Within lies the power to heal body and heart; overcome illness and unhappiness, and reach a place of vibrant health, strength and peace.
Yoga is a transformative experience– integrating the mind- body- spirit. The results are subtle yet deep, proven to reduce stress and improve health. Whether you are experiencing the effects of trauma, stress, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, insomnia, injury, or disease–or you are maintaining a balanced state of wellness–we all can benefit by gaining a deeper understanding of how Yoga affects our physiology and learning practical applications of the tools Yoga provides for healing.
In this Satsang Raama will share how Yoga heals and explore ancient practices blended with modern science and take home evidence-based, practical strategies to enhance your own healing.
Satsang, a special time for us to come together as a community. In Sanskrit, Sat means truth and Sangha means community. Satsang offers an opportunity to come together to share spiritual teachings. The philosophy of Integral Yoga is explored, often through an informal discussion. Although spiritual paths may diverge, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring and creates a solid foundation for continued practice.
