Short Qigong and Hatha Yoga class online

July 14, 2019

Sky-Qigong-and-Sama-Yoga-class--antique

Now available on our Sama Yoga YouTube channel – a Qigong and Hatha Yoga class with Sky!

 

A combination of a Qigong 30 minute class followed by 20 minutes of classical Yoga Asanas. The Qigong set is called the “Cosmic 8”; A reviving, yet grounding series, building arm and leg power and especially beneficial for heart and lungs.  All energy lines are stimulated thru the variety of hand positions and spiraling movements.  This is a great set to have up your sleeve for any quick energizing and back loosening, especially when traveling.  I used to find a quiet place when the bus or train stopped for a break, take 10-15 minutes for a quick boost. No need to take off the shoes or use a yoga mat, you have all you need with you.  Enjoy!

 

We will be adding more online classes in the near future. If you’re interested in more, subscribe to our channel. From our hearts to yours!

A compilation of interviews with Sky

December 1, 2018

Sky Sama Yoga TTC

“My classes are intuitive, I’m never completely sure what’s gonna happen because I try to be very honest and available for the group that’s there. What I have in my background, in my treasure chest I like to call it – all the jewels acquired in a lifetime, plenty of hatha yoga, Iyengar yoga, kundalini yoga, and just living a life that’s dedicated to yoga. Most importantly – spending years with my teacher Swamiji, learning about the vedas…

 

Expect to be taken care of, nicely held and guided – without too much detail, there’s space to relax, feel and be with yourself. No matter how flexible your legs are, if there’s conflict in your heart space, struggling going on, then we need to pay attention there.”

 

“Sky’s yoga is an incredible mixture of funky and traditional” /Helen

 

“The essence of yoga is love, relaxing into the heart, where everything is ok, where there’s no pressure.. The ultimate goal of yoga, as I understand it, as it’s put forth in Patanjali’s yoga sutras and the vedas, is really to be absolutely comfortable in oneself, as you are. To know oneself as full and complete, as wholeness, despite what we may feel. In and through, we know we’re ok, we rest in that fullness.”

 

“The Bhagavad Gita is all about the upanishads and the vedas, all in one great story, one dialogue between Krshna and Arjuna. Arjuna is put in a very difficult situation in the middle of a battle, where he has to face people that he loves, and abide in dharma. At that point he questions “what is this all about?”. What is the meaning of life?”

 

“The most important thing is that I see people as acceptable, that’s the main message of Vedanta too. We happen to be acceptable, despite the limitations we may feel in the body, despite the emotions that will continue to play, I happen to be acceptable as I am. Love, support, let people feel great about themselves, that’s what is true.”

You are lovable

August 23, 2018

Sama Yoga puja

You are acceptable, lovable, perfect the way you are, whether you can do that advanced asana or not, whether you are flexible or stiff, weak or strong.
That’s the message we want to give as a Sama Yoga teacher. An important part of the teacher training is to find self love, self acceptance and kindness towards ourselves. Accepting yourself fully, every aspect of you. Because the truth is you ARE perfect the way you are, right here right now! From the relaxation that comes with that acceptance we choose to do asanas, or we can choose not to. Either way is perfectly fine.
There’s nothing you need to do to become ok, you’re already better than the best, just because you’re you! Ah, what a relief! With that in my heart it’s easy to relax and enjoy life.

About the name Sama Yoga

May 1, 2018

Sama Yoga with Sky
About the name Samayoga
The name feels perfect.  The more I understand about yoga and how it serves us, the more I resonate with it.  It has tradition and depth, it tells what yoga is meant to give us, what it’s main purpose is.
The name came like this.  I was spending a great deal of time with Swamiji, back in 2003-2008, mostly in his little house listening to him unfold the wisdom of Advaita Vedanta and Yoga shastra, and I was also blessed to teach Swamiji what I knew about Hatha yoga.  Actually I feel I learned much more than he did as he constantly shared the behind the pose meanings of yoga and also clarified the deeper purpose of yoga as a means of maturation rather than just an “energy transforming” action.
We were collaborating and offering combined Yoga and Vedanta retreats.  Swamiji said once upon a time, almost as if it was known that he would need it sometime, he was given the name “SamaYoga” to use from his teacher Pujya Swami Dayananda. Seems like an amazing co-incidence! It was clear that this was the name we should use and Swamiji said to me, like all names of consequence, it’s an ongoing contemplation for you.
Samayoga is an auspicious name from the Bhagavat Gita, which talks about yoga as giving Samatvam; Balance and harmony in all aspects of one’s life.  It’s what we really want from it actually.
What we teach is dharma, psychology, Vedanta and assimilated wisdom from all the spiritual teachings received.  What has blessed us and given us emotional stability and objectivity.  This is Samayoga.
Even the Asanas and Pranayamas are delivered with careful attention to words that lead to accepting oneself fully and resolving into the heart deeper.
Samayoga has this profound quality of being Simple but deep. 
 
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
A Cheerful Death Poem

If i were to die now.
what would happen?
A rainbow in the sky
so temporary!
it’s beautiful to behold
because its only there
like a momentary flare
of colour…

A poem about sacredness…..

These words hit me,
like a bullet to the heart.
I heard them sung,
so beautifully,
so lovingly,
as though from an angel.
I heard them
felt them
and vowed to know them
as myself.

Samayoga

Sama Yoga is taught intuitively from the heart, it’s a practice that brings you back to yourself, to land in relaxation, trust and contentment with whatever your life brings. Samayoga brings balance and health physically, mentally and emotionally
