Part 2 Sunday, OCT 30, 11:30 am- 12:30pm PT:

Faith is hard to come by in a world gone mad … but it is the need of the hour. Faith in ourselves, faith in our path and our practice, faith in the enlightened souls who have shown us the way, and faith in the human capacity to transform and transcend. In this workshop we will explore how to develop our faith from a tiny spark to a steady presence of light and peace.

Part 1 Sunday, OCT 23, 11:30 am- 12:30pm PT:

“More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of” – Alfred Lord Tennyson. Sri Gurudev quoted this often while reminding us that there are “invisible hands” ready and waiting to come to our assistance. He also referred to the bhakti practices as the “shortcut” to lasting Peace.
Prayer requires the same kind of effort and discipline as our Japa or pranayama – and in this workshop
we will explore the different forms that prayer can take and how to cultivate a prayer practice.

Swami Divyananda Ma, E-RYT 500, has had a wealth of experience teaching Integral Yoga around the world since 1973. She has taught at corporations, universities, the Commonwealth Cancer Center, and for the Dr. Dean Ornish Reversing Heart Disease programs. She has also served as one of Integral Yoga’s Basic Hatha teacher trainers.
Swami Divyananda Ma took monastic vows in 1975 from the great saint and yogi, Sri Swami Satchidananda. Over the years she has served as the director of the Integral Yoga Institutes in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and as Ashram Manager at Yogaville. She also served for ten years as the director of the Integral Yoga Institute in Coimbatore, India; this immersion into the South Indian culture has given depth to her understanding and practice of Yoga.
