March is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month. An estimated 2.8 million people worldwide are living with this disease, which affects the central nervous system and often impacts mobility. Maria Jones (E-RYT 500) has been working with those living with MS since the beginning of her yoga teaching journey, and is the author of The Chair Yoga Handbook. Join us for a discussion and practical learning on yoga practices shown to be beneficial for people living with Multiple Sclerosis. In this workshop, you will: · Increase your awareness of Multiple Sclerosis and its symptoms · Examine how MS affects the lives of those living with the condition · Be introduced to yoga practices that are safe and potentially effective in supporting the everyday lives of those living with MS

Part 2 of our series will look at how the Gita presents us with a new set of underlying assumptions about the nature of reality. We will explore topics like Metaphysics, the concept that “reality” may expand past what can be seen or measured, and Theology, and how their presence emerges in the Bhagavad Gita. In this session, you’ll learn: · How the Gita’s metaphysical conception of reality works... and how it can change the way we see the world · How the Gita’s concept of God is different from western monotheism · What makes the Gita’s philosophy exist beyond the structure of religion Those who register for this workshop will receive The Yoga Ladder, an excerpt from Hari-kirtana’s forthcoming book, Journey Into The Bhagavad-gita.
