| The title of the following post was "The Courage to Go Within: Healing Silence." The teacher, Scott Schwenk, explained, "There is healing grace just behind appearances. Your heart is where Compassion finds fresh doorways into this world." |
|
| The vast unwavering power of nature is more obvious here in the forest. The interdependence of streams, animals and weather patterns humbles any ideas of achieving and becoming anything. Everything just dissolves back into silence and the love and compassion which emerge from silence. From one view, the world appears more fractured and chaotic than I've yet seen it. It's too easy to get lost in a sea of opinions, projections and grasping without strong boundaries. The practices are here to empower us. The practices are where we touch clarity. With skillful practices we burn off tensions that only create suffering for ourselves and others, that obscure the love and compassion we are all swimming in (whether we've recognized it yet or not). |

22 min — Ram Dass
I hope you won't miss this excellent video, which I found to be very supportive. And it's so enjoyable — like you're hearing a story from your fascinating friend.
Throughout many years of teaching, Ram Dass spoke so authentically and humbly, with detail and clarity, always referencing his deep, personal experience.
Even more, he had the capability of verbally expressing — while transmitting the Loving Truth in his Presence — the universal teachings of indigenous wisdom, most especially that of the yogis, his teachers. Over thousands of years, many teachers have incarnated onto this planet, dedicating themselves to uncovering, living, and sharing the knowledge that frees people from suffering. May we honor them with gratitude and by being the living Light that others may feel when they need it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When things are hard and nothing else is working, perhaps it's time to circle back around to a deeper letting go. Sometimes we can only do this out of a profound need to reduce suffering. But then we receive another benefit, as well. We reconnect with the "healing grace behind appearances" and the Vastness that wants to move through us as service, love, joy, peace, wisdom. |
|
| What exactly are we letting go of? Yoga Philosophy teaches that avidya is the fundamental cause of suffering. Avidya is an error in spiritual perception — regarding the non-self as the Self. And, thus, what we are letting go of is layer after layer after layer of the beliefs and stories that we have equated with who we are. |
It's not easy to feel anger, outrage, sadness, grief and powerlessness.
But it's even harder to separate those feelings from what appears to be their cause, and to allow them to move through without attaching to them or to the stories our mind tells.
We are called to such advanced work in order to regain the energy, clarity and capability to bring Light to the world.
For inspiration, I will think of one or more of the great beings who incarnated and how they behaved and persevered, as I know these beings wanted to be models for us to carry on the great work until it's finished, and peace prevails.

| The word for suffering in Sanskrit is "dukha," but it means much more… The real meaning of dukha has within it the seeds of recovery from dukha. Literally, it means “obstructed space.” … Leslie Kaminoff says, "Whenever someone comes to me, whether it’s for depression or a breathing difficulty or a back pain, what I’m assuming is that there is some place in the system that is obstructed, that needs more space.” All the practices of yoga address these blockages and begin to release them. |

| This is an invitation to pause, and to set a conscious intention to engage with what you're viewing here in a way that is optimally useful for you. Can you remind yourself to stay connected with your body while reading and viewing? Notice the breath expanding your torso. Follow the exhale all the way out, softening your shoulders and eyes. |
|
| Pause & Reflect |
|
- Do you believe in your heart that the tools and philosophy of yoga can help during times of extreme difficulty, or crisis?
- Have you at times lost faith in your practices and then regained faith based on the results you got from re-starting them?
- Do you have a desire to help others to find peace in their heart and have the energy to solve problems in their lives and communities?

| You might find it hard to believe that a teacher who bought our $25 study guide actually wrote this without any prompting or editing from us, but she really did. You can email her to verify. :) |
|
| Reading the minimum knowledge standards really highlighted some of the many things I have yet to learn. Exploring each section has been a fun way to dive into learning and even reacquainting myself with a lot of the history and philosophy we only touched on in the trainings I’ve attended. Anyone who practices could benefit from making sure they’re educated in all of the areas included in that guide. I’ve already filed a notebook with notes and journal entries from looking at the few things I’ve gotten into so far... You are absolutely welcome to use my email... These tools are so helpful. I have many books, but being able to narrow down the information and read so many quotes and perspectives from a number of brilliant minds on a single topic is incredibly empowering. Thank you again! |

| Two different ways of operating: hierarchy or collaboration. Which do you choose to support? |
|
| We incarnated into the long-standing, top-down, pyramidal power system that parasitically feeds the top tier elite from the energy, resources, and life force of the lower levels and Gaia. Obviously, this is an imbalanced operating system that is destroying the majority of life on the planet…. The new earth operating system has been evolving, anchoring and activating for all who choose to shift. Instead of a top-down pyramidal system, the New Earth offers a circular continuum that… functions in unity consciousness. It is a self-sourcing ecosystem that enhances life on the planet. As we move further into the 2000’s, we are witnessing a global shift from a dying system into a newly forming world system of collaboration. |

| A note from the founder of Yoga Teacher Central |
|
|
|
Dear Soul Friend,
What's in your heart these days? I would really like to help yoga teachers and yoga therapists to work together with each other and/or with other practitioners (of Reiki, naturopathy, massage, shamanism, acupuncture, or any other techniques) to solve problems in their communities.
I recorded a 3-min audio inviting you to reply back to this newsletter with a "Yes" if you'd like to connect with others in your community and/or throughout the world.
You can determine what you want to offer and how. In a past newsletter, I presented an idea I've had. I explained, "The teaching model I wish to highlight this week has already proven to be uniquely effective. Remarkably, there is something built right into the model that people the world over want, but struggle to create: it builds supportive community almost without effort, in a simple but effective way. So what is this model? We might call it Applied Yoga Communities. I
predict that this teaching model will become ever-more common and sought
after."
But that's just one model. You may have another idea. But whatever your desire, perhaps you'd like to team up with others who have complementary skills.
If so, please reply "yes" to this newsletter.
If there is interest, we can figure out how to make the connections, and what you need to take the next step.
Hugs,
Shelly

Are you interested in planning a class that is aligned with the themes or energies of a moon phase, seasonal event, holiday or other observation? Here's a step-by-step approach for consideration:
- Clear your mind and prepare to be open and creative by practicing / meditating. During or afterward, choose your class intention. (See also: Strategic Class Planning: A Process for Inviting Inspiration.)
- Using your intention as a guide, explore teachings, curations and theme plans on the Seasonal Yoga & Calendars Hub.
- Choose a focus of asana and select a sequence. (Teaching toolkits include suggestions.)
- Invite students to a class that will be dedicated to a related theme. (Links to templates for newsletters and social media content on Member Home.)
- Create a class plan. (Option: create downloadable class notes using the Class Builder.)
- Set aside time before teaching for personal practice (no matter how brief) to ensure you are embodying the teachings. (Personal Practice & Study)
- Lead your students in an intentional class. (See also: Body Language, Authenticity & Presence.)

Guest host Craig Jardula and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to professor and author Norman Finkelstein about the Russian offering and why it’s far more productive than the kind of boilerplate “We stand with Israel” palaver coming from the likes of EU President Ursula von der Leyen."

All Wars Are Bankers Wars
"You never learned this in school, but every war can be traced back to these banks, which are notorious for robbing people of their wealth. All wars can be traced back to the private central bankers. American soldiers have fought and died in wars initiated for no other purpose than to force private central banking on nations that didn’t want them
- Central banks make money out of thin air by lending money at interest, and in the process, they drain a nation of its wealth
- The American Revolution was instigated by the King George III Currency Act, which forced the North American colonists to conduct business using Bank of England banknotes borrowed at interest
- The agenda of the central bankers is a simple one: It’s to rob people of their wealth and enslave them to this predatory system
- As long as private central banks are allowed to exist, there will be poverty and endless wars. The path to world peace lies in the abolishment of all private central banking everywhere, and a return to state-issued, value-based currencies that allow nations and people to become prosperous through their own labor and development and efforts"

The Top Ten Dumbest Things Empire Propagandists Ask Us To Believe
When
you live under an empire that’s held together by lies, you’ll be asked to
believe a lot of intensely stupid bullshit. Here are the top ten dumbest things
the propagandists of the US-centralized empire try to get us to swallow.
1.
That the US war machine has been surrounding its top two rivals China and
Russia with war machinery as an act of defense,
rather than an extremely provocative act of aggression.
2.
That the war in Ukraine simultaneously (A) was completely unprovoked, and (B)
just coincidentally happens to massively advance US strategic interests and
therefore should be funded as much as possible.
3.
That, okay, all those other wars were based on lies and resulted in disaster,
but that couldn’t possibly be the case for this current war.
4.
That your country’s foreign policy is determined by your official elected
government, even though the foreign policy remains the same regardless of who
is in office.
5.
That it is only by pure coincidence that your nation’s population remains in a
perpetual 50–50 deadlock which prevents anyone’s votes from changing the status
quo, and the status quo just happens to be perpetually frozen along lines that
hugely advantage the rich and powerful.
6.
That the only reason anyone could possibly be critical of the most dangerous
impulses of the world’s most powerful and destructive government is if they are
a secret agent working for the enemies of that government.
7.
That the western empire which spent the last two decades murdering Muslims in
the Middle East suddenly cares very deeply about the Muslims in China.
8.
That Putin invaded Ukraine solely because he is evil and hates freedom, and
that the empire is pouring weapons into Ukraine because it loves Ukrainians and
wants to protect their freedom and democracy.
9.
That foreign propaganda and influence operations are significantly manipulating
the way westerners think and vote, but the plutocrats who fully control all the
most influential platforms in the western world are not.
10.
That we need to be worrying about tyrannical enemies in Beijing and Moscow,
instead of tyrannical enemies a lot closer to home."

Thank you so much for your assistance. It was really helpful. I had a call with Yoga Alliance yesterday and explained to them the rationale behind [having training content on adapting for individual needs such as pain].
I also backed it up with the details you provided. They were happy with it and asked me to add a disclaimer [that teachers don't recommend treatment or diagnose - which we already include in our materials].
After I edited the document and resubmitted it, they approved it within hours! Thank you so so much! This is the happiest thing ever!

I was having trouble figuring out what I should download but I used the spreadsheet and just downloaded everything that was listed under "Foundations." It became life saving.
This is very good information. I look forward to continuing to grow my collection. Thank you for making my job as a studio owner so much less time consuming. I appreciate your continued support.

While my original intention was to access resources to prepare for a YTT, I have been using your site daily for self study and to level up my own knowledge/teaching. I’ve (only) been teaching for 7 years and even though it's something I do everyday, the more I learn, the more I realize just how little I know. Everyday, I learn something new and it makes me feel more confident teaching my classes safely.
I am running a workshop on Yoga & Stress (so timely and also inspired by your site!) and the handouts are perfect for students to take home. It’s interesting without being too heavy. As for all the information on the site — my goodness I just keep going further and further down the rabbit hole!
It’s disturbing to think that there are instructors out there with less experience/knowledge who are teaching and long-time instructors who haven’t upgraded their education, just teaching what they’ve always taught. Anyway, I really appreciate you and the invaluable resources you’ve made accessible to me and the yoga community at large. I am already a better teacher for it. Thank you.

From a trainer member and studio owner with extensive business, education, and training experience...
I have a manual for my 200hr YTT and wanted to add more information and structure it differently, but I was getting overwhelmed with the project. I found your website and was so surprised at the amount of information and knowledge that it made me smile so hard and it is absolutely worth the money I paid. The amount of work and research your team has put into this base is amazing and needed so THANK YOU for making my life easier. What would've taken me so long to put together, now I feel confident I can put together in a week. What also makes it so good is that you have also allowed me to edit, reprint and distribute without the hassle of copyright issues. This to me is priceless! So sincerely thank you and I am glad I invested in your products!

I have to say, the info is fantastic– as I’ve been looking through it, it is so comprehensive and amazing!! Yes, it gives us the support to teach and communicate with students in a way that brings out the best we can be. We can deliver the knowledge in a way so that they can be the best they can be, too… and to know it’s only the beginning. Thanks for all this.

From an experienced and knowledgeable teacher whose formal training has been in India and his practice and teaching has been primarily in the U.S...
As I'm working with these resources in a more in-depth manner, I remain blown away by their quality and detail. They align so well with all of my own resources, and I am having the *MOST* fun creating with it. As I'm creating more and more, I see how your promise of helping yoga teachers be their best is not just good marketing-- its something you are truly doing. Having help organizing this material has allowed me to present it with a maximum of efficacy for retention and understanding for students with such varied interests and backgrounds.
The resources that you provide fit together so nicely [and inspire me to share my love for mythology, chanting, and so on.] It feels a bit like I'm now prepared to defend a thesis -- able to speak extemporaneously on each of the many topics and then field questions as they come up dynamically... its just SO much fun.

Hi Shelly - I wanted to share with you that I heard from Yoga Alliance today for the first time about my Yoga School application. He said the outlines and information shared was so well done that just minor technical tweaks were needed. He said I made his job easy and that it was not "if" my application would be approved, it is just a matter of 'when'. I used the syllabus you offered with the purchase I made from Yoga Teacher Central with just some minor changes. I so appreciate the information you are making available to the yoga community and am beyond grateful.
