AGAMA YOGA - VANCOUVER |
Agama Yoga is happy to announce the opening of its newest branch in Vancouver, Canada! This center is dedicated to building a strong Yoga community and providing support for those who seek the truth and have the courage to strive toward the Divine. The complete First Month Intensive (referred to as Agama Level 1 in Vancouver) will be offered on Monday and Thursday evenings plus one Sunday per month from January through the end of March, 2008. Drop-in and late course joiners are always welcome and will be accommodated. More advanced teachings will be offered as students reach such levels or as requested by other Agama branch transfer students. With permission from Swami Vivekananda, Agama Vancouver is also offering a course unique among all Agama centers, focused entirely on meditation. This course is designed to introduce the beginner to meditation while also providing in-depth information and initiations which will interest those who already practice. This course will cover a selection of meditation techniques, a rare and powerful mantra initiation, as well as postures and breathing techniques specifically chosen for their value in supporting meditation. There is such a wide array of meditation styles promoted in the world today and it can be difficult to distinguish what is authentic. The goal of this course is to help students clearly understand what is meditation and what is not, and to be able to begin to discern and choose techniques that will give them the results they seek. According to the Agama Yoga tradition, each class is composed of a theoretical segment (an informative lecture) and a practical segment, together creating a comprehensive and effective learning experience. There are no prerequisites; everyone is welcome. The Level 1 meditation course is offered on Tuesday evenings through 19 February. By offering the Agama curriculum as well as sponsoring social events, movie nights, discussions, workshops, retreats, meditation courses, and group practice, the Agama Yoga - Vancouver teachers are working hard to lay the foundation for a strong and vital spiritual community. An integral part of the Agama system is the relationship between students and teachers. We offer our support for students’ spiritual evolution, and invite them to join any class or special event as they have the opportunity to attend. Spiritual support and initiation is an important component of the Tantric Yoga system, and in light of this, we will offer a number of supported meditations, starting with a consistent meditation on Tuesday evenings at the center.
