Welcome to Ram Sangha Yoga!
I want to welcome you to the Ram Sangha Community. In 1998 a magical experience brought one of my greatest dreams into reality.
From the moment I started teaching Hatha yoga in 1991, I longed to belong to a community of the spirit that would participate in programs and activities that would move everyone involved to a greater harmony within ourselves, with our families and community.
In July of 1998, while participating in a Shiatsu training at a Zen monastery in the Catskills north of NYC, the monks who lived there approached me about returning the following summer to lead a yoga retreat. This life-changing event resulted in the birth of the Ram Sangha Community.
We have gathered together many times since then to participate in retreats, workshops, immersions and teacher training programs. The group was formed out of a shared vision of mutual support. This compassionate group encourages its members to embark on a path towards a more conscious and joy-filled life. We join together in celebration of the gift of embodiment filled with infinite possibility and a positive outlook for the future.
The second life changing event came that same year. In 1998 I met my teacher, John Friend. I was certified by John in 2001 to teach Anusara® Yoga and am so grateful to have found this amazing teacher and to be a part of his wonderful community. Ram Sangha has a great connection to the Anusara community. We are all fellow travelers on a road that promises to awaken all who participate to our true nature, to become more attuned to ourselves and others, and to open our hearts to a deep connection with Spirit that is present in every being and in every particle of matter in the Universe.
I invite you to become a member of the Ram Sangha Community. No matter how experienced you are in Hatha yoga, everyone is welcomed. Ram is another word for the Divine or Supreme Consciousness. Sangha means a gathering for the sake of the Higher Self.
Come and join the Sangha!
With great love and respect,
Jackie
