Karma Yoga (कर्म योग)

Welcome Back Peter Sterios May 1 and 2, 2010

Karma yoga or the "discipline of action" is based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. One of the four pillars of yoga, Karma yoga focuses on the adherence to duty while remaining detached from the reward. It states that one can experience love of God by performing their duties in an unselfish manner for the pleasure of the Supreme, which is the welfare of the world. Karma Yoga is an intrinsic part of many derivative types of yoga.

We at YogaFlex are dedicated to the practice of Karma Yoga. Next class is Sunday February 28th from 5:30-6:30 with Maria. All proceeds benefit Purple Promise. This charity is very near to Dena as this foundation was created in honor of her childhood friend, Jessica Hodgkins Dovi, who passed away from Melanoma at age 30 only four short months after giving birth to her son. For more information, please visit their website at www.purplepromise.org.

GRAVITY AND GRACE: The Power of Surrender and Intuitive Response

By design, the practice of Hatha Yoga produces a very physical experience, and also has the potential to produce a powerful mystical experience, depending on the quality of one’s attention during practice.

In this workshop, guidance will be given, in very clear and concise ways, to sharpen our attention and reacquaint ourselves with what lies beyond the purely physical experience, what is often referred to as the mystical. Understanding the power and the place for such experiences is helpful as we age, to maintain a meaningful and healthy life.
