President's Message |
|
Dear YTOC members:
Over this last year, especially these past few months, we have seen an unprecedented amount of upheaval. While the country remains at war, we have elected a new President and are now seeing a day by day breakdown of our financial systems. At this moment we are being challenged to redefine ourselves and our values as individuals, as communities and as a country.
I do not have magic words or know the solution to these events, but I do know that the practice of Yoga has helped me clarify, understand and integrate my experience. To enrich your lives, I invite you to join us for the next two YTOC events: In January, we will begin by listening to a wise woman, Rama Jyoti Vernon, and in February we will learn how to share our practice with those less fortunate in our special "Yoga in Prisons" event.
When I listen to YTOC members discuss what they like about our organization, the word community always comes up. Our programs bring the opportunity to share with each other. It truly is a gift! I hope to see you at our next event and don't forget to check out what is happening with fellow YTOC members and studios. You can see a combined list of events by clicking on the YTOC Events page on the left hand side of the YTOC home page.
Finally, I would like to recognize our YTOC events from this past year. The events have been varied and well-attended by so many our supporting members, family and friends. We recently wrapped our year with an introspective look at our Yoga Nidra event and it will be exciting to start the next year with a look towards peace in the community. Sincerely, Karin Bustamante YTOC President

Details: Based on a deep understanding of the Yoga Sutras and through her work in citizen diplomacy and conflict resolution around the world, Rama Jyoti has developed systems for the healing of self and the healing between nations. Rama will speak on spiritual principles that are the basis for resolving conflict in our lives and in our world.
Rama Jyoti Vernon, internationally known Yoga teacher, is founder of the International Yoga College, the California Yoga Teachers' Association and Unity in Yoga International. In addition to her extensive background in asana, Rama is well versed in the philosophy, lineages and healing benefits of Yoga. Rama Jyoti's foundation of deep spirituality was a gift at birth, and beyond. She has studied with many great yoga masters including BKS Iyengar, Sant Keshavadas, TKV Desikachar, Sri Aurobindo through Dr. Haridas Chaudhuri (Founder, California Institute for Integral studies) and others. Her unique approach to asana emphasizes opening the body by extending and breathing into each pose as a deeply spiritual offering. She is one of the originators of Yoga Journal and has devoted much of her life to peace missions throughout the world including the Soviet Union, Israel, and Central America.
