"Pranayama is a method of refining the makeup of one's pranic body, one's physical body and also of one's mind. In this way, it is possible for a practitioner to become aware of new dimensions of existence." Swami Satyananda
Prana is the basis of life. Hatha yoga is a carefully constructed system of practices for the management of prana. Within hatha yoga, pranayama is the category of practice that is most directly involved with awakening, expanding and directing the pranas of the human body. Therefore, pranayama is a fundamental method of influencing ones experience of life. Conversations on the Science of Yoga - Pranayama

Feeling stuck can become an opportunity for a Spring De Clutter Retreat for change instead of sinking in it:
Whether you feel stuck in your day to day repetitive work environment, your yoga practice and spiritual growth or any other aspect of life it is frustrating, unfulfilling and breeds unhappiness and discontent.
Set the task of daily self-awareness in observing the unaware patterns in your regular life. These patterns may be hidden in physical, mental and emotional patterns in the body, mind or speech. By doing a simple regular practice of self-awareness meditation at the end of the day and consciously watching these patterns will identify a graph of continual unconscious habits patterns.
Change begins once we become aware of the derailing effect unconscious habit patterns have on our happiness in life.
A regular routine of 5 simple practical and regular yoga techniques can develop self-awareness infusing life with enhanced vitality and direction.
Regular practices of:
• Asana – postures
• Pranayama – breathing techniques
• Yoga Nidra – deep guided relaxation
• 5 subjects for Self Awareness:
Awareness of thought patterns
Awareness of reaction and responses
Learning to witness – equanimity – balance of mind
Transforming negative to positive
Creating a Sankalpa - firm intention

At the beginning of the year we often look back over the year that has just flown by and did we ever Make a Start on that intended yoga, meditation and relaxation routine for much needed health and de-escalation of stress levels!!!
Usually the answer is no because somehow a mountain of other stuff got in the way.
The benefits of a regular practice of yoga & meditation is summarized as living consciously to experience a joyful way of living. It helps us manage our stress levels, improves the quality of our relationships, and enables us to access greater levels of clarity, insight, and focus.
And one more step: don’t leave your home without breathing deeply and taking the benefits of wellness and centeredness out the door with you.

Memory is fundamental to the human experience. Personality, emotion, learning, creativity, and activities of daily living are a few examples of our experiences that directly rely on memory. Our memory is highly dynamic as it is constantly being shaped by what we experience and how we interpret these experiences. In addition, our age, mood, health, stress and physical activity levels also influence memory function. Thus, in seeking solutions for how memory can be preserved or even enhanced across the lifespan, we must adopt a holistic perspective of memory whereby we consider biological, psychological and social factors.

Join the Navaratri Devi Puja Sadhana program to celebrate 3 days of Navaratri auspiciousness in chanting the mantras dedicated to Durga for preparing and clearing the path for clarity, direction and wellness in attaining the auspiciousness of Saraswati for creativity, beauty, knowledge & learning.
Devi mantras and Devi havans dedicated to Durga will be performed each morning, along with other chants to invoke blessings.
It is said that whatever time can be spent in Sadhana during Navaratri with sincerity and commitment it bestows upon us peace, plenty & prosperity and spiritual abundance required in leading a joyful and full expression of life.

Arrive in time for Devi Havan @ 5.30pm
Chanting of the Devi Bhajans, morning havan mantras and the Durga Path will be lead by Sw. Muktimurti. Muktis ability to teach the mantras during Navaratri cultivates understanding and a deep inner experience during this time of auspiciousness and sadhana to overcome the obstacles in life.
The text Sri Saundarya Lahari is a compilation of beautiful stotras - verses in praise of Devi or Tripura Sundari. Along with the daily chanting of verses from the text, a special sadhana of discussion and writing of the stotras – verses with the associated mantras and yantras will be included in the Navaratri program. The sessions will be conducted by Sw. Atmamuktananda.
Please bring your text, a special note book and a nice pen to write the mantras and draw the yantras associated with the verses. This sadhana can be continued at home as an anusthana (dedicated practice for a duration of time). The tantras declare the Sri Saundarya Lahari sadhana assists one in overcoming obstacles in life.
Navaratri, literally meaning 'nine nights', commemorates the slaying of the demons by invoking Rama and the goddess Durga, ensuing victory of good over evil. In yoga, these nine nights are considered by the constellations formed and the ancients, auspicious for conducting an anushthana or fixed sadhana in order to bring about inner transformation.
Over nine nights of mantra chanting, havan and satsang, negative tendencies are rooted out and alignment with the positive takes place. The power of Devi, or cosmic energy, is invoked in three forms - Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati - thereby awakening the appropriate energy needed for transformation to take place.
Firstly by cleaning and purifying the inner environment; secondly by decorating, beautifying and nourishing the inner landscape; and lastly, allowing energy to flow creatively in an appreciation of life itself.
On the final day all sadhana and any personal austerities are ceased and Vijaya the victory day is celebrated by havan and expressing joy and upliftment for the beauties and abundance showered upon us in life.
