SUMMARY:Satsang: Taking Refuge from the Storms of Life
DESCRIPTION:Online & In-Person | By donation $0\, $5\, $10\, $15 \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. https://integralyogasf.org/attending-in-person \nAs hard as we may try to manage our lives with care and skill\, we all inevitably encounter times when life is especially challenging\, overwhelming\, or unbearable. Our normal coping skills may not be enough and when we are anxious\, grieving or under pressure\, we may make poor choices that make things worse.\nIn this Satsang\, Asokananda and Ramananda will present the distilled wisdom of all the Yoga teachings as practical principles that lead to skillful action and wise choices. We will explore how to take refuge in the unchanging source of wisdom within us and how each of us can learn to access that presence in a unique way.\nSatsang\, 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.\nSwami Ramananda is the Executive Director of the Integral Yoga Institute in San Francisco 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. He 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. His warmth\, wisdom and sense of humor have endeared him to many. \nSwami Asokananda\, E-RYT 500\, a monk since 1973\, is one of Integral Yoga’s foremost teachers—known for his warmth\, intelligence\, and good humor. His teaching comes out of his own practice and experience\, having absorbed the wisdom of his Guru\, Sri Swami Satchidananda.\nWhile he enjoys sharing the practical wisdom of yogic philosophy (especially the great Indian scripture\, the Bhagavad Gita)\, he also loves his practice of Hatha Yoga. He is one of Yogaville’s primary instructors for intermediate and advanced Hatha Yoga teacher trainings.\nHe presently serves as president at the Integral Yoga Institute in New York City. Before this position\, he served as the President of Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville and Integral Yoga International.
