Samkhya Philosophy: Foundation for Yoga and Ayurveda
Panditji
2 hours, 15 min

Program Description

Samkhya is one of the six classical Indian schools of philosophy, and the oldest formulation of the ideas of even older revealed texts, like the Upanishads and the Vedas. Yoga, tantra, and ayurveda are all rooted in Samkhya philosophy, and its concepts are essential in understanding the context for study and practice. In this mini-course, Panditji describes the major ideas of Samkhya. Study questions and notes will help you assimilate the basics and expand your grasp and application of all aspects of yoga, Ayurveda, and tantra.
Kundalini: Inner Healing for a Troubled World
Panditji
7 hours, 26 min

Program Description

Kundalini shakti, the primordial pool of energy and consciousness lying dormant in us, is an inexhaustible source of healing, nourishment, vitality, and joy. By making skillful use of that aspect of kundalini shakti which is already awake—called prana shakti—we can further awaken our kundalini shakti and heal the negativity in the depths of our mind and heart by connecting with our own inner essence.
The Healing Art of Meditation
Rolf Sovik

8 hours, 14 min

Program Description

Meditation and its companion practices constitute a healing art. They restore internal balance, remind us of our spiritual priorities, and offer a wide variety of techniques to help us regain our innate sense of hope and optimism.
The Mystery of Willpower and Trustful Surrender: Tripura Rahasya
Panditji
9 hours, 30 min

Program Description

The Tripura Rahasya is a dialogue between two great masters, Dattatreya and Parashurama. These two masters embody a vast range of human experience, and their dialogue answers such compelling questions as: Why some of us succeed in life while others struggle in vain? Why some of our intentions bear fruit and others remain barren? Why some of us meet a teacher and receive guidance while others don’t? Why some of us have a clear mind, sharp intellect, indomitable will, and unwavering conviction in Divine Providence, while others lack these essential tools?
Breath of Life: Yoga and The Five Pranas Vayus
Sandra Anderson
9 hours, 54 min

Program Description

Because inner healing and awakening begins with understanding and accessing the life force, prana shakti, working with this potent force is the objective of yoga practice. We can explore prana shakti through the prana vayus, the five aspects of prana that animate and integrate the body and mind. During the course of this weekend, we’ll discover how the prana vayus are related to the structure of the body, the chakras, and the mental/ emotional patterns, and we’ll learn how to cultivate sensitivity to the inner pranic flow of intelligence and awareness.
Yoga, Yoga Therapy,
and Yoga Sadhana

Panditji
9 hours, 24 min

Program Description

The goal of yoga is to eliminate the threefold suffering: physical distress, mental anguish, and spiritual affliction. In these sessions, Pandit Tigunait will share his understanding and experience of yoga sadhana and how it has strengthened his conviction in the necessity of keeping yoga in yoga therapy.
The Four Desires
Rod Stryker

7 hours, 58 min

Program Description

“Yoga’s supreme objective is to awaken an exalted state of spiritual realization, yet the tradition also teaches you how to live and how to shape your life with a commanding sense of purpose, capacity, and meaning. In the end, yoga has less to do with what you can do with your body and more to do with the happiness that unfolds from realizing your full potential.: —Rod Stryker, The Four Desires
Discover the Chakras: Subtle Centers of Meditation
Rolf Sovik
6 hours, 20 min

Program Description

Chakras, the centers of subtle energy along the spinal column, play a dynamic role in the practice of meditation. They govern regions of human anatomy, sectioning the body into distinct organ systems and anatomical functions.
The Mystery and Power of Mantra
Rolf Sovik
7 hours, 28 min

Program Description

Mantras serve as prayers, as resources for contemplation, and as pure sounds linking awareness to higher states of being. It is rewarding to know more about these various aspects of mantra practice and to link the use of mantras to your spiritual aspirations.
Tantra: A Foundation for Practice
Sandra Anderson
8 hours, 38 min

Program Description

Understanding and practicing tantra can empower your life and your spiritual practice by enabling you to activate your inner life force. Discover how your yoga practice is related to the esoteric, exotic, and comprehensive world of tantra, and take your practice to the next level.
Bringing Daily Meditation to Life
Rolf Sovik

Fire and Ice: Yoga to Balance the Extremes
Shari Friedrichsen
7 hours, 52 min

Program Description

Extremes can entrench us in our habits and trap us in our comfort zones. However, we can use these extremes to see where we have become internally frozen or inflamed. This seminar will provide the tools and means to temper our internal weather—to thaw the frozen habits that bind us to fear and sorrow and to soothe.
