Devamrita SwamiThe basic problem in our search for happiness is that our sources of pleasure are limited. Mantra provides means by which we can expand our pleasure beyond our present limitations.

ROAR SOUND is a Mantra Meditation Workshop designed to get you in touch with a pleasure principle that operates beyond the bounds of time and space and emanates from the very innermost part of our being.

Sacred chants of the east sung to enchanting melodies to soothe your heart and soul and lift you to another dimension beyond time and space. Empower yourself with ultimate tools for self development and stress management.

A Supremely powerful show to leave you fearless, insights from an urban mystic monk, beats, mantras, jammin' and vegetarian Xtreme. Bring an instrument, open mind and empty stomach for a night you'll never forget. Be there!

SEVA EARTH DAY

Seva

Seva is the spiritual practice of selfless service. In an attitude of gratitude for all the abundance we have in our lives, it is always good to remember that there are others who have more need than we do. With awareness and compassion, we can practice seva or service, by reaching out to them with our time, our gifts, our financial support and even our practice.

The ways to achieve seva are endless. You can live your seva in an internal way by participating in a restorative class instead of your usual vigorous vinyasa or ashtanga practice, or by participating in the Yoga in Motion fundraiser for Breast Cancer or carrying a Kleen Kanteen rather than drinking bottled water. You can reach out to individuals and to a world with needs in ways that we can all strive to meet.

Let us serve ourselves, each other and the planet and create new abundance.

Yoga "OM" Work

We all work so diligently on our mats to achieve balance, breathe deeper and calm our minds. I know that we are doing this on a daily basis off the mat as well. The purpose of Yoga "Om" Work is to add some interesting little awareness into our practice all month long!

This month your "Om" Work is to use your non-dominant hand to open the car door, apartment or house door, or any other door that you need to open! Be conscious of how you feel when you are doing this exercise and how your awareness changes.
