Haverford College (Pennsylvania) Screening a Smashing Success!

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

I am so happy to report that Friday night’s “Living Yoga” event at Haverford College was a smashing success.

There were about 125 people who attended. The auditorium was very comfortable (they recently renovated it) and the picture and sound quality first class. Marianne Sutin started the evening with beautiful flute music. We viewed the film, then Professor Gangadean moderated an audience question/answer discussion with Swami Ramanandaji (president, Integral Yoga Institute of New York who is also featured in the film), Hari Zandler and Rene Ragan who all were wonderful.

Everyone loved the film and it was an awesome networking event for those connected with Haverford, the Philly Yoga and interfaith communities.

Attending were representatives from at least 6 area Yoga centers and from at least 3 interfaith organizations who helped spread the word to their contacts.  Special thanks to the Common Ground Interfaith Fellowship who set up a tea/snack table.

Thank you for your love, support and ideas for this event.

Much love,
Sam (Satyam) Rossitto
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Today, an estimated 25 million Americans practice Yoga as a means for managing stress, promoting health and creating a more meaningful life. Swami Satchidananda was one of the first Yoga masters to bring the ancient teachings of Yoga to the West and popularize its philosophy and practices. His role in the birth of the modern movement is chronicled in this hour-long documentary that informs, entertains and provokes self-inquiry. The distinctive teachings he brought with him blend the physical discipline of Yoga, the spiritual philosophy and the interfaith ideas he pioneered.  The role of spirituality in wellness and the link between inner peace and outer peace is explored in the film by featured artists and medical experts.
