YOGA NOW

Healing Hatha Yoga classes, monthly events, and annual Yoga Certification since 1983. You don’t have to flexible or skinny or pretend to have it all together.

You don’t have to wear expensive yoga pants. You don’t have to know all the fancy yoga words. You just have to show up. Show up exactly as you are. Show up for yourself… so you can show up for others. You deserve a heart-centered, relaxing and restorative practice. You deserve a chance to gently
quiet your overactive mind, calm your overworked nervous system, and cultivate a bit more inner peace. All welcome. Always. �

Yoga is that which stills our mind, calms our body, nurtures our energy, so we remember our spirit, and in that remembering, recognize our innate sacredness.

These are the Yoga Marga — the four paths of yoga. Jñana, Bhakti, Karma, and Raja Yoga. Notice how asana (postures) are only one facet of one of these paths. There are so many different ways we can bring the mind to stillness, the body to responsiveness rather than reactivity, reclaim and root our energy, and realize / recall our inherent joy.

Many yoga students, myself included, find that a combination of these paths supports them in their yoga sadhana. Some enjoy them all throughout their day / path / life.

Lately I have been releasing the structured raja path for integrating more loving presence and service with my family in Karma yoga.
Appreciating the sacredness of my partner, children, dog, and plants has been some of the most profound teachings of Bhakti yoga for me.
The power of noticing and understanding patterns within myself and the world around me has shifted the way I approach everything thanks to Jñana yoga.

How are you enjoying yoga in your life these days?
In what ways is yoga supporting you?

Chant along with me, if you’d like:

“
May we be protected.
May we be nourished with truth.
May we make effort in building the capacity for truth to be revealed.
May what we learn be brilliantly clear.
Let us not have any misunderstanding or resentment.
Let us be free from three possible obstacles:
• the forces over which we have no control, adhidaivika
• the beings around us, adhibhautika
• and the factors centred on ourselves, adhyatmika
“

This mantra is from Taittiriya, Katha Upanishad and Shvetashvatara Upanishads and is the first thing we learn in our yoga center as students of our certification program. Its chanted at the beginning and end of each weekend together and has stuck with me in my heart and bones ever since.

As with all mantra, it is powerful pranayama, and can be applied to anything we consider a teacher in our life on our path. In these times we have plenty to pay attention to and continually learn with. May this prayer be lifted up and lift us up in our learning.

🙏

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः

Dear Friends,

Our beloved friend and teacher, Rolf Sovik, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 29th.

A student and teacher in the Himalayan Tradition for more than 50 years, Rolf touched the lives of thousands with his warmth, clarity, and compassion. To be in Rolf’s presence was to feel an immediate sense of calm.

Rolf met his teacher, Swami Rama, in 1973. In the ensuing years, Swamiji taught him to meditate and opened the way for trips to India, Nepal, and Tibet, which provided opportunities to learn more about meditative traditions. Rolf soon began teaching at the Himalayan Institute, and later, with Swamiji’s encouragement, returned to graduate school for doctoral studies in psychology. Rolf held degrees in philosophy, music, Eastern studies, and clinical psychology.

Rolf’s life was one of service. In 1991, Rolf and his wife, Mary Gail, became co-directors of the Himalayan Institute of Buffalo. For the next 20 years, Rolf taught regular hatha yoga, meditation, and philosophy classes around the world. During this time, he also served as the Spiritual Director for the Himalayan Institute, and continued exploring the teachings of the Himalayan Tradition under the guidance of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait. In 2012, Rolf and Mary Gail relocated to the Institute’s headquarters in Honesdale, where Rolf served as President for 10 years.

Rolf was a gifted lecturer and writer. When expounding on the Yoga Sutra or exploring lessons from his favorite text, the Bhagavad Gita, he inspired students and teachers to refine and expand their personal practice. He is the author of Moving Inward and co-author of Yoga: Mastering the Basics as well as a regular contributor to Yoga International magazine and to the Himalayan Institute's educational platform, HI Online.

The Himalayan Institute is grateful for Rolf’s life of selfless service. He performed his actions skillfully, selflessly, and with love. Rolf’s legacy will live on in his body of work and in the minds and hearts of his students, friends, and loved ones.

The Institute anticipates holding a memorial gathering at its Honesdale Retreat Center later this spring. When details are available, we will share them with our community.

With love and gratitude,
The Faculty, Staff, and Community of the Himalayan Institute

the forces moving to bind us count on our instability + separation

when we stay centered, humble, and connected to our power

we remain grounded, nurtured, capable, and unpredictable

when we tend to our trauma that would terrify and tremble us
body mind and spirit

we reclaim our agency to moderate the unfolding of our mind

this is the practice of yoga

nourishing a relationship of resistance to separation and suffering
within us
and around us

may we remain diligent in our practice
may we regain sincerity in our play
may we remember that to rise, first we must root embody + stabilize

🌊 ✨

may we learn to protect our inner calm
our joyful steadiness
our easeful steadfastness
as we endeavor to shine our inner light outward
into the dark tumultuous waters
we are navigating together

may we remember yoga is a liberation practice
a revolution of the heart meeting its sacred nature again and again
as we come back to ourselves in each moment
in silence, silliness, sorrow, surprise, steadfastness, sincerity, and simplicity

again and again we return
again and again remember

no judgement or shame
just joy and gratitude

🙏 xoxo

bhagavad gita 6.29
The true yogis, uniting their consciousness with sacredness, see with equal eye all living beings in sacredness and sacredness in all living beings.

bg 3.4
One cannot reach freedom by merely avoiding action, nor can one attain perfection by mere renunciation.

When we see all living beings within our selves and our selves in all living beings

AND we allow this to inform our choices and ACTIONS

we create inner freedom for all our freedom
