“Ayurveda is an art of living in harmony with nature, in harmony with our surroundings, and that is a beautiful thing.” — Dr. Vasant Lad Who’s joining us for tomorrow’s SATTVA Movie Night?! We are showing “The Doctor from India”, the beautiful story of the remarkable grandfather of Ayurveda in the West, Dr. Vasant Lad. “The Doctor from India is a meditative and immersive portrait of the life and work of Dr. Lad- the holistic health pioneer who first brought the ancient medical practice of Ayurveda from India to the west in the late 1970s. Integrating his gifts as both a healer and a mystic, Dr. Lad has dedicated his life to sharing what is considered the oldest healthcare system on earth in the complex medical landscape of the United States. This is the beautiful and inspiring story of a man who had for decades been quietly at the center of a revolutionary movement to change the way we care for our bodies and our spirits.” Tomorrow, Aug 9th from 7-9pm. FREE of cost with homemade Ayurvedic snacks by @lavidaveda.ca provided! Please pre-register online or at the SATTVA School to reserve your space!

“Relaxation does not mean sleep. Relaxation means to be blissfully happy; it has no end. I call bliss absolute relaxation; sleep is a different matter. Sleep gives only mind and senses relaxation. Bliss relaxes the ātma, the inner self; that is why, in Tantra, yoga nidra is the doorway to Samādhi.” - Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Take a guided journey within and explore the layers, or koshas, of your being through deep relaxation. A Friday afternoon Yoga Nidra with @thegongfatheryeg is your ticket to bliss ✨ Join Kevin today at 4:30pm #ilovesattva photo: @ambarsphotos
“Thousands of years before modern medicine provided scientific evidence for the mind-body connection, the sages of India developed Ayurveda, which continues to be one of the world’s most sophisticated and powerful mind-body health systems. More than a mere system of treating illness, Ayurveda is a science of life (ayur = life, veda = science or knowledge). It offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vibrant and healthy while realizing their human potential.” - @chopracenter Come expand your knowledge of Self through the practice of Ayurveda with Ayurvedic Practitioner, Jessica Kruse @lavidaveda.ca and @rameenpeyrow during our upcoming weekend intensive, “Balancing Your Doshas through the Wisdom of Ayurveda” August 10-11. Experience and learn about the doshas, or constitutions, within your own body and learn the secret of yoga and how to regulate healing through body, breath and mind. Ayurveda is the sister science of yoga that also offers Marma therapy as a tool and an intelligence to deepen your personal yoga practice. Over the course of the weekend, you will also learn about these vital Marma points that exist throughout the body and how to incorporate the science of Marma therapy into the practice of yoga. We are excited to kick off this weekend intensive with a FREE movie night on Friday, August 9th, showing “The Doctor from India”, an immersive portrait of the life and work of Dr. Vasant Lad, the grandfather of Ayurveda in the West! There will be homemade Ayurvedic snacks provided! Registration is now open online and space is LIMITED! So head over to our website to reserve your space ✨ #sattvayoga
“Asana is not the goal. Becoming flexible or balance on your hands is not the goal. The goal is to create space where you are stuck. To lift the layers of protection you built around your heart. To appreciate your body and become aware of the mind and noise it creates. To make peace with who you are. The goal is to love... well, you! Move your attention and your heart will grow." -Geeta Iyengar This is the yoga. ✨ Join us on your mat today and set an beautiful intention for yourself. 3:00pm SATTVA Foundations: Torso @angelamcfaul 4:30pm All Levels @angelamcfaul 5:45pm All Levels @rameenpeyrow 7:30pm Satsang + Meditation (free of cost) @rameenpeyrow 9:00pm Warm Restorative @noellerivetyoga . 📷: @ambarsphotos
Today is Guru Purnima, a day to celebrate our many teachers throughout this journey of life and a day to honour the teacher that exists deep within. Thousands of years ago, on this day, the first yogi, the first teacher of the path, and the first teachings manifested. This first, or Adi Yogi, who we call Shiva, imparted the wisdom of the inner realms to the seven sages to share with mankind. Today, we bow down to this path with deep reverence, to the wisdom of this inner journey, and to all the great masters, teachers, and guides who have carried these teachings through to us. Always with gratitude #omguru . 📷: @ambarsphotos
