When the Going Gets Tough: Yoga for Difficult Times

Program Description

When the Going Gets Tough: Yoga for Difficult Times

We live in an age characterized by an increasing sense of uncertainty. We are exposed daily to a world in crisis, from natural disasters to political upheaval, from tremendous violence to widespread injustice. Maintaining our well-being, living by spiritual values and finding genuine fulfillment can seem impossible when surrounded by a workaholic culture, rampant with greed, deception, and “image is everything” messages.

Swami Ramananda will present the distilled wisdom of the Yoga teachings as practical principles essential for building immunity and resilience, and creating a fulfilling life. Together we will reflect on how to empower ourselves and how a spiritual practice attunes our hearts and minds to the spiritual consciousness we share.
