Do you Truly understand yourself as a Man? Do you understand the Power of your own Self-Recuperation? It is far greater than we know or feel it to be. The time has come for Man to Command his Own Self and Environments. A Man can become Invincible and Evergreen if he truly wants to.

“Come and Experience the Disciplines and Perspectives that serve you as an Individual so you can deliver your Excellence as a Man. Forge from Raw Steel a Tempered Sword of Clarity about how to be a Man and what it takes to walk on the Path of a Spiritual Man within the 21st Century.”

A Celebration of Divine Union between Woman and Man. Join us in creating a blissful space to Unite the Shiva and Shakti within each of us.

Tripsichore Yoga Theatre will be playing “The Witches” at The Special Yoga Centre in London on August 14th.

“The Witches” is about two sinister sisters who use their magic to create a monster to serve them. In a secluded forest retreat, they fashion this creature, but he turns out to be something less and something more than they bargain for. Left to his own devices, he abandons the work he has been set and investigates the storehouse of the witches’ magic. When the sisters discover him perusing their magic stockpile, they each blame the other for allowing this to happen. The reproach escalates into a brawl and it is up to the creature to make peace between them.

Tripsichore are a group of performers who specialise in a dedication to Yoga. Their performances bring the history of Yoga into the world of contemporary theatre. They are dancers, actors and Yoga practitioners, presenting annual seasons of new work in London and around the world.

Tripsichore’s Yoga Theatre celebrates Yoga philosophy and extraordinary physical prowess, giving the 5000 year old discipline of Yoga a sensually modern twist. Yoga Theatre combines the spirituality of Yoga with acrobatic agility and grace and the emotional pull of a good play. Yoga Theatre is like a moving sculpture, driven by the rock tinged, music of such luminaries as B. J. Cole and LagoonWest.

About Tripsichore

Tripsichore began in 1979 as a company devoted to creating full length dance narratives. They explored a variety of stylistic forms including punk ballet, conventional modern dance and strict neo-classical technique. They used masks, performed with rock bands and did pop videos.

While Yoga was always a part of their training, it wasn’t until 1992 that we realised the expressive potential and choreographic viability of Yoga Postures. Once they began to devise works using Yoga Ásanas, their extraordinary artistic logic became evident. Surprisingly, it would seem that there has been no orthodox tradition for using Yoga Technique to create dances in the 5000 year history of the discipline. The postures intrinsically possess a sumptuous beauty and fluidity. They are the ideal vehicle to express the themes of harmony, balance, spirituality, ecstasy, bliss and mysticism because they are exactly about these subjects in and of themselves. Tripsichore are now many years into this experiment and each day brings new discoveries.

About Gopala Amir Yaffe

Gopala Amir Yaffe, the founder of Rainbow Kids Yoga (RKY), has been teaching Yoga for children and adults, as well as meditation and Yoga Philosophy, since 1995.

He was a monk in the Sivananda Yoga Centers in Israel and the Bahamas for ten years, from 1994-2004, where he completed his Yoga Teacher Training and Advanced Teacher Training, and also helped train Sivananda teachers. While living in the Bahamas, Gopala was the general manager of the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat on Paradise Island, for four years.

From 2004 to 2007, Gopala created, managed and taught yoga and alternative spa programs in Los Cabos, Mexico and New York City. He also continued studying yoga for kids at Karma Kids in New York and Itsy Bitsy Yoga in Massachusetts, and Circus Yoga with Erin and Kevin O’Keefe. Gopala also studied healing with tibetan bowls with Avraham Benor and is a Reiki master. In 2008, after studying with Rabbi Joseph Gelberman, Gopala was ordained as an Interfaith minister. In 2009, Gopala was certified in Thai Yoga Massage by the Ritam School of Healing Arts and Saul David Raye.

In 2007, Gopala and Katya Fialkova founded the studio Yoga LeShalom (Hebrew for “”Yoga for Peace””) in Tel Aviv, Gopala’’s hometown. Yoga LeShalom is a studio for the whole family, where the daily schedule included drop-in yoga classes for adults, yoga for kids, Ma and Baby, and Family Yoga. That same year, Gopala began focusing on training yoga teachers for kids, and Rainbow Kids Yoga was born! In late 2008, Gopala and Katya relocated to the United States, although Gopala continues to visit Israel to train teachers there.

Gopala has taught yoga for kids in such diverse settings as public and private schools, kindergartens, and preschools, summer camps, orphanages, yoga studios, juvenile detention centers, hotels, spas, at birthday parties, and in private classes. His playful, patient and warm teaching style has created a training course that has been described by graduates as magical, inspiring, very practical, transformative, and an unforgettable journey.”

Gopala will continue to teach the three-day RKY teacher trainings in Europe and Israel in 2010, but will shift his focus later this year to the longer 200 Hr teacher trainings, allowing him time to work on much-awaited Yoga for Kids books, games, and products.

The Life Bliss Foundation, founded by Paramahamsa Nithyananda, offers a free 2-Day Meditation Workshop on the Nithyananda Vedic Temple, in Montclair, California. This is Level1 workshop that is part of the Life Bliss Program (LBP Level 1) introduced by the foundation.

There are seven chakras or subtle energy centres in our body that are responsible for all the powerful emotions we go through on a daily basis. This 2-day workshop will introduce these seven major chakras, providing transformational meditation techniques to teach you how to unblock and energize these energy centres yourself – and remain blissful no matter what is happening around you.
Open to All (old timers, new bees and even ácháryas).

Program
LBP Level 1

• Reduce Stress
• Improve Sleep
• Transform Worry
• Overcome Fears
• Improve Relationships
• Increase Clarity and Joy

Empower your life with seven Transformational Meditation Techniques, which are improving the lives of millions around the world, all designed by Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

What is Life Bliss Program all about?

LBP Level 1 (Life Bliss Program)
Meditation is the Key !

The Life Bliss Program helps you create your own Mind Relaxation Spa. The program unleashes the latent inner potential of every Being and helps in taking the first step towards Bliss. This program is about the flowering of Bliss within oneself.

This is an introductory level 2-day meditation program that works on the seven energy centres (chakras) in the human body. There are seven key Chakras or Energy Centres in the human body that is responsible for the proper functioning of the body, mind, and heart. These energy centres were discovered a very long time ago, and they deeply influence our physical, emotional and mental state. The presence of these energy centres in our body has now been scientifically documented by Kirlean photography. When any of the energy centers is low on energy, the system malfunctions and the body gets diseased. This changes the physical, mental, and emotional state from ease to ‘dis-ease’. This low energy can be felt much before it manifests itself in the physical body as a disease. If we keep the energy centres in a cleansed and energized condition, they can help us live a disease free, stress free, and blissful healthy life.




Why is Life Bliss Program for me?

Meditation IS our true nature. As a child begins to grow, the purity of its Meditative state is spoilt due to many external factors. As a result, a child that arrives in this world in a state of utter innocence, wonder, joy, ecstasy, and celebration turns into a human being torn by divisions, tensions, and turmoil’s. Deep rooted Engraved Memories (Samskaras) in the unconscious zone further cripple our ability to enjoy bliss.

The program has a two way approach. It provides intellectual knowledge, the simple understanding and practice of which provides powerful healing by establishing positive mindsets in the human conscious zone. The other part is the meditations themselves.


How are the Life Bliss Program meditations different?

The Life Bliss Program consists of a package of seven transformational meditation techniques drawn from all religions for all regions, and cognized and enriched by Nithyanandaji’s keen insight and knowledge. These meditation techniques dramatically restore the life energy; eliminate deep rooted Engraved Memories (Samskaras), thereby infusing good health and bliss. which is the innate nature of every being. These meditation techniques can be practiced by one and all and have been enriched to suit the modern man’s mind and mind-set. The techniques allow the blossoming of joy, bliss, love, healing and harmony. It also dramatically restores the life energy, thereby infusing good health and bliss.

About Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Paramahamsa Nithyananda, (Swamiji), founder of Life Bliss Foundation, says “Enlightenment flowers when individual consciousness merges into universal consciousness.
