Jivamukti master class
Jivamukti Master Class With Lady Ruth
This asana class with an emphasis on alignment, breathing and slow, mindful transitions will include a small discussion on yoga philosophy, chanting and meditation and is open and welcoming to all levels.
About Ruth
I started practicing yoga at 20 after a serious car accident, to regain physical health, not understanding what I was getting into. I took an immediate interest in it as it felt strangely familiar yet cosmic and unlike anything experienced before. Soon after I went to India to take part in the Sivananda Yoga Teachers Training course and afterwards met Sharon Gannon and David Life. From that first meeting I knew that they would have a momentous impact on my life, and I became a student and later a teacher of Jivamukti Yoga. I have facilitated many of The Teachers Training Courses. I have made many trips to India, my home away from home, to immerse myself in the multi layered culture and origins of yoga. I have been extremely blessed to study with Sri K Pattabhi Jois and his family, Professor HV Rao, Padma Ananta Swamy, Dr. Gurudath and family, Ma Bhaskarananda, Dr. M. A. Jayashree , Sharon Gannon and David Life. The presence of these teachers in my life, the practices they have given me, and the students who have allowed me to serve as a teacher and shown interest have given me a way of life I am forever grateful for.
I am the author of An Offering of Leaves, Sweeping the Dust, Fell in Her Hands -having to do with yoga philosophy and one fine art photography book I Imagined It Empty.

Shanti Mantras for world Peace with Nina Rao
Shanti Mantras for world peace with Nina Rao
Mid-Week Practice in Newburgh, Newburgh NY
August 6 @ 7pm Newburgh Yoga Shala
Online and In-Person
Let's bring our hearts in community together in practice and sharing. Most of us have chanted the words 'Śanti or Shanti' either in the yoga class or in a kirtan event. Let's take some time to talk a little about the levels where we can experience and offer 'Peace'.
We'll learn and chant one shanti mantra in veda tradition and also sing the well-known 'lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu' mantra together. Once you register, you will receive a pdf with the words that we will be chanting.
In a world where it's hard to know what efforts we can make to ease suffering, coming together in prayer is a good place to be. If you would like to bring with you a note with a deep wish for anyone close to you or for the world, we will offer it at the altar.
I will donate the proceeds of this event to World Central Kitchen
Taking Refuge In Practice
Taking refuge in practice: an evening of self-care & community with Alex Tse, Amy Fraher and Bibi Lorenzetti at Newburgh Yoga Shala
Trauma informed teaching: How to create more inclusive and safer spaces
Trauma informed teaching: How to create more inclusive and safer spaces.
With Masha Schmidt
‘Trauma informed yoga’ is a popular phrase, but what exactly does it mean for us as teachers and students? What types of training and support can we put in place for ourselves to become more informed? As individuals, how can we mitigate systemic cultures of harm?
In this workshop, Masha will offer her experience as a teacher and practitioner to define ‘trauma informed care’, and the ethics of that phrase. Our time together will include:
Creating a ‘brave space’ vs a ‘safe space’
Boundaries, Consent, and Scope of Practice in Yoga
How to cultivate more inclusive spaces and how to repair unintentional harm
This workshop is for anyone that truly wants to create the safest spaces for the most people. Please come with the willingness to explore cultures of harm and the intention to find strength in vulnerability. We will create a brave space together.
Recipe Gardening workshop

The Devatas with Nina Rao
The Devatas with Nina Rao
Growing up, Nina was surrounded by the visual forms of the divine beings as well as hearing the names of these divine beings. These divine beings are devatas, and there are almost an infinite number in the Indian tradition. We first hear of the devatas in the vedas where every mantra invokes a specific devata by the sacred sound of the Name. The devatas are forms of cosmic forces that make up our environment, our body, our minds – our entire being – our true nature.
Chanting these mantras aligns us with the devatas, generating harmony all around. As time went on, the spiritual texts expanded into the puranas and itihasas, including the great sacred tales of Ramayana, Mahabharata, Devi Bhagavatam, Shiva Puranas and so many more. The visual images and legendary stories come from here and are the fabric of everyday life in India and many parts of south Asia.
Nina will share her journey with some of these devatas alongside her time with her guru as a manifestation of these devatas on this plane.

What is Bhakti Yoga
An intimate evening with Nina Rao
Each of us arrives into this community of seekers in our own individual way. We are on a Path into our own hearts and along the way we want to develop a practice that resonates so that we can stay with it and receive the benefits.
As we go deeper, it is helpful to turn toward the roots of our practices and understand more about the 'yoga of devotion'. Nina is a seeker and chanter and she will share about ‘Bhakti’, a word often heard in yoga circles, and how it defines our practice. We will also sing and chant together. NinaRaoChant.com
