iHanuman Newsletter June 2009
Happy Summer Solstice! Just as we asked you to invoke the goddess last month, the longest day of year begs us to inspire the fire inside that is masculine energy. Yang energy is strong, aggressive and passionate. It is the fiery energy of summer. Spiritually, we can practice tapas or discipline, austerity and consistency. Burn [...]

Renewal
Spring is the natural time for restoration and renewal. After a season of drawing the energy inward, it is time to undo the stagnation and accumulation of ama (stagnation of toxic particles that clog our energy channels) that has occurred over winter. I just returned from an amazing 3 days at Prama Institute, Marshall, NC [...]

Is Yoga a Religion?
This is a question I have been getting more and more of lately, so I think I will write a bit… Yoga is technically a science, specific formulas as how to become closer to God. It comes from a culture heavily steeped in the Hindu Religion, and so there is some overlap. However, because it [...]

Mother’s Day

But there are some bigger feeling events happening that challenge [...]

The Deeper Pull
Finding “the deeper pull of what you truly love” is the underbelly of what I teach. A lot of people might think it is self-indulgent to follow our passion, to work when we want to work, to rest when we need rest.

Just Breathe
Breathing In, it’s the very first act of life outside of the womb. Breathing Out, it’s the very last thing we do before we die. In-between that first in-breath and final out-breath are millions of opportunities to remember this powerful energy. The yogis call it Prana: that which is everywhere, connecting us all; and on [...]

Gratefulness
During the time I write this, it is Thanksgiving, a time of thankfulness. I don’t think we stop enough to remember how blessed we are. We (assuming this email goes out to residents of the US) are so privileged, it is really amazing. We have access to clean water, food anytime anywhere, I cannot remember [...]
