DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Sharon Salzberg and Stephen Cope \nFor all levels. \nJoin renowned teachers Sharon Salzberg and Stephen Cope for a weekend of loving-kindness practice (metta meditation) and yoga. The Buddhist and yoga traditions both hold that it is possible to systematically cultivate feelings of loving-kindness\, or what yoga philosophy refers to as “friendliness toward all beings.” These two great traditions each developed practices designed to promote the experiences of inner balance\, happiness\, and equanimity\, as well as compassion (karuna) and sympathetic joy (mudita). \nExperience on-the-mat yoga practice and sitting meditation that foster loving-kindness\, along with an understanding of the importance of metta and yoga in the overall vision of the contemplative traditions. Sharon and Stephen cultivate a relaxed\, friendly atmosphere\, welcoming people at all levels of yoga and meditation experience\, including beginners. \nRecommended reading Sharon Salzberg\, Loving-Kindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness and Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation; Stephen Cope\, The Great Work of Your Life: A Guide for the Journey to Your True Calling.

SUMMARY:The Great Work of Your Life: The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita
DESCRIPTION:For all levels\, including beginners. \nMost of us will never be monks or nuns. While longing for a rich spiritual life\, we will live out our lives in the context of work\, family\, financial concerns\, and the challenges of aging. Is there a way to use the conflicts and struggles of daily life to cultivate an inner life of spirit? The Bhagavad Gita\, the Hindu devotional work that translates as “Song of God\,” answers a resounding “yes.” \nIn this program\, we explore karma yoga\, the yoga of action. Each day includes asana practice\, lecture\, discussion\, and exercises aimed at allowing us to experience life as a profound spiritual practice. \nJoin the founder of the Kripalu Institute for Extraordinary Living to explore the living tradition of yoga.
