her Academy teaches 3-year online courses. She is the co-Founder & Chair of the British Association of Vedic Astrology\, has been leading trips to India since 1999 and sponsoring Vedic Astrology Conferences in India since 2013.

Social connection is essential. \nThe Yoga of RelationshipsHow can we benefit from better relationships? How do we create and sustain them? Why do they change? Yoga has some keys for understanding ourselves and others. There are many kinds of relationships and they occupy our minds and our lives more than we realize. Yoga teaches how to walk the middle path between independence and connection. \nThe Yoga of Compassion: Art of CommunicationHere Yoga teaches about finding clarity in our sharing by the practice of empathy or feeling the experience of others without judgement.  Many people around the world have discovered the tremendous value of this awareness through some simple exercises and explanations.  Yoga helps this process by resolving the opposition of theory and actual life experiences gained by spiritual seekers. \n  \nDaily Schedule\nFRIDAY 7/16:00–7:30pm – Yoga class7:30pm – Vegetarian dinner7:30–8:45pm – Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita (optional) \nSATURDAY 7/26:00–7:15am – Satsang (silent meditation\, chanting and a talk)8:00am – Light breakfast10:00–11:30am – Yoga Class12:00pm – Vegetarian lunch1:00pm – Karma yoga2:00–3:30pm – Yoga of Relationships4:00–5:00pm – Relaxation Techniques6:00pm – Vegetarian dinner7:30pm – Peace Chanting \nSUNDAY 7/35:30am – Meditation6:00–7:15am – Peace Chanting and Satsang8:00am – Light breakfast10:00–11:30am – Yoga Class12:00pm – Vegetarian lunch1:00pm – Karma yoga2:00–3:30pm – Art of Communication4:30pm – Dinner5:30pm – Satsang \nMONDAY 7/46:00–7:15am – Satsang8:00am – Light breakfast10:00–11:30am – Yoga Class12:00pm – Vegetarian lunch \nArrival & Departure\nArrival: Recommended check-in time is 2:00pm Friday.  \nDeparture: Check-out time is 12:00pm. \n  \nWhat to bring\nSlip on shoes\, loose comfortable clothing\, writing materials\, meditation shawl or blanket\, yoga mat\, sitting cushion and water bottle. \n \n  \nRegister \n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPhone *Email *Which date? *March 6–8April 10–12May 1–3Yoga for Beginners Retreat *All sessions\, plus private room with private bath accommodation (2 nights) - $565.00All sessions\, plus private room with shared bath accommodation (2 nights) - $485.00All sessions\, plus shared room with shared bath accommodation (2 nights) - $385.00All sessions as a day guest (lunches included) - $200.00All sessions online - $175.00Would you like to make an additional donation?		\n			Email Name an\n			\n		\n		Total$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:ONLINE Seeking the Purity and Sattva of Jupiter
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, July 25 • 1:00–3:00pm PDT\nVIA ZOOM • Link will be sent out to registrants one hour before the program.\n \nJupiter is the guru\, the planet of wisdom. We all want to understand his message and experience his blessing in our chart. We need to study Jupiter’s role in our Rashi and Navamsha charts\, and know the impact of conjunctions. The two main positive Yogas involving Jupiter are Gajakesari and Hamsa Mahapurusha; the negative Yogas are Sakata and Guru Chandala. We will look at directional strength (digbala position) and the first house\, exaltation and debilitation\, plus\, why the third house is a negative placement for Jupiter. We not only need Jupiter to be pure and sattvic\, but we need to use with yogic principles to keep the blessings of Jupiter alive and pure. All will be revealed in this lecture. \n \nKomilla Sutton is an internationally renowned consultant\, teacher & lecturer. Her Academy teaches 3-year online courses.

SUMMARY:ONLINE Pain is Changeable Across Different Practices of Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 30 • 12:00–1:30pm PDT\nVIA ZOOM • Link will be sent out to registrants one hour before the program. \nWhen we are in pain it often feels immutable. The logical solution seems to be to turn away from the pain\, and even disconnect from the aspect of ourselves in which the pain is experienced. This session will begin with brief discussion of pain physiology to deepen our understanding that pain is changeable. We will then explore pain care practices and techniques informed by the kleshas and intended to change pain itself. \nNeil Pearson BA\, MSc\, PT\, C-IAYT\, ERYT500\, YACEP is a physical therapist\, a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University British Columbia\, and a certified yoga therapist.

SUMMARY:ONLINE How Much Pain is Okay During Asana?
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 29 • 12:00–1:30pm PDT\nVIA ZOOM • Link will be sent out to registrants one hour before the program. \nPain is a human condition commonly experienced in yoga practice\, both during movement and stillness. Yoga teaches us\, and pain science confirms\, that pain is not an accurate indication of tissue health or of tissue damage\, neither is it an experience to ignore. This session provides reflection\, practice and knowledge\, to explore the intersection of pain and safety while answering the question of how much pain is okay during asana practice. \nNeil Pearson BA\, MSc\, PT\, C-IAYT\, ERYT500\, YACEP is a physical therapist\, a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University British Columbia\, and a certified yoga therapist.

SUMMARY:ONLINE Jyotish Study Course: Nakshatras with Komilla Sutton
DESCRIPTION:Saturday and Sunday\, June 27–28  •  8:30–10:30am and 12:30–2:30pm each day\nVIA ZOOM • Link will be sent to registrants the day before the program.\n \n\nThe Nakshatras – the Lunar Mandala Nakshatra literally means a star in Sanskrit. A star is a point of cosmic light. Naksha means to get closer and Tra means to preserve. And nakshatra also means one that never decays’: their cosmic remit is to be the guardians of the soul during its journey through many human lifetimes and bring divine knowledge of the Deity. \nThe original nakshatra division was on 28 sections but this is not longer so prevalent\, although some techniques will use 28 nakshatras. Nakshatras division of the sky into 27 sections relates to the Moon as it stays in one Nakshatra for a day. Each Nakshatra compromises 13°20″ of the ecliptic – the degrees covered by the Moon in a 24 hour day. \nEach Nakshatra is a group of several thousands of fixed stars. Each Rashi sign has 2 ¼ Nakshatras. Nava Grahas or nine planets rule the 27 Nakshatras. Nakshatras are divided into three cycles of nine\, which are always ruled by the planets in the same order. The nine planets are Ketu\, Venus\, Sun\, Moon\, Mars\, Rahu\, Jupiter\, Saturn and Mercury. The 28th intercalary nakshatra is called Abhijit. Read more on why below. \nAlthough the Moon’s position in a nakshatra is of prime importance\, the quality of the other planets gets influenced and altered by their nakshatra position. To study the deeper meanings of life\, the nakshatra placements of all planets must be analyzed and this will give a better understanding of the inner motivations. \n\n \nKomilla Sutton is an internationally renowned consultant\, teacher & lecturer. Her Academy teaches 3-year online courses. She is the co-Founder & Chair of the British Association of Vedic Astrology\, has been leading trips to India since 1999 and sponsoring Vedic Astrology Conferences in India since 2013.

SUMMARY:ONLINE Retrograde Planets with Komilla Sutton
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 30 • 1:00–3:00pm\nVIA ZOOM • Link will be sent out to registrants one hour before the program.\n \nRetrograde planets travel closer to the earth—what is their impact on our lives? Retrograde planets in your chart show an unusual energy\, something unsettled\, a hesitation to express yourself. The planet slows\, slows more\, stations\, begins to retrograde\, then before going direct again\, it slows and stations. Each quality of movement will affect the planet’s energy. Being in the dasha of a retrograde planet can create health issues. On average\, we experience at least one planet in retrograde about 80% of the time. Learn more about the subtleties of this illusion of backward movement of the planets in their orbits.

SUMMARY:ONLINE The Culprits Rahu and Ketu with Komilla Sutton
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 26 • 1:00–3:00pm\nVIA ZOOM • Link will be sent out to registrants one hour before the program.\n \nThe symbol for Rahu and Ketu is the snake\, which in mythology represents both wisdom and poison. Transformation\, death and rebirth are similar themes. The lunar nodes as shadow planets—or secretive planets—can create fear and anxiety through their hidden energy. Their messages can be hard to understand. North node Rahu’s obsession is with the future\, we are always hungry\, never satisfied. Positioned directly opposite Rahu\, Ketu’s obsession is with the past. It is idealistic and unrealistic\, always rejecting things. The mind is pulled in both directions. What is needed is the present-moment awareness to process the information.\n \n \nKomilla Sutton is an internationally renowned consultant\, teacher & lecturer. Her Academy teaches 3-year online courses. She is the co-Founder & Chair of the British Association of Vedic Astrology\, has been leading trips to India since 1999 and sponsoring Vedic Astrology Conferences in India since 2013.
