Rise and Shine: Happiness is your nature!

Hi Beauties,

There is more than ever to celebrate this Father’s Day, Solstice weekend because the United Nations has declared June 21 the first-ever International Day of Yoga!

Would you like to be radiantly healthy, spiritually awake & passionately engaged this summer and forever more? Yes..I know I would. Well then I’m inviting you to take off your shoes and socks and dip a toe into the river of love that is Yoga. Yoga is so much more than a series of postures: it is a way of life, a state of being, a way ofrelating to the world and to Self that reveals the essential unity and beauty of Existence! As one of my favorite teacher’s DonnaFarhi says,

Yoga does not remove us from the reality or responsibilities of everyday life but rather places our feet firmly and resolutely in the practical ground of experience. We don’t transcend our lives; we return to the life we left behind in the hopes of something better.

So whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, participating in The Yoga Day Summit on the first-ever International Day of Yoga is a chance to experience and celebrate the beauty, power and depth of yoga as a vehicle for living a divine life and creating a world built on oneness.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built.”- Rumi

So join this inspired event and hear from 45+ saints and sages of India, leading teachers, musicians and modern yogis – including Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, Deepak Chopra, Shankaracharya Swami Divyanand Teerthji, Dr. Vandana Shiva, Shiva Rea, Seane Corn, Michael Singer, Deva Premal & Miten, and more – who are sharing insights on a vast array of subjects, from yoga’s ancient roots to its modern transformation.

During The Yoga Day Summit, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in powerful experiential activities as well, including a global wave of sun salutations around the world, a global unification meditation, as well as asana, breathing and mantra practices.

The autonomic nervous system is divided into the sympathetic system, which is often identified with the fight-or-flight response, and the parasympathetic, which is identified with what’s been called the relaxation response. When you do yoga – the deep breathing, the stretching, the movements that release muscle tension, the relaxed focus on being present in your body – you initiate a process that turns the fight or flight system off and the relaxation response on. That has a dramatic effect on the body. The heartbeat slows, respiration decreases, blood pressure decreases. The body seizes this chance to turn on the healing mechanisms.
