We have all been adapting and adjusting in many ways during this pandemic and Sri Swami Sivananda considered these principles as key elements of a spiritual life. Join Rishi and Ramananda to discuss how they can be understood as spiritual practices that involve maintaining our peace, accepting what we cannot change and aligning our day to day choices with a Higher Will.

 

Swami Ramananda is the Executive Director of Integral Yoga Institute in San Francisco and a greatly respected senior teacher in the Integral Yoga tradition, who has been practicing Yoga for over 40 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 trains Yoga teachers to bring Yoga into corporate, hospital and medical settings and has taught mind/body wellness programs in many locations. He is a founding board member of the Yoga Alliance, a national registry that supports and promotes yoga teachers as professionals. His warmth, wisdom and sense of humor have endeared him to many.

Rev. Rishi Schwieg first met Sri Swami Satchidananda in 1970. Sri Swami Satchidananda’s thought, action and presence has been a guiding principal in Rishi’s life ever since then. Rishi says, “It is in serving that we learn to live, it is in giving that we receive the greatest gift. Let us sit together and talk about Yoga. As we discard illusions of who we are, we become a fuller version of our true selves. A small step furthers.”

Satsang: Cleaning your Closets

Please register in advance, a Zoom link will be provided via a confirmation email.

Stuffed at the back of our closets is the evidence of poor choices, unconscious or rushed moments and procrastination … and cleaning closets is usually the last item at the very bottom of your work list. If we could see clearly into the mind, we would find the same heap of rubble tucked away, halfway out of conscious awareness.
Astonishingly, as we clean and put our material closets in order, the mental closets come into view and call for the same attentions. This is the practice of the niyama Saucha, a powerful tool on the path to Realization.

Immunity and Community

Our physical well being is rooted in the mind — as directly as water emerges from ice — and managing the mind is a key factor in managing our health. Now that we are faced with monumental stresses, we need monumental support! In this workshop, we will look at how we can help each other manage our minds through community connections.
