We are delighted to announce that the Shiva Dancing School of Yoga (RYS-200) has received its registration from Yoga Alliance for training teachers in the Rajadhiraja/Ananda Marga style, which includes Karma (action), Bhakti (devotion) and Jiñana (knowledge). Ananda Marga means “Path of Bliss”, and this style includes over 40 asanas and mudras, self-massage, meditation, dance, diet, philosophy, anatomy, physiology, ethics, and kirtan (chanting). We will include techniques and asanas from other styles, as well as discussions on the Business of Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Safety inYoga, and Foreign Mission Yoga.
