Hatha Yoga is one of many paths of yoga. It is the path most popularized in the west but, often, (not always), watered down or misunderstood by mainstream western yoga culture and practitioners. If you are a lover of yoga, or just beginning an interest, this will be an engaging and illuminating lecture on, and discussion of the practices and principals of Hatha Yoga, and what makes it different and unique from other paths, and what it shares with other paths. Even if you have learned this material previously, repetition is good, and there is always something new to glean. Contact me with questions, to register, or send payment with note to paypal or zelle using my phone or email.

In this class we will continue to focus on the main text of classical yoga philosophy - The Yoga Sutra's of Patanjali. We will focus on the portion on practice, in particular the 1st limb of the 8 limbs of Raja Yoga. Raja Yoga is the yoga of controlling the mind, to gradually but inevitably reach a state of peace by identifying with the true Self. We will very briefly review the content of the last session and then focus on the yamas, the first “limb” or step of practice which are 5 ethical principles of how to live in the world. If you have a copy of the Sutras please have it with you, but it is not necessary to benefit from the session. Email ME if you want a recommendation for a translation/commentary. All are welcome. It is not necessary to have attended previous sessions or have any prior experience. To register send $20 or what you can afford through Zelle using my cell #. Contact me if you have questions.

Monday May 4th - 7:00 - 8:30PM

What are we actually doing in yoga classes in America? What is the actual history and philosophy that is the context of this practice that is now becoming more and more an integral part of western culture. It is no longer a fad but a well respected means to physical and mental health and fitness. This is wonderful, but the consequence has been a watering down of the tradition. Most people practicing yoga don’t really have an understanding of what yoga really is, and what it’s history and philosophy is. This workshop is meant to fill in some of the blanks, and then give an open forum for any questions about the subject. You will come away with a great deal of added understanding! Register here.

Sunday April 19th - 1 PM - 6 PM- POSTPONED

This 5 hour silent retreat will give us the opportunity to encounter ourselves when we minimize distraction and the ongoing incessant noise and chatter of the world, family, technology, media, and of course the voices in our own heads. There won’t be any magic tools to force your own mind to be silent, but we will practice being non-judgmentally aware of the insanity that is the inside of most of our minds. It will be a very supported and thoughtful experience, including some movement, breathing, mindful eating in silence, journalling and meditation practice. More details and pricing and timing to come. Save the date!

Monday, July 15th, 7 - 9PM at Yoga Haven Scarsdale, NY
