The Mind in Meditation
Narrowing the Space Between You and the Divine
It is frequently said that yoga is not a religion and that it refrains from religious dogma. Yet a spiritual understanding of life lies at the heart of yoga practice. Meditation helps us narrow the space between our conception of the divine, and our experience of it. Join Rolf for a fascinating evening devoted to the practice of meditation and to a new understanding of what spiritual life is truly about. The session will include a glimpse of the Upanishads, of the role of prayer, and of the importance of meditation in finding inner peace.
 

 PRESIDENT / SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR OF HIMALAYAN INSTITUTE
Rolf Sovik, PsyD is the President and Spiritual Director of the Himalayan Institute and a clinical psychologist in private practice. Rolf Sovik has studied yoga in the United States, India, and Nepal and is a practitioner of meditation for nearly forty years. He holds degrees in philosophy, music, Eastern studies, and clinical psychology. Co-director of the Himalayan Institute of Buffalo, NY he began his practice of yoga in 1972, and was initiated as a pandit in the Himalayan tradition in 1987. He is the author of Moving Inward, co-author of the award-winning Yoga: Mastering the Basics.
A clinical psychologist, he writes regularly for Yoga International magazine and travels widely teaching about the practice and philosophy of meditation.  




Saturday, March 23 • 9:30 am - 5:30 pm The Yoga Sutras + Asana Class 
Sunday, March 249:30 am - 5:30 pm The Yoga Sutras + The Gita
 $65 pp / $175 entire weekend / $150 OYBC Teacher Rate (for graduates)
Study the ancient philosophical and scriptural texts that are the foundation of the Yoga tradition with the spiritual director of the Himalayan Institute in this OYBC exclusive workshop.  The Saturday session of the weekend includes a 90 minute yoga class with Rolf at 9:30 am.  

So, please arrive early for class and bring a mat.

Yoga arises from a faith that the everyday rivulets and streams of human life lead to an ocean of joy. This philosophy of self-expansion is embodied in the practice of postures, in the serenity of relaxed breathing, and in the harmony and exquisite peace of meditation. In yoga, philosophy and practice bolster one another.

The clearest exposition of yoga philosophy is found in two texts: The Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. These classics lay out the journey of yoga from beginning to end. Join Dr. Sovik for a weekend focused on the study of both texts, but containing a generous dose of yoga practice as well – a blend that will satisfy body, mind, and heart.
