Well, here is the 5th and final video of this series. This one is of a little different genre – it is another way of looking at what we do (though we never play this type of music in class!) – we hope you like it.
Once again our sincere gratitude to all who helped in this project. We see this 5-part series not as an endpoint but rather as platform from which to go further and deeper.
Looking forward to sharing more in the future with you.
Namaskar and welcome to one of our gentle yoga classes. Basically, any class on our schedulenot named as Strength & Fitness or Absolutely Abs comes within the domain of “gentle yoga”. These classes are for everyone. Do join us – look forward to having you there!
This is the second video of our 5-part informational series on Renaissance Yoga. It is possible that we will make more testimonial videos in the future. This piece stands as our initial one.
Those who have taken our classes are most welcome (and encouraged) to offer further thoughts on their experiences below. And of course, new people are free to comment as well.
Our deepest gratitude to those who participated in this video and so candidly shared their reflections.
Here is the our first-ever Renaissance Yoga video!!
Many thanks to all who helped make this possible. This is the first of 5 informational videos that will be released onto our site in the coming days. We have tried to capture a range of moods and expressions in this series.
The five videos are: 1) Introduction to Renaissance Yoga, 2) Testimonials I, 3) Yoga for Strength & Fitness, 4) Gentle Yoga, 5) Music Strength Video.
We plan to post the next video, Testimonials I, on Thursday, May 6.
After these 5 videos are presented, we plan to continue using video in a more regular manner as a way of sharing the ideas of yoga with all of you.
Thanks so much for being there with us on this journey…
Namaskar,
Satyam
p.s. Of course we want to hear your thoughts on this first video. Please do share…
Here is an unscripted podcast focusing on yoga for back care for you to follow at home. This is a gentle sequence that anyone can do. All that is needed is a yoga mat and a yoga block.
This podcast was made in concert with a yoga for back care seminar I led at Anne Arundel Community College on Nov 19, 2009.
Folders containing handouts and a cd of this podcast are available for $5.00.
I hope this to be the first of many podcasts for your home practice library.
Your suggestions and comments are highly valued. Please do share any and all feedback. Thank you.
The Bhagavad Giita and the greater era of the Mahabharata period offer wonderful stories for humanity. These parables are timeless.
In this particular story, the Great Krishna (Krsna) arrives at Vidura’s house unannounced. Listen to see what transpires.
The teaching from this story is as true today as it was back then: 3,500 years ago.
More stories from this ancient time will be recorded in future podcasts. If you have a favorite, please let us know and we will try and accomodate your request.
This podcast – the 4th in this ongoing series – describes, in brief, the life of the Buddha as well as his foundational teaching of the eight-fold path. Learn about Buddha’s brith and early years, why he embarked on a life of renunciation, where he achieved enlightenment, as well as his great gift of madhyama ma’rga, or the middle path.
Investigate each of the limbs of his eight-fold approach: samyak dharshan (right philosophy), samyak samkalpa (right determination), samyak va’k (right expresssion), sayak ajiiva (right occupation), samyak vya’ya’m (right exercise), samyak karmanta (right finishing), samyak smrti (right memory), and samyak sama’dhi (right ideation).
I hope you find this podcast both interesting and worthwhile. Your comments are of course most welcome. Duration: 11min 43sec
This podcast talks about the important imagery and spiritual science related with the lotus flower. Learn about the symbolism of the lotus, Sanskrit terms, and the inner essence of the phrase thousand petaled lotus chakra.
This first podcast is an informal, non-scripted talk on the history of yoga. In a short 7 minute clip, follow the history of yoga from the first vedic chants given 15,000 years ago through the great teachings of Sada Shiva and Sri Krsna up to the codification of yoga into astaunga yoga (8 limbs of yoga) by Maharishi Patanjali.
Over the millenia and centuries the Himalayas (literally meaning, "Land of the Ice & Cold") have been home to numerous yogic sages.
