Meditation
|
Meditation practice is at the heart of Yoga practice and we are very fortunate to have two wonderful meditation teachers coming to the Yoga Barn in June.
Charlotte Mann has been practicing Tibetan Buddhist Meditation for 20 years. From 1999 through 2003 Charlotte completed the traditional Tibetan 3 year retreat, qualifying her for the title of Lama. After traveling the world extensively Charlotte has settled in our community and will be leading a class in meditation and Buddhism at the Yoga Barn every Wednesday morning at 10:45, beginning Wednesday June 4th.
Class will be one hour and the focus will be mind calming, with and without support, awareness training, and insight practices. Charlotte will include explanations of the underlying philosophy and chanting if these are of interest to the attendees.
Annerie Cornelissen has been involved with the Divyanand Spiritual Foundation for 23 years, practicing Surat Shabd Yoga Meditation, and working as a volunteer with the Divyanand Spiritual Foundation in Stanfordville. DSF is a community of spiritual seekers who share a comminment to realizing the Divine within themselves, and to helping other seekers access the Divine within themselves through meditation. In June, Annerie will teach three classes on Sundays at 4:00 p.m. June 1st, June 8th, and June 15th.
Class will feature a spiritual discourse of the teachings of Soami Divyanand followed by a 30 minute meditation.
There is no charge for either of the meditation classes, but donations to the teachers are welcome.

Dear Yogis and Yoginis,
Summer is in full swing with glorious weather these days and our hope is that you are savoring each wonderful minute.
NEW CLASS:
We have had requests for a 1 hour class; more mid-day classes; and another level 1 class. So combining all these elements we are announcing the addition of a 1 hour class at noon on Wednesdays immediately following the meditation class. It will be a level 1 class taught by Kathy Delia. It begins Wednesday, June 11th.
SATURDAY CLASS:
The overwhelming majority of you voted to keep the Saturday morning class at 10:00 and so it will remain.
NICOLAS AWAY:
Nicolas will be away from Wednesday, June 25th through Saturday, July 5th... so that means no classes for two weeks: no Svaroopa classes on:
Wednesday, June 25th; Friday, June 27th; Wednesday, July 2nd; or Friday, July 4th.
Back in business on Wednesday, July 9th.
SUNDAY MEDITATION CLASS:
The Sunday class is being moved up from 5:00 to 4:00 beginning this Sunday, June 8th.
JULY 4th
Is a Friday and we will be having class at 9:30 with Kavitha, but not at 4:30 with Nicolas.
See the 'Community Events' section for a musical event of interest.
Namaste,
Nancy & Terry

Prana is a nine voice overtone singing choir who's members have the ability to sing two mellifluous pitches at once. Using this technique their sound is a unique cappella mixture of western vocal music and the musics of Tibet, Mongolia, and India.
The members, as individuals, have recorded and performed with so many, the list is too long to include here, but to name a very few: James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, The Talking Heads, Todd Rundren, and Krishna Das.
Prana has performed at several Krishna Das Kirtans in the New York area and recently recorded a CD with Krishna Das called "Gathering in the Light"
Krishna Das will not be at this upcoming performance, but it still promises to be an outstanding experience.
