The Yoga Sadhana Seminars
Seminar 1: Thursday, Feb 2nd, 7:30 - 9:30pm
Seminar 2: Thursday, Feb 16th, 7:30 - 9:30pm
Cost: $30 per workshop
Meditation, Talks and Dialogues on the Meaning and Practice of Yoga
The Sanskrit word sadhana means "practice" or "accomplish." In this seminar series we will be exploring various forms of traditional Yoga Sadhana. We have often hear that Yoga is more than the practice of postures (asana), but what exactly is this "more"? How is Yoga to be practiced off the mat and outside of the studio? What are the so-called "deeper dimensions" of Yoga and how are they to be practiced in our everyday lives? If these questions interest you then please join me for one or more of these evening seminars. Each evening we will explore, discuss and meditate on the heart of Yoga practice. Each seminar will cover three different topics (See Below). - Satyam (Salvatore Familia)
Seminar 1 Topics:
- Yoga Sadhana is a disposition of your heart, not the position of your body.
- The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita: the Sadhana of Conflict, Crisis and Circumstance.
- Sinatra Sings Patanjali: Uncovering the Western Bhakti tradition within the Great American Songbook.
Seminar 2 Topics:
- The Fig Seed Experiment: Teaching-Stories from the Forests of Ancient India
- Two Birds of Golden Plumage, close companions, clasping the Same Tree...
- Pratyahara: the Misunderstood Limb of Patanjali's Eightfold Yoga (ashta-anga-yoga)

Divine Sleep is:
- meditative and soothing
- heart opening and cultivates self-compassion
- activates our dormant healing energy
- evolves one towards self-awakening Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra has the power to transform us at our core. This ancient tantric meditation systematically guides you through each layer of being called the koshas. These include the physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers, making this practice a healing that is inclusive of our whole being.
Practicing Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra
An enjoyable and easy practice, Yoga Nidra is more accessible than most forms of yoga since all it requires is to lie down and listen. It can be practiced at any time of the day except right after a meal. 15-45 minutes is all that is required. It is most effective practiced every day or second day. It is best to listen to a teacher guiding Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra in person or on a CD. Once one is familiar with the preliminary stages they may be self-guided.
Divine Sleep can be done in savasana pose — simply lying on your back — or side laying for pregnancy, snoring, or coughing. It can also be done seated as for meditation. It is best to practice on the floor on a mat or blanket, rather than on bed or couch, where the state of sleeping lingers. Make sure the body feels supported, comfortable and warm. You may like to place a cushion under the knees and a towel folded to 1 or 2" under the head, rather than a pillow, for proper alignment of the spine. Use an eye pillow if you like and cover up with a blanket. Practice in a quiet place where you will not be interrupted.

Chair Yoga for Every Body: Basics and Flows
Chair Yoga can be fun and challenging. Chair Yoga offers an alternative to mat yoga that can be just as challenging. Let's face it, not everyone feels comfortable sitting on the floor. That alone can make yoga inaccessible.
However, many postures that are done sitting on the floor can also be done sitting in a chair with better alignment, less pain and discomfort.
