Yoga in the park at okazki park, kyoto 2018

Earlier in April, we went to the Kyoto Yoga in the Park event. Even in the rain we had people donning rain coats to stay in a pose. It was a smaller event than the big International Day of Yoga. Still, it was filled with fun activities, yoga classes, and talks on yoga philosophy.

osaka castle park yoga day 2018

On April 17, 2018 at Osaka Castle Park there was a community event related to the 4th International Day of Yoga. Unfortunately, we missed a lot of it because the park around the castle is so damn big, we got lost. By the time we got there, the participants were already in the shade meditating. When we got our cameras out to record, they had all moved into the middle of the oval to celebrate coming together through yoga. So, this is what you see, a couple of concentric rings of people hugging and high-fiving each other. Still, it looked like a lot of fun. We aim next year not to be late!
 
Here is the link to the event.

Meriken park, Kobe - International Day of Yoga 2018

We made a short 2-minute film from our day out in Kobe, Japan at the 4th International Day of Yoga 2018 event.
1500 people partook in a group yoga class. That is about 500 more than last year! There was music, dancing, a market with yoga goodies and snacks. There were also other smaller classes throughout the day. 60 volunteers helped make the event successful.
Enjoy!

Yoga, Ethics and the Care of the Body: An Experiential Workshop

I'm happy to announce this FREE open to the public workshop that I am involved in. It is happening in early AUGUST, at the Australian National University.

Canberra, Australia 
04 AUGUST 2018

9am-12.30pm



​DESCRIPTION

How do diverse communities that practice yoga think about the rightful care of the body? This workshop – a morning of talk, practice, and creativity -- will bring together scholars and practitioners to explore questions about yoga, ethics and the body. We will consider how Indian religious traditions have conceptualized these questions, explore the public reshaping of yoga, and reflect on how a yoga practice can nurture new ethical approaches.
This half-day workshop includes short talks, practice sessions, and creative experiences. Through these different ways of knowing and reflecting, participants gain the opportunity to deepen their personal and community understanding of yoga, ethics and the body.
This event is free and open to the public. Places are limited and pre-registration is required. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing research about the meaning of yoga today.

9:30-10:00: Alan Goode, Yoga Mandir, "On Samyama: Inquiry and Practice"

International day of yoga

Today was fun. I was down at a IDY event in Osaka organised by the Art of Living. While it was workout keeping up with the 60+ participants through 108 rounds of sun salutes, I couldn't help think about this article that I published today about the political theology and implications of accepting Narendra Modis invitation to pledge to make yoga an integral part of ones life. Read on to find out what this entails.
