Learn to fly with Raghunath
Dates: Sun 12/13/2009 and 12/20/2009
Time: 2.00 pm - 4.00 pm
Raghunath can take an ordinary space and turn it into an ashram. "i walk out of the room and into the subway singing!" one of his students comments. This is why 75% of the students in his advanced classes are yoga teachers themselves. Although a very physical if not extremely acrobatic class, you walk out of the door not as if you've been to a gym working out, but in fact touched spiritually and emotionally. Raghuweaves in his 20 plus years of practicing and living like a yogi to demonstrate " the yogi's paradigm of reality". Raghu's gift is to take the esoteric yoga philosophy of ancient India, which he studied for 6 and a half years in an ashram as a celibate bramachari (monk), and make it acessable and practical for the contemporary world. This he does eloquently with enthusiasm, humor, song and passionate devotion. Thus even though some may come for flexibility, strength building and stamina -which are the staples and rewards of his classes - one gets hooked on the more subtle aspects of yogic healing: the calming of the mind and awakening of our dormant spirit selves.
