Description
The style, structure and format of Swamiji’s presentation was ‘very down to earth and engaging, information was presented in ‘an informal, relaxed and accessible way.’”
This program will include presentations, discussion and yoga practices. It is suitable for those new to yoga and experienced practitioners.
During this program, Swami Ramananda will share his four decades of experience in Yoga and his particular focus on applying yogic practices and understandings as tools for stress management in every day living.
The deep wisdom that Yoga brings to human stress and suffering helps us understand that stress begins in the mind, with how we interpret events.
The practices we will explore together, done regularly, even for a short time daily, can create a deeply rooted sense of inner steadiness that enables us to withstand life’s frequent trials. As we cultivate internal steadiness, we also develop the present moment awareness needed to make conscious choices when crises arise, instead of reacting compulsively in ways we later regret. Regular practice equips us with tools that help us keep our balance, reflect with clarity and think creatively.
During this program, we will:
- Explore the physiology of stress and the fight or flight response from the medical and yogic perspectives
- Learn and practice mindful stretching, relaxation, deep breathing and meditation techniques that can quickly interrupt the cycle of overstimulation and restore physical and mental balance
- Look at ways of thinking that cause stress, and how we can use constructive and deliberate thinking to counteract stressful thought patterns and help us sustain a clear positive mindset
- Formulate a fun, sustainable and personalised take-home plan for ongoing stress management with Yoga
Join us to experience just how powerful an antidote Yoga is to stress, and how we really do have the option to live from a deep inner centre of steadiness, peace and joy
