Other health conditions can be benefitted\, such as cancer\, diabetes\, weight management and much more. \nThis session will include a talk\, time for questions and a short practice you can do in your chair right in front of the computer screen. \nSwami Sitaramananda developed our 800-hour professional Sivananda Yoga Health Educator Training\, accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT).

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 *		\n			Email Credit Stripe\n			\n		\n		Phone *I will attend: *in persononlineAfternoon Talks *10/11 Glories of the Divine Mother - $25.0010/18 Intro to Vedanta - $25.0011/1 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 *MessageSubmit

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 *		\n			Email Afternoon Name\n			\n		\n		I will attend: *in persononlineAfternoon Talks *10/11 Glories of the Divine Mother - $25.0010/18 Intro to Vedanta - $25.0011/1 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 *PhoneSubmit

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 experience		\n			hear Pranayama learn?\n			\n		\n		How did you hear about us?What do you hope to learn?Anything else we should know about you?Pranayama Practice *75-minute class - $20.00I would like to attend *in-persononlineTotal$0.00Stripe Credit Card *CommentSubmit
