Every Monday

Listening - allowing - unfolding - celebrating - offering

Everyone can dance regardless age, sex, size, flexibility…!

Offering a space to explore our own unique movement, improvisation and contact with others… Together we create the freedom and possibility to simply be in the stillness of the moment and allowing each person to be spontaneously moved by an inner pull; the music or perhaps inspired by a movement of another body. Dancing a wave, discovering on our own and as a group. Moving towards an empowered, radiating stillness.

Dariya who has been living and growing in Auroville for the past 20 year, enjoys holding space for individuals and groups to explore and expand on land and in the water. She has trained in variety of body-mind-spirit modalities.

WELCOME (back) to DANCE OFFERING

From very long time back people gathered to honour life's cycles and each other through movement & dance and exlpored communication and connection through the language of the bodies! In intense times like these, practises like this are more needed than ever!

Everyone can dance, all you need is a body, comfortable clothes and willingness to get a little sweaty!

This is a unique space for ALL you dance and movement lovers, no matter what practise of movement you already have or do not have, no matter of experiences, come and discover the moving part of your being and let it express itself uniquely, authentically, by listening deeper inward and listening to the space around, by moving on your own or together with others...

In this amazing space we co-create and the beauty is in the diversity of those that keep gathering; adults of all ages and occasionally children who are able to blend in without talking, people with a lot of experiences, as well as those new or more shy to dance in the open, people that come regularly or those that pass by just once, find their way to explore childlike, yet sincere and present, contributing to the intricate mandala of the whole!

You are welcome with everything you are; if you come tired, you don't even have to get up from the floor, yet you might. If you come charged after a challenging day, you can discover ways how to move the energy and let it flow, if life has been wonderful come and share the joy through movement.....there is nothing you have to do, yet being true to the moment is encouraged.

From a clear intention, with minimal guidance, magic and hightened space of aliveness & awareness take place; from stillness, through contemplation, authentic movement and contact improvisation, towards radiating empowered stillness.

We come to LISTEN to what is - to ALLOW arise what is ready to surface - to UNFOLD in our very uhnique ways - to CELEBRATE (or mourn) the miracle of being alive - and to OFFER the fruits of our practises for the benefits of ALL

Thank you for coming a few minutes early, so we can start together on time !

( A unique individual and community building practise that emerged and unfolded here in Auroville over past 18 years! )

Hatha Yoga in Sivanada style with Nausheen. The practise is open to all -beginners and advanced students. Sequence is of pranayama, surya namaskars and 12 posture practise followed by relaxation. This sequence is to ground and establish a relaxation within the body so the energies are harmonised. Monday and Thursday 7 to 8 15 am at Creativity Hall of Light. Contact 9487833736

Every Monday and Wednesday - 5 to 6.15 pm

"The practice guides the student to a tension-free state of radiant health achieved  through the postures (Asanas), breathing (Pranayama), Meditation (Dhyana), Concentration (Dharana), activation of the energetic centers (Chakras), and Relaxation techniques.

As a result, the flow of Prana (Vital Life Force) is unblocked 

throughout the Nadis (energy meridians). Balance is restored in the physical, mental, emotional, intuitive and psychic being.

Through constant practice contentment (santōṣḥ), ecuanimity (śamatha), conscious health, connection and well-being will be established in daily life"

Ashtanga  Yoga

All students commence their instruction in the same manner in which on the first day of class they are taught Surya Namaskar A, followed by Padmasana and deep breathing, and a few minutes of rest to conclude their first day of practice. The next day after Surya Namaskar A has been performed, Surya Namaskar B is taught, and one then again concludes in the same method as the previous day, with Padmasana, deep breathing, and rest. After both of the Surya Namaskar have been learned correctly, each of the various asanas are added one by one. When one asana is correct, the next one is taught. Depending on the age and ability of the student, it can take anywhere upwards of 3 months to learn the primary series.

 From Monday to Friday: the format of the practice always remains the same; one always begins practice on his own with Surya Namaskar, concludes with Padmasana and rest, and the various asanas gradually fill the space between these two poles It is through the daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga that we draw it into ourselves, understand it.
On Saturdays, group guided classes are taught, in which all the vinyasas are counted out loud and all students follow along together accordingly

Christine was born in France in 1967. After completing her studies as Nurse in 1988, she started working as a nurse and soon started

 travelling in India seeking “for the truth” through pilgrims around Rishikesh

A few years later with the financial support of sponsors she  crossed  The Himalays with horses from Kathmandu to Srinagar for 8 month, later on, she followed the Mekong river from his stream in Tibet ( Xining- Kham) though South east of Tibet, Yunnan, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodge.

In 1995 She created Orient explorers a tourism and travelling association and worked within until 2002. She came across Vipassana meditation  and decided to settle in Auroville in 2002,  an intentional spiritual community located in South India.

In 2004, after two years studying  Hatha Yoga and Yengar, she discovered  Ashtanga Yoga  and started to  study with Monica Marinoni until 2016 and  since 2007  under the guidance of Sri Sharath Jois  (Sri K. Pattabhi Jois’grandson)  at the Krishna Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India.
In 2010 she opened “ Yoga et Bien-etre”, where she was teaching for 4 years, running Hatha Yoga class evenings  and daily Mysore style program in the mornings. And the last year, she started to offer workshops on Yoga and meditation including Satsang about Yoga sutra, relaxation and pranayama.
For 13 years she studied the yoga through her own daily practise and teaching, the mind through regular and repetitive meditation retreats, she gave importance to the sadhana, she learned more about the body through her training and experience in Thai yoga massage and about the mind through her training and practise in NLP (sessions, workshop) .   

With deep gratitude and respect she shares the primary series teachings as she has been taught by Monica Marinoni and Sri Sharath Jois.

As India and students worldwide celebrate the centenary of Yogacharya BKS Iyengar on 14th Dec, we are fortunate to have senior Iyengar yoga teacher Rajiv Chanchani offer these classes in Auroville. 

Rajiv started studying with Shri Iyengar, fondly known as Guruji to his students, in 1977. Ever since, Rajiv has been attending classes at the RIMYI , Pune for several months each year. For many years, he and his wife Swati taught yoga in several premier schools and institutions in India and overseas. In 1995, they authored the pioneering book, Yoga for Children.  With Guruji's blessings, Swati and Rajiv established the Yog-ganga Centre for Yoga Studies, in Mussoorie in 1988. In 2002, this centre moved to a purpose built studio in the foothills of Dehradun (http://www.yog-ganga.com), where they conduct regular classes and intensives.

Gurdjieff movements, also known as “sacred dances” are a powerful tool for inner and outer awareness. The practice makes it possible to become free of the automatism and habits of our body, emotions and mind. By moving differently than we usually do, we experience new qualities of energy and meet ourselves in new ways.

PICTURES  OF  SRI  AUROBINDO’S  POEMS – Part 2 

A meditative film by Manohar illustrated with paintings by Huta. The poems are read by Huta and accompanied with music by Sunil.

Huta said about this work that she did the paintings according to Mother’s inspiration and instructions, and added: “In fact, from time to time she corrected my paintings and never forgot to explain to me in detail the colour scheme.” The Mother saw all the paintings of Sri Aurobindo’s poems and also approved Huta’s recitations of them.

From Sri Aurobindo’s poem “A God’s Labour” Huta reads:

I have gathered my dreams in a silver air

Between the gold and the blue 

And wrapped them softly and left them there,

My jewelled dreams of you

Mere entertainment or an art of living, this tool makes one blossom at every contact. In this circle of joy where each one encounters his difficulties, we laugh at the vagaries of life without worrying ourselves with what comes next. At times flexible, at times less so, the player juggles with his abilities, never quite revealing them, using 'malicia' and guided by his most childlike perception.

Hatha Yoga

is a comprehensive study of asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath control).
We will begin by breathing exercises (pranayama) and go on standing positions to warm the body. After we go on working deeply the flexibility and the purification of the body   by the sitting positions. In my class I keep attention on breathing and awareness of the body through asanas. The alignment is not the priority but the awareness of the body and breathing are the priority.
Slowly I will adapt to your abilities and your own difficulties and help each one of you to progress in the yoga.
Why dynamic: we will keep a kind of fluidity during standing asanas  to help the mind to stay concentrate and later to go more inside (development of concentration) and develop your abilities to feel your body and be aware of your breath.

Women pregnant until 7 month can follow my class if there are active. Persons with back pain, sciatic are welcome to join and it will help them.

There are two levels:
Beginners: for whom who have almost never practice Yoga, who have physical problems and for pregnant women.
Mixed: for whom who have already practice Yoga and know the asanas.

OM Choir

The voice that chants to the creator Fire,

                            The symbolled OM, the great assenting Word         (Savitri p.310)

In 1961 the Mother gave the adesh to Narad to bring down a new music. She said that one must go far above words and bring down the pure Music. Mother told us to sit in a circle and have no preconceptions as to what we would sing but to be silent and let the music descend in us. The OM Choir aspires to bring down the New Music for the New World in a collective body. We sing only OM, the creative and effectuating Word, after starting with warming-up and voice exercises given by Narad.

Ashtanga  Yoga

All students commence their instruction in the same manner in which on the first day of class they are taught Surya Namaskar A, followed by Padmasana and deep breathing, and a few minutes of rest to conclude their first day of practice. The next day after Surya Namaskar A has been performed, Surya Namaskar B is taught, and one then again concludes in the same method as the previous day, with Padmasana, deep breathing, and rest. After both of the Surya Namaskar have been learned correctly, each of the various asanas are added one by one. When one asana is correct, the next one is taught. Depending on the age and ability of the student, it can take anywhere upwards of 3 months to learn the primary series.

 From Monday to Friday: the format of the practice always remains the same; one always begins practice on his own with Surya Namaskar, concludes with Padmasana and rest, and the various asanas gradually fill the space between these two poles It is through the daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga that we draw it into ourselves, understand it.
On Saturdays, group guided classes are taught, in which all the vinyasas are counted out loud and all students follow along together accordingly

Christine was born in France in 1967. After completing her studies as Nurse in 1988, she started working as a nurse and soon started

 travelling in India seeking “for the truth” through pilgrims around Rishikesh

A few years later with the financial support of sponsors she  crossed  The Himalays with horses from Kathmandu to Srinagar for 8 month, later on, she followed the Mekong river from his stream in Tibet ( Xining- Kham) though South east of Tibet, Yunnan, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodge.

In 1995 She created Orient explorers a tourism and travelling association and worked within until 2002. She came across Vipassana meditation  and decided to settle in Auroville in 2002,  an intentional spiritual community located in South India.

In 2004, after two years studying  Hatha Yoga and Yengar, she discovered  Ashtanga Yoga  and started to  study with Monica Marinoni until 2016 and  since 2007  under the guidance of Sri Sharath Jois  (Sri K. Pattabhi Jois’grandson)  at the Krishna Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India.
In 2010 she opened “ Yoga et Bien-etre”, where she was teaching for 4 years, running Hatha Yoga class evenings  and daily Mysore style program in the mornings. And the last year, she started to offer workshops on Yoga and meditation including Satsang about Yoga sutra, relaxation and pranayama.
For 13 years she studied the yoga through her own daily practise and teaching, the mind through regular and repetitive meditation retreats, she gave importance to the sadhana, she learned more about the body through her training and experience in Thai yoga massage and about the mind through her training and practise in NLP (sessions, workshop) .   

With deep gratitude and respect she shares the primary series teachings as she has been taught by Monica Marinoni and Sri Sharath Jois.

Description

Yoga Anatomy and Alignment in Asana

These yoga sessions highlight basic anatomy and alignment. Each class focuses on a specific musculoskeletal group, and begins with a brief description of the corresponding anatomy. We then engage these muscles and bones through a variety of asanas (standing poses, twists, hip openers, forward and back bends). The use of props helps students at all levels to develop sensitivity, and practice with greater stability, effectiveness, and ease. Understanding basic anatomy, alignment, and use of props allows practitioners to receive the full benefits of each asana without overextending themselves.

Sheida is a certified yoga teacher from the SportFor All Federation of Iran. She has been teaching yoga for 7 years,   and is also a hydrotherapist, and an aqua yoga and swimming instructor. Sheida is a Savi volunteer, visiting Auroville from her home country of Iran.

As India and students worldwide celebrate the centenary of Yogacharya BKS Iyengar on 14th Dec, we are fortunate to have senior Iyengar yoga teacher Rajiv Chanchani offer these classes in Auroville. 

Rajiv started studying with Shri Iyengar, fondly known as Guruji to his students, in 1977. Ever since, Rajiv has been attending classes at the RIMYI , Pune for several months each year. For many years, he and his wife Swati taught yoga in several premier schools and institutions in India and overseas. In 1995, they authored the pioneering book, Yoga for Children.  With Guruji's blessings, Swati and Rajiv established the Yog-ganga Centre for Yoga Studies, in Mussoorie in 1988. In 2002, this centre moved to a purpose built studio in the foothills of Dehradun (http://www.yog-ganga.com), where they conduct regular classes and intensives.

Deep relaxation sessions that last for about an hour open to everybody.

Dance liberates us from our thinking minds as we fully inhabit our bodies.To achieve inner stillness of mind we begin by chanting mantra OM several times spontaneously from the heart centre. Once the mind is slowed down, we chant the maha mantra "Hare Rama Hare Krishna"  or similar and then express the inner joy in form of natural body movements focusing entirely on the present moment.In the end, we ground the energy using proven guided relaxation technique of auto suggestion called Yoga Nidra or Yogic Sleep.

The practice guides the student to a tension-free state of radiant health achieved  through the postures (Asanas), breathing (Pranayama), Meditation (Dhyana), Concentration (Dharana), activation of the energetic centers (Chakras), and Relaxation techniques.

As a result, the flow of Prana (Vital Life Force) is unblocked 

Throughout the Nadis (energy meridians). Balance is restored in the physical, mental, emotional, intuitive and psychic being.

Mere entertainment or an art of living, this tool makes one blossom at every contact. In this circle of joy where each one encounters his difficulties, we laugh at the vagaries of life without worrying ourselves with what comes next. At times flexible, at times less so, the player juggles with his abilities, never quite revealing them, using 'malicia' and guided by his most childlike perception.

La communication non violente s’attache à instaurer entre les êtres humains, des relations fondées sur une coopération harmonieuse, sur le respect de soi et des autres. Cet outil de communication verbale est recommandé pour la résolution de conflits et permet de développer une meilleure relation à soi. Sa pratique repose sur l'expérimentation d'un nouveau modèle qui a pour principaux objectifs, l'identification des sentiments, des besoins et la formulation d'une demande en vue de les satisfaire. Cette approche est bénéfique pour communiquer avec davantage d'authenticité.

Hatha Yoga

is a comprehensive study of asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath control).
We will begin by breathing exercises (pranayama) and go on standing positions to warm the body. After we go on working deeply the flexibility and the purification of the body   by the sitting positions. In my class I keep attention on breathing and awareness of the body through asanas. The alignment is not the priority but the awareness of the body and breathing are the priority.
Slowly I will adapt to your abilities and your own difficulties and help each one of you to progress in the yoga.
Why dynamic: we will keep a kind of fluidity during standing asanas  to help the mind to stay concentrate and later to go more inside (development of concentration) and develop your abilities to feel your body and be aware of your breath.

Women pregnant until 7 month can follow my class if there are active. Persons with back pain, sciatic are welcome to join and it will help them.

There are two levels:
Beginners: for whom who have almost never practice Yoga, who have physical problems and for pregnant women.
Mixed: for whom who have already practice Yoga and know the asanas.

Every Thursday

Healing the mental and physical body is attainable using the restorative combination of Asana(posture), pranayama( breathing techniques), mudra (gestures mimicking the psyche), Bandha(energy locks). These techniques purify the body,mind and energy systems in preparation for a deep meditative practice.

Every Thursday

Open Heart Space Meditation is a simple practice of becoming aware of the reality as it is without judgement, interpretation or reaction, and settling into its vast luminous expanse. We learn to embrace and let go each experience as it arises and subsides. Eventually the mind falls silent and sinks into the open heart-space, a doorway to unity-consciousness, where the inner and outer worlds meet and merge.

Along with meditation, there will be some mantra chanting, yoga, interactive dialogue, and whatever arises in the moment.

Ashtanga  Yoga

All students commence their instruction in the same manner in which on the first day of class they are taught Surya Namaskar A, followed by Padmasana and deep breathing, and a few minutes of rest to conclude their first day of practice. The next day after Surya Namaskar A has been performed, Surya Namaskar B is taught, and one then again concludes in the same method as the previous day, with Padmasana, deep breathing, and rest. After both of the Surya Namaskar have been learned correctly, each of the various asanas are added one by one. When one asana is correct, the next one is taught. Depending on the age and ability of the student, it can take anywhere upwards of 3 months to learn the primary series.

 From Monday to Friday: the format of the practice always remains the same; one always begins practice on his own with Surya Namaskar, concludes with Padmasana and rest, and the various asanas gradually fill the space between these two poles It is through the daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga that we draw it into ourselves, understand it.
On Saturdays, group guided classes are taught, in which all the vinyasas are counted out loud and all students follow along together accordingly

Description

Yoga Anatomy and Alignment in Asana

These yoga sessions highlight basic anatomy and alignment. Each class focuses on a specific musculoskeletal group, and begins with a brief description of the corresponding anatomy. We then engage these muscles and bones through a variety of asanas (standing poses, twists, hip openers, forward and back bends). The use of props helps students at all levels to develop sensitivity, and practice with greater stability, effectiveness, and ease. Understanding basic anatomy, alignment, and use of props allows practitioners to receive the full benefits of each asana without overextending themselves.

Sheida is a certified yoga teacher from the SportFor All Federation of Iran. She has been teaching yoga for 7 years,   and is also a hydrotherapist, and an aqua yoga and swimming instructor. Sheida is a Savi volunteer, visiting Auroville from her home country of Iran.

You can become conscious of your visual limits by doing some simple and easy drawing exercises. Please don’t be afraid! Drawing is not a matter of some mysterious magical skill, but a matter of perception. Every person who is able to write has the skill to draw.

This short learning experience is interesting for everybody, who really wants to explore the reality around. Our perception (of every sense!) is usually limited by what we already have learned.

Most people are not even able to even see, what is right in front of their eyes.

They register what they see and then the mental part of the brain filters the information and makes it fit into their habits and belief systems.

Realizing this mechanism you might become able to perceive the real physical form.

By seeing that, you can go further and start to see energy fields …

In these 2 1/2 hours you might find a different access to silence your mental and to unfold your creativity.

Dear Friends,

Join us every Friday from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm as we explore Solitude farm and the three steps on our road back to Nature. Experience the farm with Krishna as your guide as he shares his understanding of 25 years having started Solitude Farm and studying with Masanobu Fukuoka.

For more information, please contact Krishna - 984 331 2960 & krishnamckenzie@auroville.org.in

-----

Solitude was started in 1996 by a group of young Aurovillians. One of them, Krishna Mckenzie, inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka developed the farm with the ideas of Natural farming and permaculture.

Much like the rest of Auroville, the land needed tending and care. Fukuoka advocated that all the bio-resources around us, such as leaves, weeds, branches, etc., should constantly be returned to the soil to increase soil fertility. We have come to understand, over the years, that a healthy soil is Mother Earth, and through a deepening of our relationship with Her, we now use over 130 different plants in the food we serve at the café.  

No pesticides or fertilizers have ever been used on the land. We practice non-tillage and no machines or tractors are used. Every part of this land is honored and respected.

Solitude Farm is a true example of Masanobu Fukuoka’s philosophy in practice – a road back to nature through eating local food.

This is a class for regular practitioners of Pilates that have already develop the undertanding the Pilates basics, to come you should...

...know how to do the pilates breathing

...know the importance of move from the core( center or power house) with the breath

...that Pilates look for quality over quantity, so stop and recover for the next exercise better than keep doing exercise skipping the right teqnics, the proper aligment or without following the breath

If you can do that you are more than welcome to come to deeper your practice and keep on developing the body strenth,flexility and ability to move the body with control and flowdity.

Every Friday

An easy, gentle blend of pranayama (breath), asanas (postures) and relaxation to lift body, mind and spirit. This class is suitable for all, as it is based on yoga’s universal principles that help guide us to union with ourselves.

Kaveri is a certified Hatha Yoga Teacher from India’s Arhanta Yoga Ashram. She is a globetrotter and Bharatnatyam dancer who recently came to Auroville, as a Savi volunteer, to celebrate the spirit of unity and harmony of all living beings through yoga, talks and some masala chai.

Exploring the Bhagavad Gita

led by Dr.Jai Singh

The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most revered spiritual texts of India, and played an important role in the spiritual development of both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. This course aims to share the Sanskrit verses one by one, with word by word explanations, as well as explanation of each verse as a whole in relation to the chapter it appears in and the text as a whole.

Dear Friends,

This is a closer look at Solitude farm through exploration of local food. This workshop will give you a clear insight on how to re-connect with Mother Nature through the principles of natural farming and permaculture. Held every Saturday, from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, includes lunch and refreshments.
Contribution – Rs. 800. 

For more information, please contact Krishna - 984 331 2960 & krishnamckenzie@auroville.org.in

Solitude was started in 1996 by a group of young Aurovillians. One of them, Krishna Mckenzie, inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka developed the farm with the ideas of Natural farming and permaculture.

Much like the rest of Auroville, the land needed tending and care. Fukuoka advocated that all the bio-resources around us, such as leaves, weeds, branches, etc., should constantly be returned to the soil to increase soil fertility. We have come to understand, over the years, that a healthy soil is Mother Earth, and through a deepening of our relationship with Her, we now use over 130 different plants in the food we serve at the café.   

No pesticides or fertilizers have ever been used on the land. We practice non-tillage and no machines or tractors are used. Every part of this land is honored and respected. 

Solitude Farm is a true example of Masanobu Fukuoka’s philosophy in practice – a road back to nature through eating local food.
