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. \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\nzoom link to join online https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82225252205 \n\n\n\nPurchase yoga classes passes HERE https://www.anandawashington.org/yoga-online/ URL:https://www.anandawashington.org/awevent/movement-as-meditation-yoga-with-kevin-2/2024-03-29/ LOCATION:Yoga Hall – Bothell\, 23305 Bothell Everett Highway\, Bothell\, WA\, 98036\, United States CATEGORIES:Classes - Yoga Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.anandawashington.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Kevin.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240330T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240330T090000 DTSTAMP:20240328T015851 CREATED:20231213T234749Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240124T233336Z UID:10007475-1711782000-1711789200@www.anandawashington.org SUMMARY:Saturday Morning Meditation at Ananda Community DESCRIPTION:Saturday morning meditations at Ananda Community\, Lynnwood \n\n\n\nSaturday morning meditations are being extended from the first Saturday of each month to four Saturdays each month: 7 to 9 a.m. in Hansa Temple.

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. \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 \nClick Here to Watch or Download Past Sunday Services URL:https://www.anandawashington.org/awevent/sunday-service-at-ananda/2024-03-31/ LOCATION:Blue Lotus Temple\, 23305 Bothell Everett Highway\, Bothell\, WA\, 98021\, United States CATEGORIES:Events - Inspirational,Events - Service ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.anandawashington.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/smallHandPcandle.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240331T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240331T111500 DTSTAMP:20240328T015851 CREATED:20240112T022120Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240116T205405Z UID:10008385-1711879200-1711883700@www.anandawashington.org SUMMARY:Circle of Joy Sunday School DESCRIPTION:In person every Sunday during Service\, for children ages 4-10.

On an energetic level\, backbends transition you from the past into the present—the only place where true happiness resides. Backbends also facilitate the opening of three major centers in the body—the pelvis\, the heart\, and the throat. This workshop will guide you in bringing the energy of the lower three chakras into the heart center. \n\n\n\nAlignment in backbends realigns the physical spine with the deep astral spine\, cultivating the beauty of the heart alongside the wisdom of the soul. The progressive sequence of asanas in this class aims to bring joy into your life. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, the class will focus on yoga therapeutics for irregular heartbeat or mitral valve prolapse\, often referred to as a “heart murmur” when blood flows back the wrong way into the heart’s atrium. \n\n\n\nTherefore\, the class will conclude with a focus on restorative poses for the heart and diaphragm\, including passive Setu Bandha Sarvangasana and Viparita Dandasana. \n\n\n\nThroughout the poses\, you will learn how to “breathe the diaphragm widely” to enhance breath expansion during restorative poses.
