Integral Yoga Center of Richmond - YogaHelps

Integral Yoga Center of Richmond - YogaHelps The Richmond IY TT was created in 1999, and its last training ended on April 2020. It was registered with the Yoga Alliance as an approved 200Hr program.

The school offered teacher trainings onsite at different facilities that occupied over the years. YogaHelps Studio is the new Yoga Studio (former Integral Yoga Center of Richmond), after dissociating itself for it, to continue offering our community the Essential Yoga Teachings based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The past history of IYoR: Founded by Shanti Norris and Prahaladan Mandelkorn in the early 80's, the IYC was one of the first yoga centers in Richmond. Nora Vimala Pozzi, E-RYT500, PRYT, served as its director from 1992 until 2022. In 1999 it offered its first IY Teacher Training Program in Richmond recognized by the Yoga Alliance. The last Teacher Training was offered in October 2019-April 2020. The center closed during Covid, but continued offering classes online, until it re-opened transitioning into its new version, the YogaHelps Studio. One of the main goals of Richmond IYC has been not just to teach yoga classes or train yoga teachers, but to bring awareness and educate the general public about the benefits of yoga -physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as the yoga philosophy and ethics that are the essence of this science. It also strives to bring awareness to the healing power of yoga as a yoga therapy modality, both preventive and therapeutic. The most important aspect has been to learn how to apply the yoga teachings to daily life in order to reduce stress and experience more peace. Integral Yoga is based on the Six (6) Branches of Yoga as follows:

Hatha Yoga Focuses on the physical aspects through asanas (postures), pranayama (breath control), yogic diet, and deep relaxation. Raja Yoga Balance and control of the mind through ethical practices, concentration and meditation. Bhakti Yoga The path of devotion and love. Karma Yoga The path of action and selfless service. Serving without attachment to the fruits of the action. Jnana Yoga The intellectual approach. Through the knowledge of that is, what is not changeable. Japa Yoga Japa means repetition of a mantram – a sound structure of one or more syllables which represents a particular aspect of the Divine Vibration.

I honor him and his teachings by sharing them with all my students on a weekly basis, year after year. I also honor him by practicing the Integral Yoga Teachings that are essentially based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. I love those teachings because they have helped me to address so many challenges in my life, as well as use them to help heal so many people I serve.
Om shanti, peace, Nora Vimala Pozzi

Dear Friends, YOU ARE INVITED!

Biggest FUNDRAISING Event of the year for YOGAVILLE, my spiritual home and family.

JOIN ME on THURSDAY DECEMBER 10, at 9am or 12pm, for a virtual journey into Yogaville's life and people, whose title is:

"TRANSFORMATION, Changing Lives, Inspiring Hope".

You can reflect upon how Integral Yoga or Yogaville has contributed in some way to TRANSFORM YOUR OWN LIFE. You can share it under "comments" to inspire others.

I know it TRANSFORMED my life in so many ways. Here are a few examples:

#1. Contributing to extending Carlos' (my former late husband) life more than 30 years, and improving his quality of life, after we arrived to USA from Argentina for a kidney transplant which saved his life. He became the first INTEGRAL YOGA Teacher of our family in 1983. My son Julian, followed at age 15, and then in 1992, unexpectedly and surprisingly, I become an INTEGRAL YOGA Teacher too, to share the teachings and help to transform so many of my students' lives as well.

#2. Transforming my life from 25 year of an architectural career to becoming an INTEGRAL YOGA Teacher, Trainer, Yoga Therapist and Integral Yoga Minister. INTEGRAL YOGA offered me the tools to serve and find meaning in my work, as only very few things in my life have done it for me.

#3. The INTEGRAL YOGA Teacher Training for People with Cancer, was yet another opportunity to serve those of my students who were in Cancer Treatment and supporting them in their Healing Journey.

4. INTEGRAL YOGA opened a new world for me, a new window to see the world through, where PEACE and JOY could be experienced in one's lifetime, where connection and mutual understanding with each other was not only possible but feasible.

I have deep GRATITUDE to Sri Swami Satchidananda, his senior disciples, my teachers and trainers, my Yogaville family and my students. His vision for Peace in the World, finding Unity in Diversity, manifested in the LOTUS, The Light of Truth Universal Shrine (in Yogaville), is one of the most incredible sights to behold and experience in my lifetime.

I INVITE you to Click the LINK below and see you on THURSDAY!

Om shanti, peace, Nora Vimala Pozzi, MA, E-RYT500, C-IAYT
