✨ Swami Sivananda’s Integral Yoga (or Yoga of Synthesis) is a holistic system that combines the four major paths of Yoga to ensure a balanced development of the individual’s “head (knowledge), heart (devotion), hands (action), and nerves (psychic control)”. This approach embodies the concept of a “middle path” by advocating for moderation, balance, and the integration of spiritual practice into all aspects of daily life, rather than pursuing any single, extreme path in isolation.

✨ The “Middle Path” in Sivananda’s Teachings

The “middle path” in Sivananda’s philosophy is not about avoiding commitment, but about maintaining balance, moderation, and constant vigilance to avoid extremes and fanaticism in any single approach.

Moderation: He advocated moderation in all things, including diet, exercise, and work, believing that overindulgence leads to imbalance. For example, he instructed practitioners to perform pranayama (breathing exercises) for as long as it was “comfortable,” emphasizing the balance between sustained effort and avoiding force or violence to the body.

Integration over Specialization: The middle path is the “path of neither/nor” in the sense that one does not exclusively adhere to only action or only devotion, but integrates all aspects. This is in contrast to becoming a specialist in one area at the expense of others.

Practicality in Daily Life: His approach brought yoga from “secret realms of mysticism” into practical, daily life, making it accessible to everyone, from a postman to a businessman. This practical application, spiritualizing daily activities, is in itself a middle way between extreme asceticism and purely worldly life

Cacao, Movement & Support

Fridat, November 21
6:30–9:00 PM
Humm Studio, Beirut

In times like these, when so much feels chaotic, how do we navigate this uncertainty?
Where do we find grounding, connection, support?

We’ll begin with a cacao circle to ground and open ourselves gently to what’s here. Then we’ll move together through practices inspired by Dance Movement Therapy; a space to feel, release and reconnect, while exploring how we find support.

✨Come as you are. No dance experience needed.

🪔 Diwali, the Festival of Lights, symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

✨

During Diwali, several divinities are invoked, each representing a unique aspect of light, prosperity, and renewal:

💛 Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, abundance, and prosperity. Her presence is invoked to bless homes and businesses with fortune and well-being.

🔥 Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and bringer of wisdom and good beginnings. He is worshipped alongside Lakshmi to ensure success and harmony in all endeavors.

🌕 Lord Rama, in many traditions, Diwali marks his return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.

🌸 Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom, learning, and creativity, invoked for clarity and inspiration in the year ahead.

💫 In some regions, people also honor Kali or Krishna, depending on local traditions, both embodying the destruction of ignorance and darkness.

✨

Let’s celebrate renewal, share joy, and welcome prosperity and hope into our lives.
