Hari Om Dear Yoga Friends!

I am very glad to be back sending you this newsletter after a lapse for various reasons.

In this newsletter, we want to tell you about the excellent upcoming courses and programs so that you can mark your calendars and attend, or forward this newsletter to your friends, students, groups and whoever might be interested.

Please see below for the posters which have all the details about the following programs ;

– The ever popular Yoga Nidra Foundation Course, the Yoga Nidra as Therapy Course, both in August,

– the Advanced Yoga Nidra Course in November online and in the ashram,

– along with the Yoga Nidra Teachers Training Course  (Part 1 online & in Ashram in August and Part 2 in the ashram in November). This will be a chance to fine tune your yogic awareness and go deeper into experiencing and sharing, “serve, love, give ” through learning and teaching. We invite volunteers experienced in Satyananda Bihar Yoga to assist for both Teacher Training Courses.

All our Yoga Nidra Courses have an early bird rate. If you book before the 21st July, you will get a 5% discount !! 

In September & October I’m delighted to be giving my (and your) favourite programs centred around Yoga Nidra including other wonderful practices in France & Germany. Below is a section with the informations and links. I hope to meet old friends and make new ones on this journey. Do connect through the poster links or contact me directly if you’re interested and do share with others who can benefit.

New Year Celebration will of course be the deeply spiritual practice and experience of group chanting of Hanuman Chalisa 108 times to totally push out the useless energies and fill ourselves with uplifting energy for the New Year. If you can’t come personally, do attend online for almost the same benefits.

In January 2025 we are offering Chakra Shuddhi, Chakra Sadhana, Chakra Nada Yoga (Auditory and vibrational experience) & Chakra Tratak (visual experience).

February 2025 will be going deeper into Meditations from the Tantras including this time Attitudinal Yoga.

This October we plan to have another big anti rabies vaccination and neutering camp for street and owner dogs & cats. We plan to continue again in May 2025. We need volunteers and donations for these. IF you are a local person with animals, book early and help find & befriend animals in need.

The ashram is peacefully empty at the moment but the vibrations of mantras echo through the rooms competing with the pounding monsoon rains. You can join us online for Mantra Chanting and short meditation every day at 5.45-6.45am, 1-1.10pm, and 8-9pm Indian time. This will give you the peace of mind and energy of the ashram, Shankar Prasad Foundation, near Gokarna, Karnataka, India.

We plan to send you another Newsletter very soon in which we will include more photos and details of the activities of the last few months.

Hope to see you soon! 

Love and Oms from Swami Yogaratna
