SUMMARY:Yoga for Strong Bones
DESCRIPTION:$16 | Online – first Saturday of each month. \nBook now/OnlinePlease register in advance; a Zoom link will be emailed 1 hour before the session\, or join Zoom directly via your Momence dashboard. \n\nDid you know that yoga can help strengthen your bones? Research by Dr. Loren Fishman shows that practicing specific yoga poses can improve bone density and quality\, helping prevent fractures and support bone health at any age. Yoga also enhances balance\, posture\, and coordination—key factors in reducing the risk of falls.\nThis ongoing monthly class focuses on Dr. Fishman’s 12 poses from Series I\, gradually introducing additional bone-strengthening poses from his Series II and III over time. These are integrated within a traditional Integral Yoga structure of warm-ups\, asanas\, guided relaxation\, pranayama\, and brief meditation. The approach is gentle\, steady\, and mindful—supporting bone health\, posture\, balance\, and coordination for people of all ages.\nDepending on class interest and familiarity\, each session may begin with brief discussions on general bone-building fundamentals—such as how bones are formed\, how they change with age\, and how movement and lifestyle can help maintain bone strength—before transitioning into guided yoga practice. Whether you are joining for the first time or returning to refine and deepen your understanding\, you’ll benefit from ongoing\nparticipation.\nAll levels are welcome. Standing\, chair-based\, and wall-supported variations will be offered to make the practice safe and accessible.\nRecommended props (please have them nearby before class begins to ensure a safe and comfortable practice): Yoga mat\, chair (without arms)\, strap\, block\, wall access\, and a thick towel or blanket.\nImportant note: This class is educational and experiential in nature. If you have any\nmedical conditions—including fractures\, spinal issues\, or joint replacements (especially hips or knees)—please consult your healthcare provider before participating. The class offers safe modifications but is not a substitute for medical advice.\n\nSaroja Subrahmanyan\, E-RYT 500\, has studied and practiced yoga for several decades. Her early yoga studies were in India followed by extensive teacher training in the Integral Yoga tradition since 1994 (Basic\, Intermediate\, Stress Management\, Accessible Yoga Teacher Training\, Laughing Yoga\, Raja Yoga\, Meditation). She also received training in other areas such as Therapeutic yoga\, Laughter Yoga in the Madan Kataria style\, Ayurveda\, Reiki\, iRest® Level 1 and a 20- hour teacher training course on Yoga vs. Osteoporosis offered by Dr. Loren Fishman in February 2024. She has taught yoga and stress management courses in a variety of settings and for varied audiences (colleges\, gyms\, offices\, ashram\, yoga studios and private classes) in the US\, Singapore\, and India. For the past two decades\, she has taught a popular yoga philosophy and practice course at Saint Mary’s College of California\, where is also a tenured professor in the business school. She loves how yoga practices offer guidance for physical\, mental\, and spiritual health and can be practiced by anyone.

SUMMARY:Satsang: Book Event—Mom's in There
DESCRIPTION:Online & In-person\n$5-$20 | Enroll for free\, use promo code FREE \nBook now/OnlinePlease register in advance; a Zoom link will be emailed 1 hour before the session\, or join Zoom directly via your Momence dashboard. \nBook now/In-PersonWe appreciate advance registration. \nJoin Kirana Stover—Integral Yoga trainer and director of the Integral Yoga Center in Barcelona\, Spain—as she celebrates the publication of her book Mom’s in There with all of you. Through sharing the story of her mother’s passing\, Kirana invites others to open up and share their own experiences of loss.\nWhen she learns of her mother’s terminal diagnosis\, the author returns to the city of her birth. Mother and daughter find\, re-find\, and lose each other in a tender\, poetic portrayal of the end of a life.\nMom’s in There is a gentle shift in perception. It invites readers to engage with the creative energy that being present can awaken. For anyone caring for someone who is dying\, or grieving the loss of a loved one\, this book serves as a powerful reminder to be here\, now.\n“This simple\, almost childlike book\, is a doorway to wonder! Without commentary or interpretation\, the author records her mother’s words and the scenes through her window during the last months of her life. Without the sense of the author as intermediary\, I felt that I was personally there and I joined her mother as she made the journey from anxiety to wonder\, and from prose to poetry. This sweet story soothed my own fears of dying\, and brought glimpses of the Great Life beyond.”\n~ Swami Divyananda Ma\, Integral Yoga.\nEveryone is welcome to stay for tea and light snacks afterwards.\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.\nThis donation-based program will not be recorded. \n\nOriginally from Richmond\, Virginia\, Kirana was first introduced to Integral Yoga in 1982. In 1987 Kirana lived on 22nd and Guerrero in San Francisco and did karma yoga at the Institute in exchange for Hatha yoga classes. In 1993 she became a certified Hatha yoga teacher and since 2001 has been the director of the Integral Yoga Center in Barcelona\, Spain. In 2023 Kirana returned to Virginia to be with her mom who was in hospice care. Mom’s in There is imbued with the essence of the Integral Yoga teaching “Truth is One\, Paths are Many.” Her time with her mother was punctuated by a trip to Yogaville; she also spent a week there after her mother “transitioned.” This helped her integrate and understand both her time with her mom and her own spiritual practice at a deeper level.
