Next Tuesday, May 21, 2013, from 7pm to 8:30pm, Yoga Phoenix is hosting a special meditation event: Chakra Balancing and Clearing with Sa Re Sa Sa by two senior teachers of our community, Ardas Kaur and Sadhana Kaur. 

What to expect at this event?

            Participants will do some light yoga to prepare the body and mind for meditation, follow by 31 minutes of meditation. If anyone would like to join in this special meditation but is unable to sit on the floor for a long period of time, you can sit on a chair which we can provide for you. After the meditation, participants will lie down on the floor and relax to the healing sound of the gong.  

 

Why should you be here? 

Powerful clearing

            According to Ardas Kaur, this mantra opens the chakras for the full effect of any other mantra

 “This is the base mantra of all mantras. Adversity melts before this mantra. It gives you the capacity of effective communication so your words contain mastery and impact. This mantra helps you conquer the wisdom of the past, present, and future. It brings you peace and prosperity even if it wasn’t in your destiny.”(The Aquarian Teacher, p.86)

            This meditation will put you in a peaceful, sacred space, help you find the light within you and overcome the challenges of life. 

Wonderful teachers

I met Sadhana Kaur and Ardas Kaur in the fall of 2010. As a matter of fact, Sadhana Kaur is my very first Kundalini Yoga teacher and also the one who got me hooked to this fantastic ancient yogic technology!

What can I tell you about these wonderful ladies? They are both excellent teachers with many years of experience in teaching Kundalini Yoga. They both love dogs and nature. They are both reiki healers. They also play really awesome gong! Most of all, what makes them good teachers is that they always teach from the heart-center. These ladies teach Kundalini Yoga because they care. They care about the people around them, the people in the community, and the world. These teachers have a lot of love, wisdom, and healing to offer to everyone.

Ardas Kaur and Sadhana Kaur are truly the Aquarian teachers of our time! Under their guidance, I am certain participants in this event will have a profound experience.  

Be part of a community

            One of the reasons why Ardas Kaur and Sadhana Kaur are presenting this special meditation event is to build a community of meditators.

            Sometimes the world seems to be a hostile place, and people are getting weary of the obstacles in life, people tend to think that they are all alone in this world. That is not true. We always have a choice and nobody has to face his or her problems alone. That is what this meditation event is about. If we join our voices together, we can generate so much energy and the power of clearing is even stronger! Together we can use our energy to attract good things into our lives, heal ourselves and even help the world around us!

            So come meditate, be part of a community, and experience the power of a group!

“Just see how powerful a mantra can be. All the stars and the Universe are very powerful, I am not disagreeing with the powers. But, by chanting a mantra, just see how powerful you can be.”

What to Expect at the Kids Yoga Festival

 

     Yoga Phoenix is proud to be hosting a Kids Yoga Festival: Kids Shining Their Beacons of Light this Saturday, May 18, 2013. There are so many benefits that children could gain from doing Kundalini Yoga (follow this link to read about the benefits) and this festival is a perfect opportunity for parents and kids who have never done Kundalini Yoga before to come and get a taste of what a kids yoga class is like. 

     So what should parents and kids expect at the Kids Yoga Festival? Lots of fun activities! Here are some yogic exercises and activities that we are offering this coming Saturday: 

- Countryside Yoga Bicycle Tour: Go on an imaginary bicycle tour through the countryside where kids will encounter many farm animals. Expect to get into yoga poses that imitate all kinds of animals. 

- Yoga Train Tunnel and Gong: In this exercise kids will line up in Triangle pose to form the tunnel and then take turns to crawl through the tunnel. They will get into Triangle pose again once out of the other end of the tunnel. After a vigorous workout, kids get to lie down and relax to the sound of the gong.

- Beanie Babies Belly Breathing: A fun way to learn how to breath long and deep through the belly using cute and cuddly Beanie Babies. Long deep breathing is a great technique that every kid should learn because it can help to lower stress, manage emotions and help the body to heal.

- Peaceful Piggy Meditation Story Time: Come listen to a story book about finding the peace within through meditation. After story time, participants can choose to craft their own portable meditation rock garden. 

- Sacred Space Crafting: Create a portable meditation rock garden to remind you to go inside your self to find peace. This activity also combines crafting and meditation in one. We will chant for peace while creating this rock garden.

- Mommy and Me: Parents will learn some yogic exercises that they can do with their little ones at home! It is fun for parents and children to exercise together, it also helps to build closeness in their relationship. 

- Crafts: We will have some fun time crafting with yarn, beeswax, and many more!

     Please join us for this family fun event this Saturday, May 18, from 10:00am to 12:30pm. Each activity is $1, or $5 for ALL of them. No entry fee! We look forward to see many shining happy faces, and we will be happy to answer all the questions you have about kids yoga!

Give Your Chidren The Gift of Kundalini Yoga

    

     Sometimes the world just seems like a scary place. We are constantly bombarded by news report on shootings, wars, and natural disaster, and sometimes it is hard to keep this information from affecting our children. In addition to that, our children also experience stress from school, tests, friends, and even at home! What can we adults do to help our children to understand that the world isn’t a dark and scary place?  

     You teach them that there’s still light, goodness and hope in this world, they just have to look inside themselves.  Teach your kids to reach inside themselves to find the light and calmness that is the answer to the chaos in the world. Teach them how to breathe properly to reduce stress. Teach them how to meditate to remain steady in a world that’s constantly changing at an insanely fast pace. Let your children do Kundalini Yoga. 

     There are so many good reasons why you should let your kids do Kundalini Yoga:

-    Kundalini Yoga can help a child to build strength and stamina.

-    Kundalini Yoga increases one’s flexibility.

-    Kundalini Yoga teaches them how to handle stress the natural way (through breath, yogic exercises and meditation) instead of relying on food, toys, video games…etc to feel better.

-    Kundalini Yoga can build a child's confidence.

-    Kundalini Yoga can enhance brain function and improves memory.

-    And most of all, Kundalini Yoga teaches kids to be the light that is inside themselves and SHINE! 

     Children are the hope for the future. Dear parents, please help your children to be the light, give them the gift of Kundalini Yoga!
