Notes from Swami Yogaratna, upcoming courses and programs to mark in your calendar, and news from the ashram near Gokarna.
Hari Om
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 and the Yoga Nidra as Therapy Course, both in August
- The Advanced Yoga Nidra Course in November, online and in the ashram
- The Yoga Nidra Teachers Training Course (Part 1 online & in ashram in August, Part 2 in the ashram in November), 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 21 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 information 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.
Recent programs have included Chakra Shuddhi, Chakra Sadhana, Chakra Nada Yoga (auditory and vibrational experience) & Chakra Tratak (visual experience).
Coming programs go deeper into Meditations from the Tantras, including Attitudinal Yoga.
Each year we hold a big anti-rabies vaccination and neutering camp for street and owner dogs & cats. 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 5.45–6.45 am, 1–1.10 pm, and 8–9 pm 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
