Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu 2017

June 21^st is International Yoga Day. It is fitting to commemorate millions of yogis who paved the way; developed and refined this great science and philosophy of yoga. To promote the benefits of yoga, Twin Heart is excited to organize the morning yoga practice this year too- on June 4^th, 11^th, 18^th and 25^th. What an experience to practice with you all in the bright mornings of June (real Sun salutations!) in the vast expanse of Cambridge Chase Park in Aurora! (1359 Haversham Dr., Aurora, IL). These are all inclusive sessions; no prior yoga experience is needed. Please bring your own yoga mat.

The mind, body and spirit cleansing through grace, grounding, balance, humility, strength, ahimsa (non-violence), swadhyaya (self- teaching), mindfulness and pranayama is going to be the theme of Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavanthu (LSSB) 2017. LSSB is an opportunity for you to interact and practice with many fine yogis in the area who are committed to yoga. Please feel free to bring your children too. This time we have Indre Jasinskaite, an expert in working and practicing yoga with children to guide them in the endless practice of yoga.

The schedule:

Day 1: Cleansing through yoga. 7-8 AM on June 04, 2017

We will practice a detox flow sequence, poses and cleansing pranayama to prepare for days 2, 3 and 4. We will end the practice with meditation.

Day 2: Warrior in you! 7-8 AM on June 11, 2017

A smooth flow incorporating all warrior poses depicting the grace we seek, stability we need, balance we foster, humility we nurture and the ensuing exaltation in yoga practice (and life). We will end the practice with Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) through relaxation.

Day 3: Yoga for strength. 7-8 AM on June 18, 2017

Beyond the physical strength enshrined in yoga, strength also means our ability to face (and fight) extraneous influences that may affect us. I believe, the Patanjali definition of yoga (“Prevent the deviation of mind”) could be extrapolated to body and spirit.

Day 4: Satsung: 5-7 PM on June 25, 2017. Theme: Food as Medicine

After a brief yoga practice, we will explore the benefits of various preparations to heal our body. It is an occasion to interact with a group of committed people who believe in the benefits of yoga and practice it with dedication; a group whose thoughts and actions sync to open the discussion on benefits of yoga. It's a "crowd-sourcing" in yoga. Hope you will be able to join these wonderful yogis and yoginis.

Thy,

Jay
