We appreciate advance registration.

Join us for this heartfelt and inspiring session, where two senior and widely respected Integral Yoga swamis, Swamis Ramananda and Asokananda, will reflect on the teachings and practices that have sustained them over the years. They will also share what continues to inspire and renew their dedication to the path today.
The spiritual journey is filled with challenges, and progress can often feel slow or uncertain. Along the way, we benefit deeply from the support of fellow travelers, those who have walked this path before us, who generously share their experience, and who care enough to walk beside us.
Please bring your heartfelt questions. At least half of the session will be dedicated to Q&A. All are welcome.

This workshop will be recorded and available to enrolled students for 2 weeks.

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.

Swami Asokananda, 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, since he has absorbed the wisdom of his guru, Sri Swami Satchidananda, since the age of 19. While he enjoys sharing the practical wisdom of the Yogic philosophy (especially that of the great Indian scripture the Bhagavad Gita), he also loves his practice of Hatha Yoga and is one of our primary instructors for Intermediate and Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training. In the past, he has served as the president of Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville® and Integral Yoga® International; he is currently the President of the New York Integral Yoga Institute.

Please join us for the final celebration of Vijayadaśamī.
After nine days of Navaratri celebrating the three goddesses Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati, we come together to honor the Divine Mother and her victory over evil. This is a time to reflect on our own spiritual journeys, acknowledging both the challenges we’ve faced and the victories we’ve achieved.
This auspicious occasion includes the blessing of the tools we use throughout the year, as well as our living spaces. Following our group discussion, we’ll celebrate with chanting, a traditional Indian worship service (puja), and a home blessing.

To participate in the home blessing online, you may prepare one or more of the following items: a candle, incense or sage, a small bowl of clean water, flowers, or a bell. Please ensure your home is clean and ready to receive a blessing, along with any objects you wish to bless.
Join us for this experiential workshop to honor and bless our personal spaces. No experience necessary.
