What “Patricia Walden” says about Edwin

“One of the primary reasons I chose to work with Edwin is that he is able to work with difficult philosophical concepts in ways that students understand and he is wonderfully patient with those who don’t immediately follow what he is saying.”

“To practise Yoga without studying The Yoga Sutras is like being in a plane without radar. You don’t know where you are going.”

Nadis & Cakras Workshop
with Ramanand Patel

  • September 18-20, 2009
  • Moretown Town Hall, Moretown, Vermont

Everything leads to mula bandha; the energy gained and contained in turn feeds everything else. When that energy is specifically directed towards nadies and cakras, it opens up the possibility of helping to achieve samadhi. When that experience is directed with correct intent by the mind, that mind sees the fallacy of the whole thought based and “I” centered knowledge. For a serious and sensitive looker that seeing can give rise to an insight which is not of the mind, is not time-based and has no “I” center. That insight is enlightenment, which belongs to the brain, not to the mind.

Schedule

  • Friday, Sept. 18, 2009, 6:00 – 8:00 pm
  • Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009, 10:30 am – 4:30 pm
  • Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, 10:30 am – 4:30 pm

A Mala for the Guru
A Class in honor of
BKS Iyengar’s 90th birthday

Mad River Yoga will join in studios around the world participating in “A Mala for the Guru,” a fundraising class in honor of Guruji , B.K.S. Iyengar’s 90th Birthday.

The proceeds from Monday’s class went directly to the Bellur
Krishnamachar  Trust (BKSSNT). This Trust was formed by Guruji with a
vision to serve his ancestral home in Bellur, India.

This will help not only the villagers but also the children of villages near by Bellur. The projects include building a yoga hall for children, construction of a 50,000 gallon water drinking water tank for the village, and a high school for girls, who generally discontinue education after 7th grade since there is no school nearby.
