New Sequences, New Teachers, New Free Live & Recorded Yoga Classes & Membership Definitely Has It's Benefits

Jen Kagan in Upavistha Konasana

We are all feeling the pain of being apart right now, even though many of us are blessed with the ability to teach and participate in our classes online. It is a very different world and it looks like it has the potential to remain in this evolved state into the foreseeable future. I don’t have a crystal ball but I do not think we are going back to where we were. The yoga studio where I teach has already decided that we will be online at least through the end of August. It is certainly unsettling AND it is giving us an opportunity to change, to innovate, and to get out of a rut.

When we started iHanuman over a decade ago, one of the main reasons we created this service was because we live remotely and wanted access (for us and others) to teachers around the world. I have been encouraging teachers to record their classes for some time and now look at what is happening? EVERYONE is teaching online because we have to adapt. We would have never innovated this way without a push in this direction.

There are so many aspects to this time that are actually encouraging. We are seeing air and water pollution levels return to “normal” after only a few weeks. I shared a link recently where tour operators and conservationists in Australia are taking this time to restore coral reef populations on the Great Barrier Reef! We are becoming more keenly aware of what is truly important, what we actually need not only to survive but to thrive. We have slowed down to a point where we can think more clearly and appreciate the world around us. My husband and I have delighted in watching each bud turn into a flower. We have committed to expanding our garden and growing our own food.

It appears that if we remain vigilant and listen to the recommendations from the scientists & doctors to wear masks and stay social at a distance, most of us will survive this pandemic. And we will undoubtedly be better prepared for the next one. This is our chance to learn, innovate and prepare ourselves as best we can for the unknown of what lies ahead. We are so blessed to have access to the skills to observe and discern through our yoga practice. It is comforting to practice being present with what is in each moment. What is true for you right now? What actions can you take given the truth of your current situation?

We are here for you, as always, and would like to point you in the direction of some new, some free and some ongoing classes in our library to help you remain grounded during this time.
