Power of Mantra workshop on ZOOM with Hal....Begins Wednesday, January 20th, 2021 5:30-6:40pm for 4 weeks. Cost $45

Swami Kripalu was, among other things, an accomplished musician and He created many love songs to God out of his own personal practice. The word, "bhajan" means reverence. It is architected like a song with verses and a chorus. The particular bhajan that we will dive into deeply in this class makes a case for chanting the name of the Lord..........as the BEST means to attain union with Him.

We will spend these 4 weeks learning to sing this bhajan which has been rendered in English in the meter of the original Gujarati version. Gujarat is one of the dialects of the Indian subcontinent. It opens up our understanding of WHY chanting is practiced by the saints.

Habits, Thoughts, Words.....ZOOM workshop with JoAnna and Hal Sundays for 3 weeks starting January 24th 3:30-4:45pm each Sunday.

The new year is a time for renewal and change. How do our habits, our thoughts and our words contribute to the ongoing development of who we are? This is the subject.........based upon a sutra from the Narad Bhakti sutras which says:

Watch your thoughts, for they become words,

Choose your words, for they become actions,

Understand your actions, for they become habits,

Study your habits, for they will become your character,

Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.

How would you like to change....be different?

How would you like to further your growth as a human being?

How can our habits suppoprt our goals?

How to create new habits?

How to work our way out of old, established habits that no longer serve us?

Cost: (on a sliding scale) $35-$65

The purpose of yoga is to reconnect with who you are at that deepest level........to reconnect with the stillness.....and the peace that resides deep in the heart. It can be experienced whenever there is total, uninhibited, unconflicted participation in the moment you are in..........when you are wholeheartedly present with whatever you are doing. At this time the mind has ceased thinking. It has taken a back seat and allowed experience to take over.........and with it...... a new sense of aliveness, a renewed sense of calm and renewed ability to deal with life with grace and clear perception.......emerges. It seems magical! Though in reality it is very scientifically induced. This is the science that is yoga.....and it has been around for thousands of years.

A regular yoga practice brings greater flexibility in the body......it also brings greater flexibiltiy in the mind......thus it develops life-enhancing qualities and abilities to manage all the changes and the challenges of this time. By centering ourselves regularly, by opening the breath in the body through movement....and by directing our focus inside...we can call upon our inherent capacity to brave all the storms of life with grace and calm.

Gathering grace and blessings in prayer......let us choose:

The essence 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!

Time truly slips through the windows of our manifest universe whether we are aware or not..................whether we are engaged or not........whether we are making the most of each moment or not...................... it trickles past the vision like grains of sand being poured back into the vast ocean of consciousness............so I urge you to take note............to breathe............to relax..........to be open to the next moment...............for it is all we really have

The ultimate mystery of life is only to be found within. Exclusive externalization of our energy causes distraction, distress, drama and disappointment........in the long haul. To maintain our physical and psychological health and well-being we all need time to go within. Yoga will help you live your life well........and when you are ready it will guide you on the path of the spirit back home to your true nature.

Welcome to Lakulish Yoga! With each passing day, hour, minute, second in time we renew our commitment to the path of spirit! May this time be one in which the inside "catches" our attention more than the outside.....so that we may truly live for a higher goal than our own personal pleasures.........All the practices of hatha yoga.......asana, breathing, chanting meditation yamas and niyamas among them........help to relax the body and the mind and stimulate pranic capacity..........to help us be our very best Self.

Let's breathe new life into the life inside our life!

Studying and chanting scripture is reccommended by Lord Krishna for the spiritual aspirant.....so that we can begin to embrace these principles in our lives....and make it personal! It's called swadhyaya and it is one of the niyamas. Sunday satsangas will begin again when we feel it is safe to be together in person. This will be offered monthly on Sunday afternoons 3:30-5 pm to create such a practice.......and after chanting a chapter of Bhagavad Gita we will chant more together.

Our new Lakulish Yoga sign and Logo is up....come check it out! Bapuji created our logo which is a Shiva lingam....an iconic representation of Divine Energy with the 3rd eye of wisdom....The all-knowing One embedded in it.

Highlights from our Yoga Camp! It was so much fun!

Through the process of our yoga practice we begin to create an inner space, an inside opening...........as a way to honor ourselves and clear the mind static and open to the deeper teachings which are embedded into our original memory....the divinity which dwells within.
