The essense of yoga is about connecting inside and learning to source our lives from the divinity that resides within that is "brighter than 1000 suns!" It is a journey back home to the SELF, the grandest adventure of all time, merging  back to the brightest part of ourselves! 

Yoga Summer Camp is over for our children and adults with disabilities...... We were joined this year by Shannon Ash, one of our current yoga teacher trainees.............she was and is wonderful! It was great to have her on board!

We wish you all a wonderful new in year in 2017! ........And in beginning this year anew we invite you to become a part of our yoga family in one of the many ways we exist to support and nurture the Divine within......to celebrate the Self which lies in wait (in wait for you) in the deepest recesses of your Being.......

2016 proved to be very special to us because it marked our 10th year in the pure magnificence of our Beloved Teacher, Swami Ashutosh Muni. It has been ten wondrous, amazing, and awe-inspiring years in an indepth study of the Bhagavad Gita and in learning to make strides towards the brilliance that lies within under such loving and knowledgeable guidance and most of all LOVE. We remain always so grateful.

Sunday Satsangas in September to deepen your experience of yoga:

1. September 3rd - singing Bhagavad Gita....the "song of God" a chapter to be announced....in English!
2. September 15th - we will sing chapter 6, entitled "Self Discipline".

This is our wonderful crew from June camp 2016! We introduced the children to meditation and described this discipline as a method to access the FORCE. We used the Star Wars vernacular because they know and understand it well.........however we also talked about other words that mean the same.........chi.........spiritual energy..........prana...... the holy spirit. Meditation is proven to help children  focus and attend to a task without distraction......like schoolwork or any endeavor they choose to pursue in their lives.

We also introduced the children to chanting........which is yet another form of meditation. We had lots of fun!

We are excited to sprinkle this new year with many opportunities to nurture and grow our spiritual family of seekers. The soul is forever..... as we have been chanting in Bhagavad Gita.........it is "uncuttable, unburnable, unwettable, undryable"........ yet it is very delicate....... you could say it is timid....... and requires time and practice and purpose to bring it to the forefront of our lives..... our thoughts and emotions. Purity and clarity of awareness..........  is the essence of this inner most conscious Self ..............and is something that we seek to embolden to direct the course of our lives in a more purposeful manner. This is our aim................ for ourselves and this family.

Since January 2016 we have begun to meet on Sundays to sing  the Bhagavad Gita in English which has been translated meticulously by our Bapuji in the same rhyme and meter as the original Sanskrit text (this has NEVER been accomplished before now and IT IS AMAZING!!! - we sing a chapter just the way it is done in Temples of Mother India) and do aarti together. This is very special and very exciting for us.......a sublime practice to begin to embed this holy scripture deep into our psyches. Aarti is an offering of light........a prayer to all the masters and saints that walked this path before us......that they may light our way forward....one step at a time.
