Swami Divyananda MaE-RYT 500Swami Divyananda Ma, E-RYT 500, has had a wealth of experience teaching Integral Yoga around the world since 1973. She has taught at corporations, universities, the Commonwealth Cancer Center, and for the Dr. Dean Ornish Reversing Heart Disease programs. She has also served as one of Integral Yoga’s Basic Hatha teacher trainers.
Swami Divyananda Ma took monastic vows in 1975 from the great saint and yogi, Sri Swami Satchidananda. Over the years she has served as the director of the Integral Yoga Institutes in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and as Ashram Manager at Yogaville. She also served for ten years as the director of the Integral Yoga Institute in Coimbatore, India; this immersion into the South Indian culture has given depth to her understanding and practice of Yoga.
Now an itinerant monk, Swami Divyananda is constantly “on the road.” She leads the annual Sacred India Tours to sacred sites in India in addition to international Yoga retreats and trainings.
Give Peace a Chance: A Meditation Reboot – Online
Nothing sweetens life so much as a meditation practice. Join Swami Divyananda for a meditation reboot, with eleven days of practice progressing from 15 minutes of silent meditation on the first day to 45 on the last day. Time will also be devoted to the inspirations, instructions, and principles which put us firmly on the pathway to peace.
Beginners are welcome to this online workshop: during the first three days, a concurrent class session will be offered to provide basic instruction. Whether you are brand-new to meditation or experienced-but-struggling, these sessions will address your needs and give you the tools and support to sustain and advance a meditation practice.
During this online meditation program, you will have access to live lecture and meditation sessions with Swami Divyananda at 6:45&7:30 pm ET each day, plus Q&A sessions on May 11 and May 17 (sessions on these two days will be at 6:45&8:15 pm ET).
