DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINE \nUnderstanding your Ayurvedic dosha can provide valuable insights into your unique mind-body constitution and help you make informed lifestyle choices for optimal health. Ayurveda\, an ancient system of medicine originating in India\, classifies individuals into three primary doshas—Vata\, Pitta\, and Kapha—based on the predominance of certain elemental qualities. By identifying your dominant dosha\, you gain awareness of your inherent strengths and susceptibilities. This knowledge allows you to tailor your diet\, exercise routine\, and daily habits to balance your dosha\, promoting harmony within your body and mind. \nKnowing your Ayurvedic dosha enables you to address health concerns and prevent imbalances before they manifest as dis-ease. Ayurveda emphasizes the interconnectedness of the mind\, body\, and spirit\, viewing health as a state of equilibrium. By aligning your lifestyle choices with the recommendations for your dosha\, you can foster a sense of vitality\, mental clarity\, and emotional stability. \nBring balance to your life! \nDaily Schedule \nFriday 10/36:00–7:30pm Yoga Asana Class7:30pm Vegetarian dinner \nSaturday 10/46:00–7:15am Satsang (meditation\, chanting and a short talk)8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–4:00pm Talk: Seasonal Detox & Panchakarma5:00pm Vegetarian dinner7:00–9:00pm Sri Rhitom Sarkar in Concert (suggested donation $30) \nSunday 10/56:00–7:15am Satsang8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch 1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–4:00pm Talk: What’s My Dosha?5:30–7:00pm Satsang and Soup (optional) \nArrive Friday by 6:00pm and depart Sunday afternoon\, or stay for evening Satsang. \nEXTRA \nBook a body treatment (Abhyanga\, Shirodhara or both) by appointment on Saturday or Sunday.

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 workshop\, we will talk about building\, storing and chaneling prana. We will look at everyday experiences that increase or decrease your 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. In this course\, we will introduce and practice kapalabhati and anuloma viloma (alternate nostril breathing)\, in addition to sun salutations and relaxation. Each class will include approximately half an hour of theory and one hour of practice. Pranayama nurtures mental stability and a strong immune system. \nCommit to practicing regularly on your own\, or check out an archived session on IGTV any time. Follow us on Instagram at sivanandayoga_la \n \nCurriculum\n\nLearn a safe practice you can do daily\, building up the number of rounds at your own pace.\nBalance and calm the mind.\nTone your body\, internal organs and digestion.\nWe will look at classic sitting positions\, kriyas and anatomy of breathing.\nBuild your awareness of energy\, while consciously building\, storing\, purifying and chanelling prana.\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\, vigor and vitality\, and good concentration of mind.” The practice is easy and the benefits immediate. Cultivate the discipline\, with the encouragement of the group practice. \n___________________________________________________________________________________ \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone * \n will attend?

The word Yoga means union\, completeness\, wholeness of body\, mind and spirit. By self-healing\, we become whole\, perfect and complete. It’s the most essential topic because it’s about you. It’s about your life. It’s about healing from suffering—physical\, mental\, emotional. When you don’t know why you are here\, it can be also spiritual; you feel that you are in darkness.When the mind is agitated\, restless\, fearful\, always looking for something\, running\, jumping\, hiding\, the mind is not clear. You are not peaceful\, you’re not happy. It is important to calm your mind down so that you can recognize yourself. By contemplation\, you realize the Self. According to Vedanta philosophy\, the nature ofthe Self is happiness and knowledge. \n\n\n\nWe hope you can join us for this special retreat. Take time for yourself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial Guest Speaker\n\n\n\nAcharya Swami Sitaramananda (b. 1953) is in charge of the US West Coast and Asian Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers and Ashrams. She is director of the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm in Grass Valley\, CA and the Yoga Resort in Dalat\, Vietnam. A direct disciple of Swami Vishnudevananda\, she has been an active Karma yogi since 1982\, training thousands of Karma Yogis around the world. Her teaching style is dynamic and very clear. Her wisdom touches your heart. \n\n\n\nSwami Sitaramananda has always had an interest in health and healing\, especially in mental and emotional healing\, and is an advocate of the effects of yoga and meditation in health. She created the Sivananda Yoga Health Educator Training Program\, a 800-hour intensive program to help bridging medical sciences and classical Yoga. \n\n\n\nDaily Schedule\n\n\n\nMonday 6/154:00–5:30pm Afternoon Talk: Overcoming Fear\, Anxiety and Stress6:00–7:30pm All-Levels Yoga Asana Class7:30pm Vegetarian dinner \n\n\n\nTuesday 6/166:00–7:15am Satsang8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am All-Levels Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch1:00pm Karma Yoga4:00–5:30pm Afternoon Talk: Resilience in Life Struggles6:00–7:30pm All-Levels Yoga Asana Class7:30pm Vegetarian dinner \n\n\n\nWednesday 6/176:00–7:15am Satsang8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am All-Levels Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch \n\n\n\nArrive Monday by 4:00pm and depart Wednesday afternoon. \n\n\n\nOr come for the afternoon talk\, yoga and dinner! \n\n\n\nOnline: $120.

Cultivate energized intentional sound by bringing awareness to our tone. \nINSTRUCTOR \nGAAYATRI is a practicing Naad Yogini descending from one of the last living lineages of Naad Yogis. Her lineage\, the Rampur-Maihar Senia Gharana\, is one of the last living lines of music that can be traced back to Mian Tansen\, a legendary musician who bears training from the greatest Naad Yogi of living memory – Swami Haridas. It is one of the last living traditions of Naad Yoga where music is passed down to students as a deeply spiritual practice\, and practiced as a lifestyle. She is the first pure vocalist of this lineage since the 16th century and was trained to represent this rare vocal practice in its most authentic form. \nShe studied under the Late Ustad Ali Akbar Khan beginning her training with him in the traditional Guru-Shishya parampara at the age of 4\, studying with him for her whole childhood until his passing. Gaayatri’s unique style is characterized by its roots in the oldest form of Raaga music through Vedic Dhrupad. \nNOTE: A 5-session course on the fundamentals of Nada Yoga with Gaayatri starts May 3. 2025. \n\n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPhone * \n Stripe Phone you\n \n \n Email *How will you attend? *in persononlineWorkshops *4/12 Intro to Nada Yoga with Gaayatri - $30.004/12 Intro to Nada Yoga with Gaayatri (sliding scale) - $25.00Would you like to make an additional donation?Total$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit URL:https://sivanandala.org/program/intro-to-nada-yoga-2/ LOCATION:Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center Los Angeles\, 3741 West 27th Street1617 Broadway\, Suite C\, SANTA MONICA\, CA\, 90404\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sivanandala.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Gaayatri_Microphone.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250411T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250413T235959 DTSTAMP:20260610T024621 CREATED:20250305T224015Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250323T214430Z UID:10001083-1744329600-1744588799@sivanandala.org SUMMARY:Weekend Retreat: Yoga of Sound DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINE \nWith Gaayatri  \nPure sound affects the human body\, mind\, and spirit.

The strength of agni and doshas varies throughout the seasons.  \nThe Ayurvedic lifestyle is based on three things: \n• Routine – Performing healthy practices at the same time each day embeds them in your lifestyle. Your body will know when to prepare itself to wake up\, digest food and go to sleep. Regularity in your routines is essential. All of the body’s processes will benefit. \n• Moderation – Provides balance to our lives and prevents overindulgence. Most commonly\, the road to ill health begins with a lapse in judgment. Even though we know better\, we frequently choose to make unhealthy choices\, most often in pursuit of sense pleasures. This might be overloading the stomach with an excessive meal and disrupting our sleep cycle by staying up too late and sleeping during the day\, or suppressing natural urges to cry\, yawn\, or even go to the bathroom. \n• Tuning in to the natural rhythm of the doshas and agni – They naturally fluctuate during the day\, by season and across phases of life. \nBring balance to your life! \nSpecial Guest \nBased in San Francisco\, Lalitha Vaidyanathan is a Sivananda yoga teacher\, and lifelong practitioner of meditation. She is a certified Ayurvedic Health Practitioner trained by the Kerala Ayurveda Academy in the Bay Area. Lalitha has used the principles of Ayurveda to manage many of her personal health situations. She is passionate about sharing whatever she knows about this ancient science to help others heal and be well. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDaily Schedule \nFriday 2/76:00–7:30pm Yoga Asana Class7:30pm Vegetarian dinner \nSaturday 2/86:00–7:15am Satsang (meditation\, chanting and a short talk)8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–4:00pm Ayurvedic Daily Routines: Dinacharya4:00pm Nasya Demonstration (Ayurvedic Nasal Treatment)5:30pm Guidance on Ayurvedic ritual of eating6:00pm Vegetarian dinner7:30pm Guidance with nighttime routines \nSunday 2/96:00–7:15am Satsang7:15am Guidance with morning routines\, including self-abhyanga (please bring an old tshirt and an old pair of socks you don’t mind getting oil on)8:15am Shower and clean upBook an Ayurvedic body treatment at this time (optional\, by appointment)9:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class (optional) or rest time12:00pm Vegetarian lunch 1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–3:30pm Afternoon Workshop: Ayurvedic Teas and Spices for your Dosha6:00pm Gentle Yoga Class OR5:30–7:00pm Satsang and Soup (optional) \nArrive Friday by 6:00pm and depart Sunday at 4:00pm\, or stay for a gentle yoga class or evening Satsang. \nSuggested text: Practical Ayurveda.
