9/11 First Respondents

This time of the year in September around the memorial for the 9/11 tragedy my partners and I, the cofounders of the Serving Those Who Serve charity, are working to solidify the incredible expansion in our service work to supply Ayurvedic cleansing and immune support package, yoga and other natural holistic healing modalities to the rapidly growing community of 9/11 first respondents and down town residents recipients of our services. In the last two years alone the total of the people who have received our services have more than quadrupled from slightly more than 200 hundreds recipients to a close to 1,000 of recipients we have treated so far, more than 500 of them are NYC Firemen. Planning and caring for this fast growth in organization that has been run so far almost totally as a volunteer work by my partners, I and all of our recipients-turned-volunteers, has been an very demanding, but highly rewarding task for all of us. If you wish to learn more about this service work you can look at our website at http://www.stws.org http://www.stws.org and watch on a 9 minutes video the powerful testimonies of our recipients and Ayurvedic Drs. Pankaj and Smita Naram. You can also read powerful testimonies of Ground Zero participants from my yoga classes http://stws.org/schedule-yogaquotes.htm”>http://stws.org/schedule-yogaquotes.htm , and if you wish to help you can find the proper links for donation or to offer volunteer work. You are also welcome pass this website address to any one that you may know whose physical and/or emotional health have been affected by the 9/11 tragedy. Being so busy with STWS work is the reason for the delay this time of my September Newsletter announcing the restarting of the ongoing cycle of session coming back to the root chakra tomorrow ! Tomorrow Friday 9/7, this Saturday 9/8, Sunday 9/9 and Monday, July 9/10, each of the four ongoing cycles of classes of Active/Restorative Yoga, Kinetic Awareness and Meditation that I teach is coming back to the Root Chakra, and I will be restarting a new 8 week cycle that you can keep on attending for as long as you wish. Since the cycle of descending and ascending of our life energy up and down the tree of life of our 7 chakras is going within us all the time, you can come to check a class, or sign up for an 8 weeks portion of the ongoing cycle at any class of the ongoing cycle. However, the Root Chakra and any class up to the Heart Chakra have been the optimal times for exploring or joining this ongoing cycle of classes for most students so far. My focus on realigning our body postures on and off the mat, on clearing various energy blocks in our body that cause pain and various sicknesses, and on expanding our awareness of the various pulsations of this energy in our body and around us – in its various levels of functioning from the physical, through the emotional mental and into the spiritual – has inspired me to run my classes as an ongoing cycle. My intention is to support the students who come to my class in maximizing the multiple benefits of the practice of yoga and meditation, in order to balance, harmonize and expand the flow of our life energy in every area of our life. Both the weekday and the weekend classes will follow the same cycle of focusing on one of the 7 main chakras in each session. We will expand our experience and understanding of the functions and flow of our life energy through each chakra, and work on releasing tension from the body area in which this chakra resides, and on realigning and strengthening it. The 8th class is dedicated to integrating what we have learned and to learning to apply it to our everyday life and to the daily practice of Yoga and meditation. Thus, in an 8 week process of Yoga, Meditation and integrative body-mind and sound vibration techniques, we will treat ourselves to an experiential journey through our own Tree of Life. In the process, we deepen our understanding and conscious relationship with our Divine life energy, called by different traditions, Kundalini, Shakti, Shechina, Holy Spirit, Chi and many other sacred names. However, there is a difference in emphasis and structure between the Realigning Our Posture Revitalizing Our Health & Energy Flow weekday cycle and the Consciously Dancing With Our Divine Life Energy weekend cycle. I have attached at the bottom of this newsletter, a description of each of these two unique ongoing cycles of classes, to help you in making an educated choice whether to attend a weekday class, a weekend class, or any combination of both. 22% Discount Package for each of the 8 class cycles. By purchasing an 8 session cycle for $112, you save 22% off the total price (only $14 per 2 hour class). Single 2 hour classes can always be purchased at the standard price of $18 each. For Registration and more information call me at 212-877-8312. While there is plenty of space for the Monday afternoon class in the Namaste Yoga and Health Center, the space for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday classes is limited.
