Yoga Workshop May 7/8

By Yogi Andrei Ram

"Yoga Subtle-Astral Anatomy"

Exposition and practices to know and to stimulate the Five sheaths of the human Self -Koshas- and the Seven main centers of consciousness -Chakras.  Presented from the Science of Yoga perspective.

Saturday 7th, 2011. 15:30-18:30

"The Five Coverings of the Supreme Self". 

An immersion into the understanding and realization of the Five Koshas -coverings of the Self.  Lecture and practical meditation exercises plus postures with the purpose of revealing the ultimate essence of the human Self.

Sunday 8th, 2011. 15:30-18:30 

"The Seven Levels of Human Consciousness"

Learn how to realize the presence and specific location of each of the seven main energy centers -Chakras. Lecture and practical exercises to stimulate the Chakras as a vehicle to arise the consciousness.  Includes asana practice.

Andrei Ram-Om maintains the tradition of living the life of a Yogi, while living in the ordinary world.  He has been ordained by Sri Dharma Mittra to continue passing the living Yoga practices and to share them with others worldwide.  From an early age Andrei had strong insights and visualizations, which made him aware of the non-physical aspects of reality and divinity.   Born in Holyoke, MA, he grew up in Colombia, South America, where he studied Marine Biology, Dance and Anthropology.

After many years of intense self-yoga practice, Andrei moved from Colombia to New York City in 2003, following an insight that was revealed as soon as he met his Guru Sri Yogi Dharma Mittra.  His devoted dedication to serve his guru as full time karma yogi led him to become the senior teacher at Dharma Yoga Center for many years, having the honor to be the head yogi at Kailashananda Temple when Sri Dharma was out of town.  During this time he collaborated one on one with Sri Dharma Mittra to develop the “Life of a Yogi” 200 hr and 500hr Teacher Training programs, offered by the “Dharma Yoga” Center.  From 2005 to 2010 he was the senior teacher at these programs.

Beginning this year, Andrei Ram has begun to offer the “Self-Realization Immersion Course” as a way of honoring his beloved guru and to share with all the treasure of the Yoga Science. This course was designed in order to integrate the yoga practices into everyone’s daily search for liberation, and to promote the coalition of all yoga styles back to its universal nature: Union, Oness, Yoga. 

Andrei Ram-Om, embodies the virtues of Yoga he has learned from his Guru:  kindness, patience, humility, fortitude, humor, selfless service, ahimsa (non-harm), and unlimited love, compassion and understanding for all.   He is a master at helping students at any level lose their fear and become steadfast Yogis in their daily lives. All teachings he imparts are established in classical traditions, whose effects are remarkable and life-changing.  Students and teachers from around the world are forever changed by these simple ancient teachings, which embrace all aspects of the science of Yoga, from the physical to the esoteric. 

Andrei Ram travels the world leading yoga workshops, retreats and the “Self Realization Immersion Course”.

Nouvelles de mars/March news

Dear Students and Friends,
Another class is being added to the roster this month. On March 31, I am including a yoga class for Seniors.
It will be Thursdays from 13h00-14h00. It is only a 1-hr class and if the Senior is 60 and over the class is free and I am teaching it.
Please pass the news on to your families and friends.
I am happy to add this class to our growing curriculum. Yoga for Every-Body!

The next meditation evening will be Saturday, March 26 at 18h30.

Vernal Equinox class - the usual time, Monday March 21.
In our Nature bodies, Springtime is the New Year. Don't be surprised if you feel a little sluggish, but your body is craving to move out of the winter and be back in a regular practice.
And as Patanjali says, in all earnestness!

Yoga on Holiday, Milos Greece. July 9-16, 2011
There are still a few places for the yoga summer holiday retreat. All the details are on the blog. Please let me know if you have any questions. The flights are quite reasonable right now.

Chers étudiants et amis,
Une nouvelle classe est ajoutée à notre agenda du mois. A compter du 31 mars, je vais proposer un cours pour les seniors.
Ce sera les jeudis de 13 à 14 heures. Ce cours n'est que d'une heure, et si le senior a 60 ans ou plus, le cours est alors gratuit. Je vais dispenser ce cours moi-même.
Je vous remercie d'avance de faire passer l'info à vos proches et à votre famille.
Je suis heureuse de rajouter ce cours à notre planning qui ne cesse de grandir : Yoga pour tous !

La prochaine séance de méditation aura lieu samedi 26 mars à 18 heures 30.

Equinoxe de printemps - lundi Mars 21. Cours aux horaires habituels
Dans notre corps naturel, le printemps est synonyme de nouvelle année. Ne soyez pas surpris si vous vous sentez un peu lent, mais votre corps n'a qu'une envie, sortir de l'hiver et être de retour à une pratique régulière. Comme dit en Patanjali, "en toute sincérité"!

Retraite de Yoga cet été en Grèce - île de Milos, du 09 au 16 juillet 2011.
Il reste encore quelques places pour la retraite de yoga cet été. Tous les détails sont sur le blog.
Pour toutes questions n'hésitez-pas à me contacter ! Les vols sont tout à fait raisonnables en ce moment.

Très bon mois de mars à tous et célébrez le printemps!
A très vite,

namaste,
Michelle

Meditation 26 Februrary, 18h30

Meditating on Peace

What I found especially moving these past few days when closely following the news from Africa and the Mideast was that when the peoples of Libya and Bahrain discovered they were cut off from cell service and the internet, they had just one plea, that we remember them in our thoughts and prayers.  That we support their non-violent movement for peace and that we understand their desire and quest for a full life of freedom.  And, as in the victorious movements of Egypt and Tunisia that we recognize every human need to feel honor, in every aspect of life, to have one's needs acknowledged and one's need to be a contributing member of our society on this earth fulfilled.  That life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are inalienable rights to all the citizenry of the world.  The ancients described this as fullness or 

purna.

We are living and witnessing a very dramatic and exciting time.  I am humbled by the bravery of those who are fighting for their freedom and am in deep appreciation to all who have dedicated their insights and access to education to bring those less fortunate in touch with each other, that it is easier for us now to reach out to those in darkness than ever before.  Not only do all these ingredients come together to create peace they create purna.

Available from the NYT on line is a picture of a young Libyan boy with eyes glowing with the light of awakening, as he salutes the camera in a looted military uniform.

Thoughts and intentions sent out, matter.  They also send out matter.

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2011/02/22/world/africa/20110223_LIBYA-4.html

This is our yogic prayer to him and his fellow countrymen.

We are all united.

May auspiciousness be unto all.

May peace be unto all.

May fulness be unto all.

May prosperity be unto all.

May all be free from disabilities.

May all look to the good of others.

May none suffer from sorrow.
