Monisha Raja YOGA

I sat in a cafe across from the ashram in Puttaparthi, listening to the chants of the ongoing Rudra Maha Yajna. I lost myself and painted Baba. I never noticed before how beautiful he is.

Yoga for Long-COVID & Pulmonary Health
Fri, Mar 22, 8-10 am PT/11-1 pm ET.

According to the CDC, 6 in 10 Americans live with at least one chronic disease.

Yoga is often recommended for people with chronic illnesses, yet there is very little discussion about how best to practice. Yoga that is taught consciously can offer a sanctuary of self-care for spoonies (people who have energy-limiting conditions), as well as people with chronic pain or other chronic conditions.

Whether you are a practitioner or a teacher, this new workshop series from the  is an opportunity to learn from teachers who have navigated chronic conditions themselves, so that you can gain insight for your own practice or to help you guide your students in a safe and effective way.

Yoga for Spoonies features 10 workshops from Dr. Steffany Moonaz, Katie Blecker, Audrey (Auzhó Yoga), Rodrigo Souza, Marsha D. Banks-Harold, Dr. Shailla Vaidya, Astrid van Rens, Cheri Clampett, Natalia Tabilo, Sarah Thomas, Jivana Heyman, and myself.

*This series began on Wednesday February 28th, however it isn’t too late to catch the final live sessions, including a workshop with myself on Yoga for Long-COVID & Pulmonary Health this Friday, and catch up on the previous sessions via the replays.

My father passed away a week ago on Fri, Feb 2nd. My heart is broken open. I’m blessed to have been there with him before he left. He suffered a lot in the last few years. I’m grateful he is free now.

This is uncharted territory for me, and I’m processing my grief as best as I can while taking care of my mother, and logistics.
It’s been a huge lesson in practicing self-care while care-giving.
All my yoga and meditation practices are rising up to support and give me strength.

I’ll be extending my stay in India for a few more months, and teaching all my classes virtually.

Grateful for life, for all the love that is here and the opportunity to navigate uncertainty as gracefully as I can.

Goodbye Acha. Go in peace. All is well between us. I love you ❤️

2023 is sending me off in a truly special way🌟 I celebrated my birthday in India. It was the first time I’ve seen my parents on my birthday, and celebrated with my mother, since I was 18. It was so magical.

I felt so loved, surrounded by dear friends and had the yummiest vegan chocolate cake ever. Thanks

Grateful for all the gifts and lessons 2023 brought in. Can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store.
Happy New Year everyone. Sending you all so much love❤️🩷❤️
