Gandhi Honored on his 139th Birthday Print E-mail
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi otherwise known as the Mahatma (or Great Soul) was one of the most influential yogis of the twentieth century. His acts of civil disobedience and strong belief in Ahimsa (nonviolence) created a legacy of peace and inspiration throughout the world. Today, sixty years after his death his message of employing peace to instigate great change continues to resonate strongly in the world. On the 2nd of October, the 139th anniversary of Gandhi’s birth was celebrated, and in India it included even the youngest peacemakers.

Yoga Teacher Training Lessons: Dispassion Print E-mail
Dispassion. It's a word we'd been hearing for days now, and, at the slightest mention, made some of us cringe. For many, the word presented one of the few gripes about Yogic philosophy, implying a nonchalant attitude that leads to a passionless life and loveless friendships. How could the Yoga way, so intriguing for its sense of compassion, now neglect love and passion on its way to "higher realms"? Dispassion is defined as "the state or quality of being unemotional or emotionally uninvolved." No -- something about it didn't stick. I had, myself, some vague notion of understanding; having gone through a radical teenage phase in which I was prepared to eat only fruit that fell from trees, and disown my lovely family for buying Crest instead of the cruelty-free, eco-alternative. In this instance, dispassion could have been useful, creating space to care less for extreme values and accept one's own and other's shortcomings. At the time, this was my notion of dispassion: a letting go of extremes to maintain balance. It wasn't until this recent Yoga Teacher Training program, I came to see how dispassion could be so much more.

Yogic Wisdom
I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion.  The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well being. Cultivating a close warm hearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.
Dalai Lama

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
