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. \n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLast		\n			Message or Name\n			\n		\n		Email *Phone *I will attend *in persononlineOptional DonationComment or MessageTotal$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Who Are You Beneath the Noise?
DESCRIPTION:WITH SWAMI GANGANANDA \nIN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link at least one hour before the first class. \n\n\nTHE ART OF SPIRITUAL STILLNESS\nMost of the time\, we move through life reacting rather than reflecting\, trying to meet expectations\, and keeping up with what needs to be done. In the middle of all this movement\, we rarely pause to notice what is behind it all. When the noise of daily life settles\, even briefly\, a simple question can arise: what remains when everything external is stripped away? \n\nJoin us for a talk exploring the wisdom of the Niyamas—the inner foundations of yoga that support clarity\, self-awareness\, and inner stability. These practices are not abstract ideals\, but practical ways of observing and understanding our inner world with greater precision and honesty. \nThrough this exploration\, we will look at how to: \n\nShift from automatic reactions to conscious awareness\nRecognize patterns that shape identity\, behavior\, and perception\nStrengthen inner stability beyond external circumstances\nDevelop clarity through self-observation and discipline of mind\nCreate space for a more grounded and authentic sense of self\n\nThis talk is not about finding a fixed answer to who you are\, but about learning how to see more clearly what is already present\, beneath roles\, habits\, and mental noise. \n\n\nKey Topics \n\nThe Niyamas as practical inner disciplines\nDeveloping self-awareness through observation\nUnderstanding mental patterns and inner conditioning\nBuilding stability independent of external validation\nCultivating clarity\, focus\, and presence\n\nDiscover how these teachings support a quieter\, clearer way of seeing yourself and your life—one based not on assumptions\, but on direct awareness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\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.		\n			Additional attend: Afternoon\n			\n		\n		Stripe Credit Card *EmailSubmit

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.		\n			will Phone Name\n			\n		\n		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 *FirstLast		\n			Comment I Phone\n			\n		\n		Email *Phone *I will attend *in persononlineDonation *Ayurveda Talk - $30.00Total Amount *$0.00Comment or MessageStripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Pranayama Practice
DESCRIPTION:With Swami Gangananda \nIN PERSON OR ONLINE \nPrana is the universal principle of energy or force. “Whatever moves or works or has life\, is but an expression or manifestation of prana.” Breath is the external manifestation of prana. With the regular practice of pranayama—or controlling prana—you can store this energy in your brain and nerve plexi. You need an abundance of prana to be healthy and strong. Hatha Yoga has developed this to a science. \nIn this class\, we will practice kapalabhati and anuloma viloma (alternate nostril breathing)\, in addition to sun salutations and relaxation. Learn a safe practice you can do daily.  \n\nBalance and calm the mind.\nTone your body\, internal organs and digestion.\n\nSwami Sivananda says\, “A pranayama practitioner will have a light body free from disease\, very fair complexion\, a sweet melodious voice\, and pleasant smell from his body. He will have good appetite\, cheerfulness\, a handsome figure\, good strength\, courage\, enthusiasm\, a high standard of health\, vigour and vitality\, and good concentration of mind.” \nThe practice is easy and the benefits immediate.  \n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *Yoga Experience?Please describe your yoga experienceHow did you hear about us?What do you hope to learn?Anything else we should know about you?		\n			know Anything you?\n			\n		\n		Pranayama Practice *75-minute class - $20.00I would like to attend *in-persononlineTotal$0.00Stripe Credit Card *EmailSubmit
