DESCRIPTION:Online & In-Person | $45 for both \nEnroll/Online Please register in advance\, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email. \nEnroll/In-person Please review our In-person Safety Guidelines. \nThere is a significant benefit to understanding our Yoga practice in the context of its original intention—stilling the mind to experience the spiritual consciousness that is our essential nature. Otherwise\, our approach to practicing Yoga will be determined by our unconscious beliefs and habitual thought patterns\, which are strongly influenced by the prevailing messages of our culture and become a primary source of suffering.\nCome prepared to practice asana\, pranayama and meditation.\nIn part 1 of this workshop on August 9th\, we will tune into the natural intelligence of the body and practice moving free of our conditioning by guiding our attention in various ways to cultivate a neutral\, non-reactive awareness\, and an open heart.\nIn part 2 of this workshop on August 16th\, we will explore the pathways for the flow of prana (subtle energy) and how that awareness supports us to bring the body\, breath and mind into harmony and awaken us to the spiritual consciousness at the core of being.\nOver time\, a regular practice of this kind will gradually restructure even the subconscious mind so that we are no longer compelled by old beliefs and fears\, and approach life with a sense of deep belonging\, inner contentment and wonder.\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.
