At Nataraja Yoga, our mission is crystal clear: to share the boundless benefits of yoga and meditation—physically, mentally, and spiritually—with the world. ✨

Dear NYC Yoga Community, As they say, "The early bird gets the worm!" And in our experience, when the birds arrive late, even the squirrels leave nothing behind. Join us bright and early this weekend for our transformative Stress Management sessions. Upcoming Class Details Date: Saturday June 7th & Sunday June 8th Time: 6AM ET to 8AM ET (IF 6 AM IS TOO EARLY FOR YOU, WE WILL CONSIDER HAVING ANOTHER SESSIONS FROM 9:35 AM TILL 11:30 AM ON THE SAME DAYS.)   Location: Online via Zoom (Sign Up Here!) Understanding Stress: Five Essential Definitions Before we dive into our practice, let's explore what stress truly means through five key perspectives: 1. Stress is Imbalance When our mind, body, and spirit are out of harmony, stress manifests as the symptom of this disconnection. 2. Stress is Speed In our fast-paced world, the relentless speed of modern life often overwhelms our natural rhythms. 3. Stress is Perception (Deepak Chopra) Any situation we perceive as a physical or psychological threat becomes a source of stress - highlighting how our mindset shapes our experience. If two folks are going down Roller Coaster:          One is Enjoying with Screaming and other one is having a Heart Attack ??) 4. Stress is a Reaction, Not an Action Understanding that stress is our response to circumstances, not the circumstances themselves, empowers us to change our relationship with challenging situations. 5. Autonomic Nervous System Response Stress triggers our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system reactions, affecting our entire being. Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times In Sanskrit, we recognize "Adhi Ja Vyaadhi" - stress-born diseases. The progression from Adhi (mental disturbance) to Vyaadhi (physical disease) to Upaadhi (chronic conditions) shows us how untreated stress manifests in our lives. But there is hope and healing available to us. Your Weekend Practice This weekend, we'll explore practical techniques to restore balance, slow down our internal speed, shift our perceptions, and calm our nervous system responses. Come prepared to learn tools you can apply immediately in your daily life. We encourage you to share your experiences as you begin implementing these stress management principles. Your journey may inspire others in our community! OM Shanthi, Shanti, Shantihi OM Peace, Peace, Peace be with us! With gratitude and peaceful intentions, Niru & Sudhir Parikh & NYC Teachers  Nataraja Yoga Center Disclaimer: These yoga sessions are complementary to medical treatment and should not replace professional medical advice.
