SUMMARY:Ananda Yoga for Calmness with Kevin
DESCRIPTION:There are many ways to practice yoga postures. Focusing our energy inward and upward during and after a yoga pose is a kind of moving meditation that opens up many hidden potentials and realizations about ourselves. \n\n\n\nWith keen attention on alignment we practice standing firmly on our own two feet\, deeply engaging the core. This rooting allows us a safe and strong alignment all the way up the sacred spine\, where we can realize massive benefits in both physical and subtle ways throughout all the asanas. We practice breathing deeply\, and relaxing\, even in the midst of great effort. Through the use of affirmations and pranayama we align our own consciousness with more expanded realities. \n\n\n\nPausing between postures in a very dynamic way and combining all these things in one intentional focus is perhaps the most powerful aspect of this ancient practice. \n\n\n\nIt is a profound integration\, an art and science\, an immersion which attunes us with the great yoga masters near and far\, and brings us into awareness of our best and highest Self.  This class is suitable for all levels.  Kevin has taught over 1\,000 hours of yoga and also teaches in our Yoga Teacher Training program. \n\n\n\n *Warning: Spontaneous Joy may flow through you in boundless waves! \n\n\n\nJoin Kevin in person or online. This yoga class is followed by a optional 30 minute meditation from 8:15- 8:45p.   \n\n\n\nIf you are new to Ananda Yoga\, your first class is FREE! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoining online?

SUMMARY:Ananda Yoga for Health & Higher Awareness with Kevin
DESCRIPTION:Are you seeking greater health and well-being?  Join Kevin\, E-RYT-200 for this vibrant morning yoga class. \n\n\n\nAnanda Yoga is valuable for anyone seeking greater health and well-being. In Ananda Yoga\, our focus is on bringing higher awareness to several aspects of being\, as taught in The Art and Science of Raja Yoga*. \n\n\n\nOn a physical level\, it can help us be stronger and more aware of how we move our bodies\, to help us root out stuck energy that shows up as tension in the body and mind. We will take time to safely warm up the body and practice proper alignment as we move through the yoga postures\, so that we can effectively awaken the energy and the spine. \n\n\n\nEnergetically\, our focus is on bringing energy into the spine\, and up to the brain\, safely\, gently\, and harmoniously.  This class is suitable for all levels.  Kevin has taught over 1\,000 hours of yoga and also teaches in our Yoga Teacher Training program. \n\n\n\nSpiritually\, we use affirmations aligned with higher states of consciousness\, as there is “a very close connection with positions of the body and attitudes of the mind\, and also of the soul…these poses are intended to change your whole being. And that being is a radiation outward from within. What you are within\, that you will be without.” * \n\n\n\n*Swami Kriyananda\, direct disciple of Paramhansa Yoganananda and founder of Ananda Worldwide and Ananda Yoga \n\n\n\nIf you are new to Ananda Yoga\, your first class is FREE! \n\n\n\nJoining online?

SUMMARY:Sunday Service at Ananda
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT SUNDAY SERVICES AT ANANDA\nSunday Services can also be viewed online starting at 10am! \nSundays at Ananda Meditation Temple are the highlight of the week and are an excellent occasion for your first visit. Sunday Service is drawn from the ancient meditation tradition of the East and the mystical traditions of Christ\, with scriptural readings from both the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita. Service includes music\, chanting\, a brief period of meditation\, inspirational talk\, and a beautiful ceremony called A Festival of Light.  Children are invited to attend Circle of Joy (Sunday School) from 10:00 – 11:15 am.  \nParamhansa Yogananda\, author of  Autobiography of a Yogi and guru-preceptor for the work of Ananda\, encouraged respect for all religions and all forms of sincere worship\, service\, and meditation. His own line of guru-preceptors include Jesus Christ\, Babaji (formerly Krishna)\, Lahiri Mahasaya\, and Swami Sri Yukteswar. Therefore we show particular respect and reverence to Yogananda and these illumined souls who sent him to the West. But our devotion is essentially and always\, as he taught us\, to God alone\, and to the manifest divinity in those whom God sends to earth in human form to teach and uplift others. \nAt Ananda\, each person who comes and participates does so with his or her own\, inner realization and recognition. No one form of reverence\, belief\, or personal relationship to God or the gurus is expected or assumed. All are welcome to the weekly services and meditations. The only suggestion we make is to come with an open heart and an open mind. \nClick Here For More Information

SUMMARY:Ananda Yoga for Calmness with Kevin
DESCRIPTION:There are many ways to practice yoga postures. Focusing our energy inward and upward during and after a yoga pose is a kind of moving meditation that opens up many hidden potentials and realizations about ourselves. \n\n\n\nWith keen attention on alignment we practice standing firmly on our own two feet\, deeply engaging the core. This rooting allows us a safe and strong alignment all the way up the sacred spine\, where we can realize massive benefits in both physical and subtle ways throughout all the asanas. We practice breathing deeply\, and relaxing\, even in the midst of great effort. Through the use of affirmations and pranayama we align our own consciousness with more expanded realities. \n\n\n\nPausing between postures in a very dynamic way and combining all these things in one intentional focus is perhaps the most powerful aspect of this ancient practice. \n\n\n\nIt is a profound integration\, an art and science\, an immersion which attunes us with the great yoga masters near and far\, and brings us into awareness of our best and highest Self.  This class is suitable for all levels.  Kevin has taught over 1\,000 hours of yoga and also teaches in our Yoga Teacher Training program. \n\n\n\n *Warning: Spontaneous Joy may flow through you in boundless waves! \n\n\n\nJoin Kevin in person or online. This yoga class is followed by a optional 30 minute meditation from 8:15- 8:45p.   \n\n\n\nIf you are new to Ananda Yoga\, your first class is FREE! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoining online?

SUMMARY:Ananda Yoga for Health & Higher Awareness with Kevin
DESCRIPTION:Are you seeking greater health and well-being?  Join Kevin\, E-RYT-200 for this vibrant morning yoga class. \n\n\n\nAnanda Yoga is valuable for anyone seeking greater health and well-being. In Ananda Yoga\, our focus is on bringing higher awareness to several aspects of being\, as taught in The Art and Science of Raja Yoga*. \n\n\n\nOn a physical level\, it can help us be stronger and more aware of how we move our bodies\, to help us root out stuck energy that shows up as tension in the body and mind. We will take time to safely warm up the body and practice proper alignment as we move through the yoga postures\, so that we can effectively awaken the energy and the spine. \n\n\n\nEnergetically\, our focus is on bringing energy into the spine\, and up to the brain\, safely\, gently\, and harmoniously.  This class is suitable for all levels.  Kevin has taught over 1\,000 hours of yoga and also teaches in our Yoga Teacher Training program. \n\n\n\nSpiritually\, we use affirmations aligned with higher states of consciousness\, as there is “a very close connection with positions of the body and attitudes of the mind\, and also of the soul…these poses are intended to change your whole being. And that being is a radiation outward from within. What you are within\, that you will be without.” * \n\n\n\n*Swami Kriyananda\, direct disciple of Paramhansa Yoganananda and founder of Ananda Worldwide and Ananda Yoga \n\n\n\nIf you are new to Ananda Yoga\, your first class is FREE! \n\n\n\nJoining online?

SUMMARY:Sunday Service at Ananda
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT SUNDAY SERVICES AT ANANDA\nSunday Services can also be viewed online starting at 10am! \nSundays at Ananda Meditation Temple are the highlight of the week and are an excellent occasion for your first visit. Sunday Service is drawn from the ancient meditation tradition of the East and the mystical traditions of Christ\, with scriptural readings from both the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita. Service includes music\, chanting\, a brief period of meditation\, inspirational talk\, and a beautiful ceremony called A Festival of Light.  Children are invited to attend Circle of Joy (Sunday School) from 10:00 – 11:15 am.  \nParamhansa Yogananda\, author of  Autobiography of a Yogi and guru-preceptor for the work of Ananda\, encouraged respect for all religions and all forms of sincere worship\, service\, and meditation. His own line of guru-preceptors include Jesus Christ\, Babaji (formerly Krishna)\, Lahiri Mahasaya\, and Swami Sri Yukteswar. Therefore we show particular respect and reverence to Yogananda and these illumined souls who sent him to the West. But our devotion is essentially and always\, as he taught us\, to God alone\, and to the manifest divinity in those whom God sends to earth in human form to teach and uplift others. \nAt Ananda\, each person who comes and participates does so with his or her own\, inner realization and recognition. No one form of reverence\, belief\, or personal relationship to God or the gurus is expected or assumed. All are welcome to the weekly services and meditations. The only suggestion we make is to come with an open heart and an open mind. \nClick Here For More Information

SUMMARY:Ananda Yoga for Calmness with Kevin
DESCRIPTION:There are many ways to practice yoga postures. Focusing our energy inward and upward during and after a yoga pose is a kind of moving meditation that opens up many hidden potentials and realizations about ourselves. \n\n\n\nWith keen attention on alignment we practice standing firmly on our own two feet\, deeply engaging the core. This rooting allows us a safe and strong alignment all the way up the sacred spine\, where we can realize massive benefits in both physical and subtle ways throughout all the asanas. We practice breathing deeply\, and relaxing\, even in the midst of great effort. Through the use of affirmations and pranayama we align our own consciousness with more expanded realities. \n\n\n\nPausing between postures in a very dynamic way and combining all these things in one intentional focus is perhaps the most powerful aspect of this ancient practice. \n\n\n\nIt is a profound integration\, an art and science\, an immersion which attunes us with the great yoga masters near and far\, and brings us into awareness of our best and highest Self.  This class is suitable for all levels.  Kevin has taught over 1\,000 hours of yoga and also teaches in our Yoga Teacher Training program. \n\n\n\n *Warning: Spontaneous Joy may flow through you in boundless waves! \n\n\n\nJoin Kevin in person or online. This yoga class is followed by a optional 30 minute meditation from 8:15- 8:45p.   \n\n\n\nIf you are new to Ananda Yoga\, your first class is FREE! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoining online?

SUMMARY:Ananda Yoga for Health & Higher Awareness with Kevin
DESCRIPTION:Are you seeking greater health and well-being?  Join Kevin\, E-RYT-200 for this vibrant morning yoga class. \n\n\n\nAnanda Yoga is valuable for anyone seeking greater health and well-being. In Ananda Yoga\, our focus is on bringing higher awareness to several aspects of being\, as taught in The Art and Science of Raja Yoga*. \n\n\n\nOn a physical level\, it can help us be stronger and more aware of how we move our bodies\, to help us root out stuck energy that shows up as tension in the body and mind. We will take time to safely warm up the body and practice proper alignment as we move through the yoga postures\, so that we can effectively awaken the energy and the spine. \n\n\n\nEnergetically\, our focus is on bringing energy into the spine\, and up to the brain\, safely\, gently\, and harmoniously.  This class is suitable for all levels.  Kevin has taught over 1\,000 hours of yoga and also teaches in our Yoga Teacher Training program. \n\n\n\nSpiritually\, we use affirmations aligned with higher states of consciousness\, as there is “a very close connection with positions of the body and attitudes of the mind\, and also of the soul…these poses are intended to change your whole being. And that being is a radiation outward from within. What you are within\, that you will be without.” * \n\n\n\n*Swami Kriyananda\, direct disciple of Paramhansa Yoganananda and founder of Ananda Worldwide and Ananda Yoga \n\n\n\nIf you are new to Ananda Yoga\, your first class is FREE! \n\n\n\nJoining online?
