New YOG Basic Batch Starting on Thursday, May 27th

Dear Friends,

Each and every one of us is blessed with a beautiful and wonderful body whose sole purpose is to allow us to live our life to the fullest. And all of us are blessed with an ever-giving universe that provides us with a world to enjoy, and ample energy to enjoy it with. And yet, many of us find ourselves with "lack of energy", "lack of time", or "health problems". When the whole of Nature is selflessly providing us with everything that we need, why is it that we experience these inadequacies? It is simply because we have lost the connection, the "one-ness", with our self, our bodies, and our surroundings, instead blaming them for our problems.

The practice of YOG restores this connection with the source and allows us to appreciate and enjoy the many gifts of life. By restoring this connection, we automatically bring about good health, high energy, and happiness.

YOG Basic is designed to provide you with the tools to maintain this good health and energy throughout your day. In this course, we will learn Pranayama, Surya Namaskar, Yogasanas, and AUM Therapy. If you are interested in learning, then please join us on Thursday, May 27^th for a free introduction to the course. Please invite and forward this to any friends or family who would be interested in the course.

Day / Time: Every Thursday between 7 pm & 8 pm (Free Introduction - May 27th) Venue: Ektaa Center @ 2691 Richter Ave. Ste 105, Irvine CA 92606

Cost: $50 per person for all 8 sessions, or $25 per person if you are repeating the course Special instructions:

• Please bring your own Yoga Mat & a beach towel
• Please wear loose & comfortable clothes
• Please do not eat at least 2 hours before the class

Advance SSY reminder

Sorry for repeat message – the previous one went garbled.

 

Dear self,

 

Just practicing your Pranayam & meditation daily and eating Raw Foods is not enough for growing in spiritual path. This will ensure that you have enough energy to manage your daily life. For spiritual development it is most important to maintain the enthusiasm from remaining inspired.

 

Inspiration is a key to advancement in spirituality. Your connection with your GURU / spiritual teacher / guide is most important. Listening to the words of wisdom, receiving clearance on difficulties faced in your spiritual practice and sharing experiences with other seekers will keep the enthusiasm going and growing.

 

For this we meet once a month for the “Advance SSY” - follow up sessions.
You can either join us in person at my place at 105 Liberty Street, Tustin, CA 92782
OR join online though Skype (ID-ssyvishakha)
OR on WiziQ (http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/275986-advance-ssy)

 

For joining online - RSVP 3 days before the scheduled day is MUST for adding your contact.

 

Jai Gurudev!

 

Love & blessings Vishakha
