****************************************

Commentaries on Living (First Series), J Krishnamurti Krishnamurti’s essential message is that, to find truth, we must go beyond the limits of ordinary thought. In public talks worldwide, he strove to free listeners from conventional beliefs and psychological mind-sets in order to understand what is. In the first volume Krishnamurti discusses many topics, including knowledge, belief, simplicity of the heart, love in relationship, ambition, and clarity in action.

****************************************

Jiddu Krishnamurti was an Indian philosopher, speaker and writer. In his early life he was groomed to be the new World Teacher but later rejected this mantle and withdrew from the Theosophy organization behind it

Monthly Yoga Nidra Meditation with Willow Marcotte

Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that involves body sensing, breath awareness along with intention setting. In this full-body relaxation and deep meditative state, experience a profound sense of joy, peacefulness and well-being.

This meditation will take you to a place between being awake and asleep where ultimate relaxation resides to deeply connect with your inner world. Clinical research finds that Yoga Nidra can improve sleep, aide in managing chronic pain, assist in healing from trauma and balances the nervous system.

You will leave this practice feeling refreshed and renewed. No yoga experience required.

A write up of our upcoming May guest teachers when visit The Association of Yoga Studies in Nottinghamshire, UK. 💛

Ravi Shankar and Sheela Shankar from India are both long-time yoga scholars trained directly by Desikachar and Sheela is an accomplished classical Indian singer. They shared the most beautiful and subtle approach to yoga practice through sound, song, chant and ancient Vedic poetry.
