Keynote by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait

Yoga and the Awakening of Kundalini Shakti

Taken together, the practices of yoga--asanas, pranayamas, bandhas, mudras, and meditation--are designed to help us gain access to the core of our being, the infinite pool or beauty, bliss, and power known as kundalini shakti. But the modern approach of dissecting a body of knowledge and studying its components in isolation prevents us from truly understanding yoga. The result is that we have come to mistake a part of yoga for the whole of yoga. Pandit Tigunait, in his keynote speech, will share with us the integrative approach to learning and practicing yoga so that we can experience the total range of its benefits including physical fitness, mental clarity, and identifying and awakening kundalini shakti. Open to all.

Closing Remarks by Beryl Bender Birch

Keeping Your Heart Open
Rain or shine, stormy or sunny, our work in yoga is to stay open, to walk the path of nonresistance. The minute we resist what “is,” we miss out on whatever life is offering at that moment. If we know how to live daily life, which is the point of practicing yoga, then life becomes a very liberating experience. Every moment is a choice—so do we want to be happy, or miserable? Learn the secret to accepting life’s journey with gratitude and joy no matter what is going on in your life or swirling around you. Open to all.
