SANSKRIT FOR YOGA PRACTITIONERS, PART II: Important Terminology in the Yogasutras with Kate & Nandini

Saturday, February 21, 2:00 - 5:00pm • $35

Learn the words and discuss the meanings of important Yoga Sutras, and the terminology of concepts presented in the text. The ashtangas, abhyasam and vairagyam, the klesas, vrttis, antarayas, yamas and niyamas, and a brief look at the sutras relating to techniques of meditation.

This lecture based workshop will help you become comfortable with the terminology so that we can use the sanskrit words with understanding rather than approximate English substitution in a yoga class. This is a required course for the shala's Advanced Studies Program. Everyone who wants to understand the concepts of the Sutras is welcome, and Teachers are encouraged to attend!

Yogis Seeking Inspired Economy

Our changing economy is presenting us with so many opportunities to re-value what matters and how to put that first.

In the spirit of change, possibilities, and inspiration, I want to invite you all to come to a community gathering...

What?

My friend Perry will give a brief presentation about his inspiring dream for the transformation of our economy.  Perry is a very successful businessman who recently left Intel to dedicate his career to the realization of a more sustainable beneficial economy in the U.S.   Check out his website http://perrygruber.com  Go to his blog, then click on New Economy For a New America to learn more about this humanitarian economic system.

Why?

As I understand it, Perry is starting a grass roots movement to help a new economic model come to life.

What does that mean?  He wants to tell people about this new model, and he wants them to tell other people.  The model is completely unlike anything I've ever heard of before.  But I think its basis is inspiring enough that I'm hosting a presentation in the hopes that others may be, in some way, inspired and uplifted by these ideas as well.

I believe that this economic model is unique in its principles and practical theories of how to value goods, maintain distribution of power, and fertilize the best in human nature.  I left my first meeting with Perry with my imagination spreading in every direction, fed by the pictures he painted.  I don't know how this model will grow, but I have experienced its power to energize and awake possibilities.

Please come, and consider these possibilities with us.  Bring your community!
