This workshop will be of equal value to those moms expecting a C- section birth. Sadly, there is still very little dignity or respect shown to this kind of birth. It is still as miraculous and transformative a process, bringing the gift of life.

Generating more greenhouse gas emissions worldwide than all cars, lorries, trains, boats and planes added together, livestock farming is a topic that really should be at the core of any ‘green’ discussion … yet no one really talks about it.

Similar to An Inconvenient Truth (only way better), Meat the Truth uses scientific information on climate change and livestock farming to help us understand the impact our meat-eating habits have on the world.

For more info check out www.meatthetruth.nl

Join us this Saturday at 2pm for a movie afternoon and spirited discussion around this topic.

Its free to attend, but please call me on the numbers below to book your place, our movie evenings fill up fast.

Embrace this opportunity to release all and any fears, worries and concerns you may have about your pregnancy, labour, birth, becoming a mother and all the changes that brings with it.

Whether you are already a mother or not, whether your dream to have a natural birth, whether at home or in hospital, this workshop can assist you in working through your fears, accessing your hidden strengths and leading you away from feelings of powerlessness to a belief in your power as a woman. This workshop will take you on a journey to expand your awareness, increase your strength, and towards an understanding that your mind with its overwhelming fears can be conquered!

This workshop will be of equal value to those moms expecting a C- section birth. Sadly, there is still very little dignity or respect shown to this kind of birth. It is still as miraculous and transformative a process, bringing the gift of life.

Last months Kundalini Yoga Full Moon meditation was hosted at the studio here, and we had an amazing time.

Here’s a picture of Pritam leading the band Satya in the meditation.

On Sunday 26 July at 6pm we have the honour of hosting Syamarani dasi at the Ishta Yoga Studio.

The elaborate details of the beautiful paintings created by Syamarani dasi do not come from the artist’s imagination. Rather, all the details come from descriptions found in the Sanskrit texts of the ancient Vedas. These details are also found in the hearts of pure devotees who have realized those texts.

Her spiritual master is His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder-acarya of ISKCON, and world-famous preacher of Krsna Consciousness and Vedic culture, and the saintly spiritual master of millions of spiritual seekers. Soon after meeting him, she was initiated and given the name Jadurani dasi. (Later on, in 1992, he inspired his spiritual successor, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, to give her the additional spiritual name of Syamarani dasi).

Under Srila Prabhupada’s careful guidance, Syamarani became one of the first teachers of the Krsna Consciousness movement in the West. At present she is honored as a speaker of Vedic philosophy throughout the world, in countries like the U.S., Canada, England, Germany, Hong Kong, China, France, Italy, Malaysia, Australia, Brazil and Costa-Rica. She is regularly invited to speak in temples, yoga and other spiritual institutions, and on radio and television stations.

One of our students, Bhaweesha enjoys the weekly quotes she receives and sent this to share with everyone. She says:

Thank you very much for the quotes I’ve been receiving, there are many that have inspired and encouraged me.  I love inspirational messages and books.  One of my favourite authors is Sonia Choquette.  Here are a few quotes from her book “Your psychic pathway to Joy”:

Old Rule:  I don’t know where I’m going.  I don’t know what I’m doing.  I hope it works.

NEW RULE:   I am happier when I trust and use my intuition.  I don’t need approval from others.  My success in life is my approval!

Share your personal insights with loving and supportive people.  Sometimes  simply being able to share your intuitive feelings with a sympathetic friend is all you need in order to trust and act on what your spirit is telling you.  The right kind of friend will help honor your intuition.  Safely sharing your vibes with a soul supporter will help you remain faithful to your heart

Trust your intuition and act on its counsel.  Take a leap of faith into the world of the extraordinary!
