We share what is known as KIRTAN\, a call and response of sacred sounds and mantras. It is the relationship to these mantras that illuminates our heart and awakens our consciousness. It is not important that you can sing or that you understand the words. KIRTAN is an experience. It is a practice to release you out of the thinking mind and drop you gently into the heart. MAN means ‘mind ‘and TRA means ‘instrument’. So it is through these sacred sounds we are able to conduct the instrument of the mind.\nTogether we create this sacred union with healing intentions for the whole of the world.\nAstrud Castillo has been teaching yoga since 2001 and sharing Kirtan internationally for the last 10 years.She trained in NYC at Laughing Lotus\, currently known as Body and soul Yoga collective and is a senior teacher and teacher trainer. She has studied the basics of yoga therapeutics and Vedic chanting with T.K.V. Desikachar in India. Her teaching has been inspired by her mentor and friend Mark Whitwell over the last 20 years. Astrud’s classes are warm\, welcoming and all inclusive. Her love and relationship to Bhakti Yoga\, the yoga of devotion\, is always illuminated in her teaching. There is always chanting in Astrud’s classes\, awareness around the breath and mindful movement. Astrud leads annual pilgrimages to India\, teaches Bhakti yoga with teachers in training and currently lives at the IYI in SF. Her slow flow class weaves together poses in a creative and mindful way using the breath as the bridge to deepen and explore the balance between effort and surrender and focus the mind.

SUMMARY:Satsang: Recovering Our Natural Wisdom & Joy
DESCRIPTION:Online | Sliding scale $5-15. To enroll for free use discount code FREE. \nBook now/OnlinePlease register in advance\, a Zoom link will be provided via email. \nWe’ve all had moments in which we experienced great joy and the wisdom that comes from a clear and insightful mind. But so often our vision is clouded by the prevailing messages of our culture that condition us to look outward for happiness and for solutions to our struggles. Join us for this Satsang in which Nalanie and Ramananda will share how the practices and teachings of Yoga can quiet the worldly voices in the mind\, revealing the natural source of wisdom and joy that is our true nature.\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.\nNalanie Chellaram\, C-IAYT\, BSYth\, has been surrounded by spirituality for her whole life. She was raised by Hindu parents\, educated at a Catholic school and studied philosophy in college. Nalanie began practicing the teaching of her Guru\, Sri Swami Satchidananda in 1986 and continued to study the science of Yoga. She has been accredited by the Council of Teachers of the Satchidananda Ashram in Virginia\, USA to teach Asanas\, Pranayama and Meditation. She is also an accredited Teacher Trainer for Integral Yoga and a therapist under the British School of Yoga. She is the Chairwoman of the Integral Yoga Center in Gibraltar where she runs regular weekly satsangs\, teacher training and counseling sessions. This Center is a registered Charity serving the community. Nalanie\, who now lives in Spain\, frequently lectures on the Science of Yoga\, in Portugal\, Spain\, Germany\, the United Kingdom\, the USA and the Far East. She is the first of a new generation of spiritual teachers. Her particular upbringing and education has given her a special insight into both Hinduism and Christianity\, inspired by her Beloved Guru. \nSwami Ramananda\, C-IAYT\, E-RYT 500\, is the Executive Director of the Integral Yoga Institute in San Francisco\, C-IAYT\, and a greatly respected senior teacher in the Integral Yoga tradition\, who has been practicing Yoga for over 45 years. Ramananda offers practical methods of integrating the timeless teachings and practices of Yoga into daily life\, and transforming the painful aspects of human experience into steps toward realizing one’s full potential.\nHe leads beginner\, intermediate and advanced level Yoga teacher training programs in San Francisco\, and offers a variety of programs in many locations in the U.S.\, Europe and South America. Ramananda co-developed the Stress Management Teacher Training program with Swami Vidyananda\, has trained many teachers to bring Yoga into corporate\, hospital and medical settings\, and has taught mind/body wellness programs in many locations. He is a certified Yoga therapist and founding board member of the Yoga Alliance\, a national registry that supports and promotes yoga teachers as professionals. He is a co-founder of The Spiritual Action Initiative (SAI) which brings together individuals committed to working for social justice for all beings and for the care and healing of our natural world.
