Carried by a Promise

Van­cou­ver yogi­nis and yogis were happy to wel­come Swami Rad­hananda and Swami Lal­i­tananda here on Octo­ber 22 & 23. There was a great turn out for both work­shops — an encour­ag­ing mix­ture of long time teach­ers, many trav­el­ing from Van­cou­ver Island for the week­end; a group of stu­dents new to RADHA who wanted to go deeper and expand their expe­ri­ence and under­stand­ing of our teach­ings; and a num­ber of long time RADHA stu­dents tak­ing the oppor­tu­nity to once again con­nect with their own inner wisdom. .

Swami Lal­i­tananda invited stu­dents to enter into the Inner Life of Asanas and lis­ten to the intel­li­gence of the body in a day of breath, relax­ation and lis­ten­ing to the mes­sages of the yoga asanas. There was lots of space to explore and expe­ri­ence the feel­ing of joy that was emerg­ing by the end of the day.

Swami Rad­hananda helped us to light up our lives as we focused and con­cen­trated on the Divine Light Invo­ca­tion, expe­ri­enc­ing the power of breath, ten­sion, relax­ation and our abil­ity to imag­ine the Light. As the day pro­gressed we moved more fully into an expe­ri­ence of Light that revealed and sus­tained and showed how we can con­tin­u­ally bring this beau­ti­ful prac­tice into daily life.

It was a ful­fill­ing time together — a time to con­nect with old friends and new and to know the feel­ing of com­mu­nity that arises when we prac­tice together.
