Upcoming Programs: April - May 2023 Sangati is our special series of practice sessions led by senior teachers from YogaVahini, with an intention to foster continued practice and study for the whole community. It is open to all. Reasonable level of good health is required to join these sessions. We are also assuming you are already a practitioner in this tradition, so it is not for beginners. Our intent is to strengthen our own personal practice that will help us deepen our awareness, clarity and conviction on this path. Senior teachers will take turns to lead the sessions for a period of time to help explore deeper dimensions and subtler elements in practice. Each series (4-6 weeks duration) will follow a particular theme offered by the teacher based on what inspires them. We are also happy to offer what the Sanga would like to explore collectively. Do write to us! In April we will explore Sūkṣma Āsana with Apoorva, a senior therapist from YogaVahini. The recordings of the session will be available for viewing for a week after the session in the YouTube Playlist – Sangati.

Dear Sanga, I hope, in all the busy-ness of your life, you have a few minutes to read this mailer. It might reveal that you have more time to pause, you are not in such a great hurry! If you do have a little time to pause, take a few deep breaths, and bring your mind to the present moment briefly, you might be able to see what a great gift this empty moment brings! When the mind is able to dip down into this emptiness, your breath can grow deeper and quieter... Like Rumi says, "There is one way of breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then, there's another way: a breath of love that takes you all the way to infinity." This is the breath of yoga that we would like all human beings to experience, more and more. Are you willing to journey with us together and support each other? Yoga Sadhana was born out of such a quest. A program that has taken many incarnations in the last 10 years since we started, remains a fresh and exciting endeavour, an offering of love that brings together beautiful people from different walks of life with a desire for change from within. A new abridged edition of this course begins this week, in association with the Heartfulness Foundation (Sri Ramachandra Mission), as part of the YogaforUnity program, starting March 15th through May end. Sriram's course on Bhagavad Gita begins this week. Take the time, settle down and immerse yourself in the precious teachings and practice that he brings to us with such generosity and grace! I have started a Pranayama course once a month, in association with Yoga Therapy Australia, focussing on enabling a regular practice based on the rich teachings from our ancient texts. Going beyond techniques and theories, learn to embrace the subtle nuances of practice that are simple and profound! In April, I am visiting Australia after a gap of 3 years, for a retreat in Trentham and a workshop in Mornington Peninsula with Marieke's Art of Living. We look forward to reconnecting with old friends and our friend within, exploring the power of the breath that can influence and transform our life. Just enjoy breathing deeply... Love, Saraswathi. Yoga Sadhana helps us become aware of the needs of our body and mind through the principles of yoga, self-awareness and mindfulness. Beginner or Practitioner, through reflection and inquiry, we will learn to explore what well-being and harmony mean to us. Every Wednesdays 6 - 7:30 AM IST Re-stream on Saturdays 6 - 7:30 PM IST Recording available on the platform.

We shall chant the Gita and study the gist. Each session includes a practice with Asanas and Pranayama focussing on ideas of the Pancamahabhutas and the Dashendriyas in Samkhyakarika.
