SUMMARY:Satsang: Pratipaksha Bhavana—The Light and the Shadow
DESCRIPTION:Online & In-person | By donation $0\, $5\, $10\, $15 \nBook now/Online Please register in advance\, a Zoom link will be provided via confirmation email. \nBook now/In-person Please review our In-person Safety Guidelines. \nThe Yoga Sutras outline a clear path for one’s spiritual growth. Often misunderstood as spiritual bypassing\, Pratipaksha Bhavana is often interpreted as replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. However\, when properly applied\, it’s a beautiful practice that helps us discover our true\, peaceful selves. If it’s misunderstood\, Pratipaksha Bhavana can lead to suppression and denial.\nJoin us in a rich exploration and discussion of this vital practice. We will examine how it can accelerate our growth in a very clear and simple way.\nA simple vegetarian meal will be offered after this in-person Satsang with a suggested donation of $5-10.\nSatsang is 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 our spiritual paths may diverge\, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring and creates a solid foundation for continued practice.\nPeople of all faiths are welcome.\nSwami Chidananda is a monastic and a longtime disciple of Sri Swami Satchidananda and has managed the finances for Integral Yoga’s ashrams\, institutes\, and teaching centers for decades. He teaches Hatha Yoga and leads study groups on Yoga and Buddhist teachings and philosophy. Swami Chidananda also conducts spiritual pilgrimages to India and Nepal. \nMia Velez\, E-RYT 500\, entered Integral Yoga Institute in 2016 through the kitchen as a volunteer cook at their silent retreats\, teacher trainings\, and weekly community lunches. In 2018\, she was certified as an Integral Yoga teacher to learn more about the IYI approach and be part of the lineage. Mia is a disciple of the Moy Yat Ving Tsun Kung Fu lineage and is highly influenced by her martial arts training. After completing her first 200-hour teacher training in 2008\, she saw undeniable parallels in Yoga and Kung Fu. She started teaching Kung Fu in 2014\, incorporating Yoga insight and principles in her classes. Her goal in teaching is to facilitate a safer space for self-inquiry that hopefully leads to liberation. She shares her joy and knowledge of yoga as a co-trainer for the Basic Teacher Trainings at IYI\, including the BIPOC Yoga Teacher Training; she teaches the healing properties of yoga to incarcerated men and provides stress management techniques to new parents. Yoga and Kung Fu are integrated into her daily life as a mother\, a preschool teacher\, and an advocate for gender\, race and class equality through multiple non-profit groups.
