Monthly Satsang - Coming Together as Community.
“Satsang” is a combination of two sanskrit words: sat meaning “Truth” and sanga meaning “in company of”. So when we gather for satsang we are coming together in the company or community of Truth.
The Yoga Academy of North America (YANA),are delighted to be host these monthly informal gatherings of spiritual reflection, discussion, meditation and other practices to support each other on the journey of living yoga from moment to moment.
Details of this month’s Satsang:
Yoga & Trauma -
Adapt your Presence & Practice to Better Serve Yourself & Those Living with Trauma
with Sannyasi Yogatara.
The world can feel increasingly overwhelming these days. Whether it’s natural disasters, wars, social upheaval or political uncertainty, these events add on to the challenges and stressors we may have already had- or are currently experiencing.
In this 75 min satsang learn the basics of what happens in trauma and how you can strategically use and adapt yogic tools to better support yourself and your community who are living with its effects.
In this session, you’ll learn about:
- the hallmarks of trauma: why it happens, how it happens & what it “looks” like
- how to best help: what to do & what to avoid doing
- practices of “self regulation” using yoga
- why relaxation doesn’t always work and what to do instead
Yoga, as a life science, is a powerful tool for healing. One of its more potent “medicines” is satsang—coming together in the spirit of positivity, inspiration & support.
We look forward to gathering with you.
THIS IS A FREE EVENT*.
