Joyful Practice, Joyful Life with the OHASHIMethod. A Bodywork Technique
2025-12-11 10:00 - 2025-12-14 17:00 | Integral Yoga Institute New York, 227 West 13th Street New York, New York, NY, 10011, United States
The OHASHI Method, developed by world-renowned teacher Ohashi, emphasizes the preservation of the giver’s body. Taught to thousands of students and bodywork therapists around the world, Ohashi’s unique technique will benefit any practitioner, professional or beginner, by showing how to give the best quality of touch.
You will learn the meridians and acupoints and how to apply this knowledge to give a basic treatment. But more importantly, you will learn how to move your body in order to achieve longevity in your practice and maximize the effectiveness of your touch.
Since arriving in the United State in 1970, for 50 years Ohashi has been teaching his proven idea of, not “bodywork” but “my-body-works”, to thousands of students, teachers and practitioners. The OHASHI Method has stood the test of time as many have adapted his techniques into their practice. Now is your chance to learn directly from Ohashi.
Always taught with joy and humor, Ohashi’s teachings will enhance and change your life — your personal well-being or professional career. Space is limited.
Space is limited.
Also with Ohashi…

The Art of Offering Hands-On Assists: Continuing Education Workshop for IYI Teachers
2025-12-12 18:00 - 20:00 | Integral Yoga Institute New York, 227 West 13th Street New York, New York, NY, 10011, United States
**This workshop is for certified IYI Teachers only**
Integral Yoga encourages practitioners to guide their awareness within, yet reaching that level of depth in hatha practice requires establishing a balance of sthira and sukha that sometimes remains elusive in challenging poses. There may be times when verbal cues and visual demonstration fall short of conveying the information we are asking our students to assimilate into their practice. Here is where gentle and well-informed hands-on assistance can support our students in refining their alignment, leading to an experience of steadiness and ease that will transform their practice.
The art and skill of providing physical touch adjustments and hands-on assistance are tools that belong in every well-trained yoga teacher’s repertoire. Over the past few years, with the shift towards online classes and trainings, this invaluable knowledge may seem to have fallen by the wayside. If you are teaching without the resources to physically assist your students, you probably have a sense that a vital element is missing. This workshop will help fill in that gap, giving you the understanding and technical skills to safely and effectively incorporate hands-on support in your classes.
Assists empower your students by guiding them to discover new possibilities, encouraging them to move beyond self-imposed limitations, and ultimately learning the skills needed to continue evolving on their own. Applied correctly, physical touch adds another dimension to the class, creating a nurturing environment that builds trust and connection between teacher and student. As teachers, it is essential that we understand the power inherent in offering physical adjustments, and develop the confidence and knowledge to appropriately integrate this skill into our teaching toolkit.
This is an in-person program. Registration is free for Active IYI Teachers, $54 for Inactive Teachers.

The Bhagavad Gita in Daily Life
2026-01-14 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-01-21 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-01-28 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-02-04 19:00 - 20:00 | Integral Yoga Institute New York, 227 West 13th Street New York, New York, NY, 10011, United States
The Bhagavad Gita, a foundational scripture of Yoga, provides guidance for facing the everyday challenges of modern life. Its message is that Self-realization is achieved through skillful living in the world, not by retreating from it. We will draw from the Gita practical lessons of how our current challenges can be leveraged to unleash our inner strength and cultivate clarity and peace.
Whether you’re new to the Gita or returning with fresh eyes, this group offers a welcoming space to deepen your relationship with yogic wisdom and discover how its timeless guidance can help you live with more purpose, peace, and strength.
Swami Asokananda draws from years of dedicated practice and personal experience to make this ancient scripture accessible, relevant, and transformational.
Mahatma Gandhi: “When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to the Bhagavad Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meaning from it every day.

TRE® (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises)
2026-02-22 11:00 - 13:00 | Integral Yoga Institute New York, 227 West 13th Street New York, New York, NY, 10011, United States
TRE is a simple, gentle, and profound technique that facilitates the lengthening and relaxation of the psoas muscle and the release of physical and emotional tension and stress. The TRE exercises mildly tire the legs, triggering an involuntary shaking and trembling response, which begins in the legs and often spreads throughout the body. This natural response is the nervous system’s way of discharging long-held tension and unconscious body contraction, caused by everyday stress and traumatic life experiences, in order to restore the body to wholeness.
TRE was developed by Dr. David Berceli, a bioenergetic therapist and social worker, who used it successfully worldwide working with soldiers, firefighters, police officers and survivors of war, natural disasters and other traumatic circumstances to help alleviate the many symptoms of post-traumatic stress. TRE is taught in over 60 countries worldwide.
Reported benefits include:

Decreasing anxiety
Releasing chronic tension
Discharging emotional and physical trauma
Increasing energy and flexibility
Improving sleep and mood
Decreasing of aches, pains and symptoms of fibromyalgia and sciatica

This workshop is suitable for all ages and fitness levels as the exercises can be modified to accommodate anybody’s need.
For more information about TRE please visit TREcalifornia.com.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact maria@TREcalifornia.com.
This workshop takes place 11am–1pm Eastern (8–10am Pacific)
This is an online program.

2026-03-18 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-03-25 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-04-01 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-04-08 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-04-15 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual Online
The Bhagavad Gita, a foundational scripture of Yoga, provides guidance for facing the everyday challenges of modern life. Its message is that Self-realization is achieved through skillful living in the world, not by retreating from it. We will draw from the Gita practical lessons of how our current challenges can be leveraged to unleash our inner strength and cultivate clarity and peace.
Whether you’re new to the Gita or returning with fresh eyes, this group offers a welcoming space to deepen your relationship with yogic wisdom and discover how its timeless guidance can help you live with more purpose, peace, and strength.
Swami Asokananda draws from years of dedicated practice and personal experience to make this ancient scripture accessible, relevant, and transformational.
Mahatma Gandhi: “When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to the Bhagavad Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meaning from it every day.

TRE® (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises)
2026-04-11 11:00 - 13:00 | Virtual Online
TRE is a simple, gentle, and profound technique that facilitates the lengthening and relaxation of the psoas muscle and the release of physical and emotional tension and stress. The TRE exercises mildly tire the legs, triggering an involuntary shaking and trembling response, which begins in the legs and often spreads throughout the body. This natural response is the nervous system’s way of discharging long-held tension and unconscious body contraction, caused by everyday stress and traumatic life experiences, in order to restore the body to wholeness.
TRE was developed by Dr. David Berceli, a bioenergetic therapist and social worker, who used it successfully worldwide working with soldiers, firefighters, police officers and survivors of war, natural disasters and other traumatic circumstances to help alleviate the many symptoms of post-traumatic stress. TRE is taught in over 60 countries worldwide.
Reported benefits include:
● decreasing anxiety
● releasing chronic tension
● discharging emotional and physical trauma
● increasing energy and flexibility
● improving sleep and mood
● decreasing of aches, pains and symptoms of fibromyalgia and sciatica
This workshop is suitable for all ages and fitness levels as the exercises can be modified to accommodate anybody’s need.
For more information about TRE please visit https://www.TREcalifornia.com. If you have any questions or concerns please contact maria@TREcalifornia.com.
This workshop takes place 11am–1pm Eastern (8–10am Pacific)
This is an online program.

2026-04-15 - 2026-05-31 | Integral Yoga Institute New York, 227 West 13th Street New York, New York, NY, 10011, United States
“Yoga” means “union” in the ancient Sanskrit language. It is a perfect description of the Integral Yoga method which synthesizes the various branches of Yoga into a comprehensive lifestyle system. The six branches of Integral Yoga (Hatha, Raja, Karma, Bhakti, Jnana, and Japa) are powerful tools to encourage wellness and self-mastery. The aim is to promote the harmonious development of every aspect of the individual – the results are subtle, profound, and measurable.
For over 40 years, Integral Yoga’s internationally respected training program has been continually developed and refined to meet the personal and professional Yogic needs of our participants. Rooted in ancient wisdom with a contemporary approach for modern times, we provide a wide reaching foundation for trainees to develop their knowledge and personal practice of Yoga, along with the essential skills for teaching.
