FREE WORKSHOP
TONIGHT
with Stan Woodman

Wed, July 11th, 6:30-8:30pm


Come explore all things Ashtanga Yoga and the way in which it was taught by Sri K Pattabhi Jois.  
 
  • Why it was taught in the "mysore" method?
  • Led Class vs Mysore.
  • The natural progression of the postures, sequence and different series.  
  • The philosophy of Patanjali and it's connection to what we are doing when we practice asana.  
 
We will also spend time exploring the asana sequencing for Surya Namaskara, standing sequence, primary series and closing including drishti and bandha.




Puja, Homa and Lecture
with Eddie Stern

Evening of July 18TH
6:30-8:30PM



Please wear clean, festive clothing, and bring fresh fruits, nuts, or flowers, which we will offer to Ganesh during.

Throughout 2018, Eddie will be going around the world performing Ganesh Pujas to spread the awareness of the plight of the mighty and majestic elephants, whose existence on this planet is being imperiled through poaching. 

While pujas are always free, we are accepting donations at the end of these special pujas, and all of the money collected will be donated to Knot On MY Planet, which supports elephant protection in Africa and the end of the ivory trade worldwide. These pujas are being performed, this year, in Moscow, Stockholm, Chengdu, London, Amsterdam, Milan, India, Buenos Aires, and Tel Aviv and right here in Ridgefield, CT. 

Ganesh is the elephant-headed Hindu deity who is the remover of obstacles, and the giver of success for all new undertakings. This ceremony creates a feeling of joy and devotion, and creates a special sense of community. Explanations will be given as we go through the steps of the ceremony, which will include group chanting and other offerings. 

There are only 415,000 elephants left in the world, and they are being slaughtered at a rate of 30,000 per year. If this is allowed to continue, we could be the last generation to ever see an elephant in the wild.
