RESTORE & REJUVENATE

Graduating i-SKY Teacher Training K1 student teachers offer a yogic start to the New Year delivered to you online wherever you choose to BE!

This immersive virtual retreat will take place on the 1st & 2nd January 2021 and we invite you to drop in for a variety of Kundalini Yoga and meditation practices, informative workshops and more!

*******************************************

Kundalini Yoga is recognised as the Yoga of Awareness.

Modern Kundalini Yoga is grounded in conscious living.

It is a dynamic, powerful tool that is designed to give you an experience of your own self.

Through various simple practices we work to harness the mental, physical, and nervous energies of the body; consciously combining breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity and purify the blood.

It brings balance to the body, mind, and soul.

Whether you have practiced yoga of any kind before or if this is your first time you are very welcome to attend; the retreat client care team will be on hand to try to ensure your experience is enjoyable and that you leave feeling uplifted and radiant.

Go Fund Ataxia for Angad

Sat Nam dear sisters and brothers

OMG there is a part of me that feels uncomfortable in asking you for help.

But having felt that feeling - I going to do it anyway ❤️

I have a brain condition ataxia, which has become my close friend the past 8 month.

From writing books, owning a yogastudio, being self employed and being in service to sharing kundalini yoga, oils and consciousness - to living in a body where the cerebellum is shrinking. The function of walking, feeling myself in space, has gone, however, I am still so grateful I can still walk with a walker and/or cane now. Fine motorics belong to the past, speech is also a function controlled by the cerebellum is affected and so all functions will cease to function at some point.

This really sucks!!!

I have decided to get the most out of this human life I have been given and reach out!

#BLACK LIVES MATTER

Guru Dharam writes:

The law of Saturn decrees that “unlearned lessons” are re-presented within a cycle of 29 years.

The murder of George Floyd on May 25th, 2020, occurred nearly 29 years to the day after the American justice system failed to administer justice when Rodney King was badly beaten by five LA police officers, all of whom were acquitted of criminal charges, despite a graphic, 12-minute video recording. Black lives taken at the hands of over-zealous police are just as ghoulishly common in the US now as they were then, as officer after officer escapes accountability in the face of video evidence. This has been hideously demonstrated by the murder of George Floyd. But the subsequent demonstrations of global solidarity tell a different story. The turn of the wheel of Saturn has shifted us into the Aquarian Age, which is characterized by the collapse of old hierarchies as all our societal pillars are placed under the microscope of review. This includes the notions of justice, equality and common unity that we collectively demand are applied unilaterally irrespective of race, religion, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The violence and outrage we have seen over the past week in the protests throughout the US from the dispossessed, the disenfranchised, the exploited, and the alienated simply reflects our collective lack of care, inclusion, and recognition of our fellow brothers and sisters. We stand for justice, we stand for equality, we stand for an end to the systemic violence against Black Americans that has existed for the last four centuries. Just as we believe we must all do our part as individuals to constantly and actively combat racism and anti-blackness, and to use our privilege to make space for those who have been unjustly relegated to the sidelines of the system, we believe it is especially important to do so as members of the yogic community - which far too often fuanctions as a predominantly white space, despite its roots in India. We will be postponing this week’s Kundalini Cave Practice to next week in solidarity, and furthermore pledge to start (but not stop) addressing this issue within our own microcosm in the following ways: 1.We pledge to listen. If you are a Black yogi or a prospective student who has felt excluded by white spaces in the yoga world, and has the energy to let us know how we can make our spaces feel safer and more inclusive, we would love to know. 2.We pledge to help however we can. We understand there are a number of other potential barriers that might prevent a person from engaging in yogic practice. While we do not own or manage our own studio, we will do what we can to make our classes and trainings more accessible to Black yogis and yogis of color, economically or otherwise, by sharing resources and interfacing with the studios who host us on their behalf. 3. We pledge to keep learning and supporting. We can't put it any better than so many Black journalists, authors, and activists already have, so we are including a list of links below to meaningful articles, books, and organizations to donate to that will directly support Black lives, causes, and businesses. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd. Tony McDade. And so many others. We will continue to say their names. We will continue to be involved in this fight. We welcome your thoughts. Black lives matter. Black healing matters.

Addressing historical concerns around Yogi Bhajan

You may have read Peace Lagoon - it is many peoples favourite English version of Japji. Well Pamela Dyson, the young woman who set down those words 50 years ago, has set down her own story late 2019, in a short autobiography titled "Premka: White Bird in a Golden Cage: My Life with Yogi Bhajan" - and this bird ruffled a lot of feathers. We shared this here (January 2020) because we did not want it to appear that we might ignore the serious and deep rooted concerns that her story raised. We felt that some might be disturbed by the content and were able to support and discuss it with current students directly. Past or future students can also reach out in the i-SKY Facebook groups: (open to all) OR (past students only)

On 25 Feb 2020 following "credible allegations" from "multiple women" the legacy organisations of Yogi Bhajan created a website ssscresponseteam.org to provide further information and ongoing updates about the independent investigation of all allegations.

On 1 March 2020 i-SKY issued a statement which will be found at i-SKYnet/concerns where there is also a link to the independent report published in August and our own response to that too.

New Year Retreat

The new year retreat was a truly deep experience, in company of very caring and attentive 'graduates' from i-sky, as well as the others who all made it special to welcome the new year. The gong music was simply heavenly. Great. Thank you all. Mita and Raimund
