GREETINGS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the Summer comes to an end, we can all

look forward to a few more beautiful sunsets!

Sunsets to me are a metaphor for looking to

new horizons into the future.

 

 

As IYTC continues to take shape in the near

future, I'd like to remind you about

some registration details including the Early

Bird deadline.

 

Another new horizon relates to the

amazing effects of the practice of Yoga when

addressing transitioning through Cancer or

recovering from it. I've included some

details about an important offering in Marin

County - free Yoga for Cancer Classes at the

Marin Bay Club.

 

 

Also, in the Conference Spotlight we profile

of one

of our

international Yoga luminaries - Dr. Ananda

Balayogi Bhananani. The newsletter also

includes some words

of wisdom from the ancient masters.

I hope you enjoy the reading, and look

forward to seeing you at the 2008 IYTC!

CONFERENCE SPOTLIGHT: Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This October marks a monumental occasion for

the world of Yoga in the United States for

this very reason. For the first time ever,

Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani will

present at

an American Yoga

conference. His keynote address at this

year's IYTC will be "Yoga and Modern

Medicine."

 

 

Dr. Ananda's visit has social and educational

significance for the both the Yogic and

medical communities. His father is

Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri Guru

Maharaj, one of the five leading world

authorities on the ancient science of

Ashtanga Yoga in the twentieth century.

 

Often called The Father of Modern Scientific

Yoga," Dr. Giri founded the International

Centre for Yoga Education and Research.

Swamiji was also known as the "Lion of

Pondicherry", for he roared out Wisdom and

laughter.

Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani is

the Chairman of the International Centre for

Yoga Education and Research at the Ananda

Ashram, Pondicherry, South India . A Fellow

of the Indian Academy of Yoga, he has

Dealing with illness brings with it a flurry

of emotions. Learning to live with a

potentially life threatening diagnosis

amplifies these feelings of the frustration,

fear and loneliness that anyone of us might

experience on a daily basis.

 

Hospitals

and health care providers alike are

spending considerable effort to make the

clinical environment more supportive for

patients. People often need

an alternative place, a safe haven where

other people are walking the same path to

wellness.

 

At the Marin Bay Club in Tiburon, CA,

a unique

collaboration between fitness, health care

and Yoga has created a space where cancer

survivors can come together in a united

effort to learn about self-healing. Three

times per week these men and women come to

this class dedicate to exploring the subtle

therapeutic aspects of Yoga.

These very dynamic class is intended to

provide practitioners with tools to better

understand and cope with life with cancer.

Whether the students are going through

treatment or have been cancer free for years,

this class accepts all levels. The format

helps the individual tailor and adapt the

techniques to better serve students'

abilities and needs, emphasizing the

relationship of the physical techniques with

their mental and spiritual correlates. The

goal is to empower those with cancer towards

personal realization.

A one-of-a-kind offering in California, the

classes are free to the students, partially

underwritten by the Cancer Care division

of Sutter Health's Marin General Hospital

and private donations. Donations and

contributions are highly appreciated and tax

deductable so if you are interested please

contact me at antonio.

A CHAPTER FROM THE TIRUKURAL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am happy to share with you some of the

ancient wisdom of wellness. This is an

excerpt chapter from the the

Tirukural, the

"holy couplets" from South Indian Saint

Tiruvalluvar.

 

Chapter 95: Medicine

 

 

Kural 941 Disease is but deficiency or

excess of three life forces, defined by

writers of scientific texts as air, fire and

water.

Kural 942 The body requires no

medicine

if you eat only after the food you have

already eaten is digested.

Kural 943 Once digestion is

complete, eat

with moderation; that is the way to prolong

the life of the body.

Kural 944 Assured the last meal has

digested and sensing a keen appetite, savor

only foods that are fully agreeable.

Kural 945 Life remains unharmed

when one

eats with restraint, refraining from foods

that have proven disagreeable.

Kural 946 The pleasures of health

abide

in the man who eats moderately. The pains

of disease dwell with him who eats excessively.

Kural 947 The thoughtless glutton who

gorges himself beyond the limits of his

digestive fires will be consumed by limitless

ills.

Kural 948 Diagnose the illness,

trace its

cause, seek the appropriate remedy and apply

it skillfully.

Kural 949 An accomplished doctor

prescribes a remedy after considering the

patient's nature, the disease's nature and

the time of year.

Kural 950 Medicine consists of a

patient,

a physician, a prescription and a

nurse--each of these having four parts.
