Yoga as a Spiritual Practice

  • Ananda Teaching Center 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA United States (map)

Saturday morning workshop

The spiritual path is the journey from outward-focused attention to inner awareness. Ananda Yoga, which emphasizes the connection between the body, mind and heart, is a practice that fosters this deeper understanding by working with that inner energy, directing it inward and upward. In this morning workshop we will share, through philosophy, discussion and practice, the power of Ananda Yoga to reawaken our soul to higher awareness, the essence of the spiritual path.

In this morning workshop we will:

  • Share inspiration about Ananda Yoga from Swami Kriyananda

  • Discuss the physical, psychological and spiritual benefits of asana, pranayama, affirmation and deep relaxation

  • Energize the body and mind by tuning into subtle energy flows

  • Practice an Ananda Yoga asana flow

Guided by Bhawani
