New Workshop: Healing the Mind
|
Hi Reader, If you’ve been teaching asana classes for a while and feel like your students are asking for something more, something deeper . . . The yoga and meditation market is moving away from high-intensity asana workouts and toward practices that focus more on somatic healing and nervous system regulation. Offering guided meditations is a powerful way to meet that demand. A great guided meditation is more than just relaxation cues and visualization prompts. There’s a science to using your voice, pacing your cues, initiating a visualization, describing sensory details of an inward journey, and giving your guided meditation scripts the kind of philosophical integrity that turns yoga theory into an embodied experience. This 90-minute live online workshop is for yoga teachers who want to:
You’ll learn:
BONUS: This workshop will be interactive as well as instructive. You’ll be guided into and out of meditative experiences that we’ll then analyze to understand how and why the script and the style of vocalization produced the desired effect. This offering is by donation. Whether you’re already offering guided meditations or just getting started, you’ll come away with a full range of knowledge and tools to lead deeply impactful meditations for your students — and to guide yourself into a deep meditative state as part of your own practice. Healing the Mind: How to Lead Guided Meditations BY DONATION Healing the Mind is registered with Yoga Alliance and offers 1.5 hours of CE credit. The workshop will be recorded — you will receive a replay email with the link to the recording shortly after the end of the live workshop.

Hoping you're well in all respects, Hari-k |

Greetings Reader, A couple of weeks back I wrote about how right reasoning depends more on true premises than on a well-constructed argument. For example, “All horses can fly, all horses are tomatoes, therefore, all tomatoes can fly” is a well-constructed argument that’s based on two obviously false premises. If it were just a matter of armchair philosophy, then it wouldn’t really matter. But falling for logical fallacies can have real-world consequences. For example, if you think alignment...
Greetings Reader, Last Sunday, I shared some examples of faulty logic that I've seen circulating through the yogaverse. I was planning on sharing some other examples today, but I'm going to put that off until next week. This week, I have something else on my mind. I was one of many protestors standing, waving, chanting, and drumming out in front of the White House this past Tuesday evening. Fortunately, it became another TACO Tuesday before the evening was over. Of course, I was relieved when...
Greetings Reader, We visited my hometown Krishna temple in NYC a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderful to be there: fantastic kirtans in the temple room, exquisite Deities on the altar, and a very nice talk about the connections between bhakti philosophy and our search for happiness. After the lecture, we sat with a few other attendees as we all enjoyed the delicious vegetarian dinner that the temple offers as part of their regular Sunday evening program. I’m sure no one really wanted to go...
