SUMMARY:Cultivating 4 Keys to Peace\, 7-day Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Online | $47 Early bird\, use promo code KEY\, exp. 4/21 | $54 Regular \n7 consecutive mornings:  May 5 – 11 \, 7:15 – 8:00 am PT \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. \nJoin Diana Meltsner a meditation teacher and teacher trainer online for 7 morning meditations and brief talks. They will focus on 4 keys from Yoga Sutras of Patanjali\, Book 1 Sutra 33; friendliness\, compassion\, delight and tranquility. These keys cultivated with meditation in the mind lead to developing attitudes towards oneself\, others and our daily life experience. We develop skill to regulate our emotional state. We can acquire the ability to stay present regardless of what is happening within us and around us. When cultivated\, this helpful and practical mindfulness skill allows the mind to remain undisturbed and become a useful tool and a friend to us.\nWith these practices Yoga and Buddhism meet. In Buddhism they are known as the Brahma Viharas\, The Four Immeasurables\, the practices of the heart. One learns to dwell (vihara) in these four forms of love as said by God Brahma. In the Buddhist texts and in Upanishads\, these mental attitudes are considered to create protection and are associated with strength.\nMeditation\, talk\, discussion and sharing will be included. Keeping a daily journal is recommended but not required.\nAll sessions will be recorded and shared with participants for later viewing.\nCEUs 5 hours for Yoga Alliance offered to teachers upon request.\n\nDiana Meltsner\, C-IAYT\, ERYT-500\, YACEP\, has been teaching a variety of classes and workshops since 2001 and since 2017 offers yoga therapy sessions privately and at Integral Yoga Therapy Clinic in San Francisco. She has been working in the clinical setting for Kaiser Permanente since 2005 as a yoga teacher\, yoga therapist\, and health educator and is teaching mindfulness and meditation to the medical staff.

SUMMARY:Scripture Study: Nirodha: The Journey and the Destination\, 3 of 3-part
DESCRIPTION:Online | $5-15 sliding scale | Free for active IYISF teachers \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. \nEach session offered individually. Mondays 6:00 – 7:00 pm: \n\nApril 21\nApril 28\nMay 5\n\nIn Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras\, nirodha appears right at the beginning\, defining yoga as the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind-stuff (Sutra 1.2). This state of nirodha is a profound stillness\, a remembering of our true essence as part of a greater energy. While it’s the goal of yoga\, nirodha is also the pathway to achieve this stillness. Throughout the Yoga Sutras\, each section (Pada) explores how nirodha serves as the means to attain this state of mental calmness.\nJoin Kalyani for a discussion on this foundational practice. Nirodha is more than just a concept; it’s a way of life. It’s about freeing the mind from ingrained habits and patterns\, some of which may be unhelpful or even unconscious. This process of “going down” within ourselves—like a seed burrowing into the earth—allows us to “sprout up” with renewed awareness. By understanding our own minds\, nirodha tunes us into our true inner nature.\nThe Yoga Scripture Study series is an offering in which participants learn and discuss how the teachings of Yoga apply to our daily lives. We read passages\, take time to reflect upon them\, and share with each other how these words and practices support us on the spiritual path. All are welcome to join any one or all of the sessions.\n\nKalyani Carlee Cohen Barr first found herself at the Integral Yoga Institute (IYI) in 2001 and began teaching Hatha Yoga\, Pranayama and meditation in 2005 after receiving her certification with Swami Ramananda at IYI Bacalar\, Mexico. The name Kalyani is a spiritual name given to Carlee by Swami Ramananda which signifies a state of auspiciousness\, recognizing blessings\, and bliss. Kalyani has attended numerous workshops and trainings over the years\, including Pranayama\, meditation\, Mantra\, Mudras\, Dharma\, nutrition\, Yoga Therapy for Cancer and Chronic Illness (YCAT)\, Yoga for the Special Child (IYINY)\, and Anusara Yoga. She is now certified in Raja Yoga (IYISF)\, weaving the yoga sutras into her teachings. Kalyani has led classes and small group sessions for musicians of all ages at Interplay Jazz Camp in Vermont\, has co-lead a retreat in Northern India\, has led “Yoga Day” classes for 150 students\, and has appeared on Canadian public television. She co-founded Simply Yoga in South Florida. “Yoga has many facets that contribute to a peaceful\, happy\, healthy life. Yoga has transformed my life on many levels\, and my favorite thing is sharing this gift with others.” Join Kalyani to find your breath and balance\, and enjoy the benefits of increased energy\, health\, and overall well-being.
