Satsang on November 25th

ૐDear Yogis,

In the Sivananda Yoga centres worldwide, meditation is an integral part of the Yoga practise. Meditation forms part of an activity called Satsang. It involves silent meditation, chanting of mantras and a short talk on yoga philosophy. Ideally, the Satsang is preceded by a Yoga class.

Our next Satsang will be on Sunday, November 25th. The schedule:

16h Yoga class
18h Satsang (Meditation, chanting, Yoga philosophy)

I hope that many of you will be able to come and I look forward to sharing Satsang with you in November!

Om Shanti,
Omkari

First Sunday Sadhana

OM Namah Sivaya 

ૐ Dear Yogis, 

over the last year you have gradually grown in your individual yoga practise. Our focus has been on asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises), which can have deep physical and mental effects. Ultimately, the yoga practice leads not only to a healthy body but also to a healthy mind: it helps us to control and balance our thoughts and feelings. Building upon that progress, I would like to give you the opportunity to deepen your practise even further by offering guided meditation. The meditation practise is a natural continuation of the practise of asanas and pranayama. It involves exercises to develop concentration and can help us to calm down the agitated mind. 

In the Sivananda Yoga centres worldwide we practise meditation as part of an activity called “Satsang”. It involves a guided meditation, chanting of mantras and a short talk on yoga philosophy. I would like such an activity to take place at Yoga Sadhana Delft roughly once a month and hope that many of you will come to experience for yourself the power of satsang 🙂 

Ideally, the Satsang is preceded by a yoga class. Therefore, I propose the following: 

First Sunday Sadhana on 16.09.2018:
16:00 Yoga class
18:00 Satsang

I look forward to taking this next step together with all of you 🙂

ૐ Dear Yogis,

Enjoy the wonderful flowery spring season 🙂
