By prostrating, What is Sivananda yoga we indicate that our Higher Self is given priority and the ego comes second place. A Sivananda Yoga 12 Basic Postures workshop and a Gentle Yoga workshop were given. By mid September we had new Yoga 1 started plus, a workshop taught by Saraswati. Atmaram ran a workshop on prana, pranayama and mind control, with 21 students attending. Of course, you will enjoy good health and freedom from disease, but of what use is health and strength, if the mind within is rotting, and the canker of evil is eating into your very vitals? With skilful discrimination to attach to the good and the beautiful and detach from habitual suffering, morality becomes a path to freedom rather than imposed external authority. But, he has got Karma-Svatantrata or freedom to do good or evil. Swamini Atmaprakashananda Saraswati elevated the energy daily through the in-depth analysis of the Taittiriya Upanishad, with commentary by Adi Shankaracharya.

There are 1-2 daily in-person yoga classes in the Centre with a meditation session offered on Sunday evenings. Om Namah Sivaya. In September we started a new series of in-person gentle yoga classes and we finished a meditation course. We contacted the new Toronto teachers who just finished TTC at the Yoga Camp and arranged for some of them to assist classes and join the Toronto Centre. Saraswati, Mookambika and Nalini spent a weekend in nature, on a nearby farm owned by one of our teachers while Gopala managed the Centre. We had an open house one Saturday with various trial classes. Nalini started teaching open classes and is assisting with the Beginner courses, making nice progress in her English skills as well. Some new TTC students started assisting and were doing very well. The holiday yoga sale started on December 9 and certainly increased the yoga pass sales. As July continued, we opened a new Yoga 1 course with 9 students, and a new meditation course with 10 students. On the other hand, when the mind is in a state of meditation it is steady like a flame that is protected from the wind. We washed the blankets, the covers and the mats of the Asana Lounge and Meditation room.

He is credited as the asana pioneer within Sivananda Yoga. Sunday Satsang was on the topic of the life of Swami Sivananda. Both Satsangs this week were fantastic- Manu Dawson led Wednesday’s Satsang and with his vast knowledge of nutrition and herbology, he spoke about the topic of staying strong as a vegetarian- his Satsangs are always a hit with everyone and he never fails to answer any question! I have a question regarding Sivananda Yoga and its students. Even great teachers can’t do anything for us when we have this ego. However, about 10 or so paid staff have been coming in each day to work in the agricultural area to clear the ground and plant banana ‘saplings’. Thursday morning started with Ganesha Homa performed by Sankaranji, and later that day Denis Chernin arrived to lead the special weekend program, Yoga of Devotion: Kirtan and Mantra Chanting, which was enthusiastically received. We celebrated the blessed occasion of the birthday of Swami Sivananda with a beautiful Puja, a lot of chanting, Prasads and inspiring teachings.

The San Francisco Sivananda Centre is permanently closed. In September, the Centre remains online and yet to decide when to open for all in person classes. We had quite a few new students join open classes. We offered a Restorative Yoga workshop, by which the students enjoyed a deep relaxation. We continued the group study on the Raja Yoga Sutras of Patanjali online. By mid September two courses started, Patanjali and Ayurveda, and Yoga 2 and Advanced asana courses ended. Almost everyone registered for the upcoming courses and classes. We still taught all the classes online to students from all over Italy. She was attended by Jagadamba, Bhavana and Swami Vairagyananda for classes. At the beginning of September, in celebration of the 133rd birthday anniversary of Master Swami Sivananda, we joined for Puja performed as a part of the program of the Online TTC at the Dalat Ashram. We participated in the continuation of the online program with Marilyn Rossner which was again a mind-broadening and elevating experience.
