Effort & Grace: A taste of Classical Kundalini Yoga


    with Isabelle Sakshi Addison
    Saturday, August 17 | 8:00-9:30 am

     

    BY DONATION! Join Isabelle Sakshi Addison for an uplifting, energizing, and cleansing experience of Classical Kundalini Yoga at Prana Yoga Studio.

     

    Classical Kundalini Yoga, an approach to practice synthesized by Yogrishi Vishvketu and based on the traditional teachings of the Himalayan Nath Yogi lineage, harmonizes and recharges the energy body through the balanced application of breath (pranayama), sound (mantra), movement (dynamic asana) and meditation (dhyana). The practice invites a deep release of subconscious patterns and holdings, clearing space for prana (vital life force) to flood your system. It is a beautiful opportunity to meet parts of yourself often overlooked in day to day life.
 
The class is open to yoga students of all levels – whether you are new to or experienced with this powerful approach – as each dynamic asana can be modified. Some experience in Hatha Yoga is recommended. 
If possible, wear light coloured clothes made of natural fabrics that allow you to move freely.

     

     

    All donations will be sent to Yogrishi’s charity Helping Hands for India, supporting a school for underprivileged children in rural north India, Sansar Gyaan Pathshala.

     

    A little about Sansar Gyaan Pathshala School:

    Sansar Gyaan Pathshala, which means ‘World Knowledge Lessons’ is the name of our school. The school was the creative idea of Yogrishi Vishvketu to provide education in a rural area of Northern India, where many children, especially girls, would not otherwise go to school. With support from the Akhanda Yoga family, Guru Ji’s dream of building the school became a reality.

    The organization is funded by generous donations from ashram guests, Akhanda students and YTT graduates. At present, we have a fully operational school, accommodating up to 300 children. Our school is non-sectarian and multi-faith, welcoming all children with diverse backgrounds. It is located near the village of Pritamgarh, about 2 hours from Rishikesh in northern India. Our families live in rural villages within a 6 km radius. Most students walk up to 3 km each day to get to school. Our students come mainly from farming families.

    The children receive a quality of education above that of standard state schools. Our goal for the future is to create a sustainable community and contribute to making a positive change in the world.
