Change Your Life! Yogic Tools for Transformation

  • Ananda Palo Alto 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA, 94306 United States (map)

Saturday, 10am - 1pm

There is a fire inside each of us, constantly pushing us to be bigger, better, stronger–more. However, when our consciousness focuses outward on worldly accomplishments, we think that means more money, a bigger house, and more people around us to love us.

The science of Yoga teaches us that everything in the material world has its limits, but that within us exists an inexhaustible reservoir of creativity, peace and joy. It is possible to learn techniques to improve our life, to better our relationships, or to achieve our dream job, but these goals merely skim the surface of what real, inner-transformation is.

Transformation is about experiencing something greater than what our senses can perceive–it is opening to new portals of possibility within our minds, where our very sense of self is expanded.

In this morning seminar we will explore the potential of the human spirit for true and lasting inner-transformation. Through lecture, discussion and hands-on experience, we will put into practice tools and techniques of the Yogic science of transformation and take the first step toward changing our lives.

Are you ready? Transformation awaits you.
