Integral Yoga Spring 200-Hour Teacher Training
January 28 – May 17, 2019
Taught by Kali Morse and Rashmi Galliano with a special guest workshop taught by Swami Asokananda. Anatomy and physiology curriculum taught by Jason Ray Brown.
This respected program has been developed and refined over 40-plus years. Its purpose goes beyond making a person a Yoga teacher; it provides an excellent foundation for an extensive knowledge of Yoga. Complete instruction in how to teach Integral Yoga® Level I is its basis. This includes:
- Hatha Yoga postures
- Pranayama (breathing practices)
- Meditation and deep relaxation
Considerable attention is given to many other aspects of Yoga so that all graduates have both a practical and a philosophical understanding of the full scope of its teachings and practices. Among the subjects are:
- Anatomy and physiology
- Yogic diet and nutrition
- Raja Yoga (psychology of mind)
- Karma Yoga (selfless service)
- Bhakti Yoga (devotion)
- Jnana Yoga (self-analysis)
- Sanskrit language
Participants also learn how to organize and initiate classes for professional groups and organizations. Finally, teacher trainees will refine and deepen their personal practices of asanas, pranayama, and meditation.
The Integral Yoga® system of Hatha Yoga is utilized, along with other lifestyle changes, by Dr. Dean Ornish in his book Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease.
The training includes a weekend at beautiful Ananda Ashram in Monroe, N.Y., where you will be immersed in nature, yoga, meditation, and superb vegetarian meals as you experience the traditions of ashram life that have been at the heart of Integral Yoga for many decades.

Judge weighs bid to dismiss child sex abuse claim against Cosby
SANTA MONICA – Lawyers for comedian Bill Cosby and a woman accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was 15 faced off in a California courtroom on Thursday over a defense bid to dismiss her lawsuit for reasons related to the statute of limitations.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Craig Kaplan said at the end of the hearing he would take arguments from both sides "under submission" and render a written decision at an undisclosed date.
Cosby, 78, lost a previous bid to fend off the same lawsuit on similar grounds last year, a fact Kaplan noted during Thursday's proceedings. He added that Cosby's latest challenge to the case "just seems like a second bite at the same apple."
Cosby's accuser, Judy Huth, now in her 50s, sued the entertainer in December 2014, alleging that he plied her with alcohol and molested her during an encounter at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles in 1974.
Cosby's attorneys have called Huth's account a fabrication, asserted that her case stemmed from a failed extortion attempt and argued that she waited too long, under the statute of limitations, to bring a case.
Huth is one of more than 50 women who have come forward over the past two years to publicly accuse Cosby of rape and other forms of sexual abuse. Most involve incidents said to have occurred a decade ago or more, too far back to be criminally prosecuted or litigated in civil court.
But authorities in Pennsylvania charged Cosby in December with sexually assaulting a woman in 2005. At least nine other women are suing Cosby for defamation, charging they were smeared by his public assertions that their allegations were false.
The comedian has acknowledged marital infidelity but denied ever engaging in non-consensual sexual behavior.
Huth brought her case under a California law allowing victims of childhood abuse to sue beyond the statute of limitations if, within the past three years, they have realized they suffered from psychological damage that previously was repressed.
Cosby's lawyers have countered that Huth tried to sell her story to the tabloids nearly a decade ago, belying her claim of a more recent discovery of psychological harm. They say Huth sued only after trying to extort Cosby for hush money.
Cosby's lawyers also argued that Huth lacked the required certification from mental health professionals to support her claims. But the judge said her pleadings were already found sufficient in that respect. -Reuters

Potato Salad is such a family favourite. It is simple, it is tasty and it keeps well. As such, I have consumed a large amount of in the past month while on various camping trips during the last of the summer-style days.
Roughly dice the potatoes into cubes, around 2 cm x 2 cm, keeping the skins on. Place in a saucepan filled with cold, salted water and bring to the boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce to simmer. Allow to cook, until you can just press a fork through. You do not wish them to go too soft lest they fall apart. This should take no more than 15-20 minutes. Drain once complete. If your potatoes finish ahead of schedule, drain and place back in the saucepan with the lid on to keep them warm while you complete the remaining steps.
Meanwhile, place your eggs in a small saucepan with just enough water to cover your eggs. Bring the water to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Once boiled, place a lid on the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Allow to sit for 12 minutes before transferring to a colander, and running under cold water. Remove the shells from your eggs and cut into quarters.
To make the sauce, combine one part Salad Cream with two parts sour cream, and one teaspoon of wholegrain mustard in a small bowl. Add the chopped eggs to the potato, and pour the sauce over the top, and stir gently to combine. Garnish with some roughly chopped chives.
Original recipe sourced from the Family Archives.

By Derek Penwell
It's time.
"Don't ask, don't tell," the official position on sexual orientation in the military ended September 20, 2011.
President Obama announced that same-gender couples ought to have the right to marry on May 9, 2012.
Connecticut. Iowa. Maine. Massachusetts. New York. Vermont. The District of Columbia.
Joined on November 6, 2012 through public ballot referenda by Maryland, New Hampshire, and Washington as states that recognize the right of same-gender couples to marry.
The winds of change.
All over. Even in Kentucky. Yeah, you heard me correctly. Kentucky. Things are changing. On the front page of the Louisville Courier Journal this morning is this article about the way small towns in Kentucky are looking to enact legislation to make LGBTIQ people part of the enumerated classes protected against discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations. It's a big enough deal that even USA Today picked it up.
The culture is shifting.
It's time.
Even in the Church
Much of the church is shifting, too. The ordination ban on gays and lesbians has been falling.
In August 2009 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America decided "to accept gay clergy in sexually active monogamous relationships."[1]
On May 10, 2011, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) voted to allow the openly gay and lesbian ministers the right of ordination.
On October 8, 2012, I wrote:
Over the course of the last three weeks, three regions of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) have voted to remove sexual orientation and gender identity as obstacles to ordination: the Northeastern region, the Indiana region, and most recently, the Kentucky region (you can read more about the Indiana and Kentucky decisions). In Indiana the resolution passed by 70%; in Kentucky the vote was 82%; and in the Northeastern region fully 87% voted in favor of rewriting the ordination guidelines more inclusively. Because of the heavy concentration of Disciples in the Midwest, the votes in Indiana and Kentucky may be interpreted as leading indicators of the kind of movement afoot on the issue of the full inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, and Queer people in the life and ministry of the church.
It's time.
No. It's past time for mainline Protestant churches to stand up and speak prophetically about justice, and what that looks like for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer people who've found themselves repeatedly excluded by the church.
So many LGBTIQ people and those who love them want, if not a way back to the church, then at least the simple satisfaction of knowing that there are some churches, some denominations willing to open their arms and love the people Christ loved … willing to say, "We're sorry. You should have been able to expect better from us."
Mainline Protestant denominations and the churches they represent need to take the lead in this fight for justice. Instead, we often seem much more comfortable letting the culture move ahead, providing us enough political cover to do the things justice demanded of us all along—often long after important things have been decided without us.
A colleague of mine asked the other day, "When is the church going to start acting like the moon that helps to shape the waves, rather than the surfer who just rides them?"
It's time.
If you don't agree that LGBTIQ folks ought to enjoy the same welcome and consideration as everyone else, if you think the fact of their sexual orientation or gender identity is a sin, I'm not trying to persuade you otherwise. I don't have time to roll that particular rock up the hill, Sisyphus.[2]
No. I'm writing to those people who agree that it's time, but who just haven't, for whatever reason, found a way or the medium in which to say so. We need to find our voice.
Mainline denominations need to do this because it's the right thing to do. As people who claim to pursue the justice envisioned by the reign of God, we do it because that's who we are. We shouldn't need any other reason.
However, if that's not enough, consider the lives of our children.
I was at the prayer breakfast with some legislators last February morning in the state capitol in Frankfort. Lobby Day. We went looking for fairness for all God's children.
No more bullying.
No more being kicked out of a restaurant because you look "too gay."
No more getting fired because of sexual orientation or gender identity.
We need laws to protect people from the bad stuff society too often tolerates.
Anyway. Everything was nice and comfortable—eggs, biscuits, grits, coffee. Cheerful conversation. Then, a man in a leather jacket and a crew-cut walked in.
Michael Aldridge, director of the Kentucky ACLU, came over to me and said, "That's Travis Campbell—the father of Miranda Campbell, the girl who killed herself 3 weeks ago in Hopkinsville after being bullied. She was fourteen years-old. She came out as bisexual in sixth grade. She couldn't take the bullying anymore."
I got up and went over to Mr. Campbell. He seemed shaken—and really, who wouldn't? I said, "I'm Derek Penwell. I'm glad to meet you, and I appreciate you coming here today. I have a fourteen year-old myself. I'm so sorry for your loss."
He looked at me with tears in his eyes, and he said, "I just found out about this yesterday. I had to come. I don't want anymore children to have to die, just because they can't figure out a way to love the people society tells them it's ok to love. We need everybody to help us put a stop to this."
He looked at me standing there in my clerical collar, and I could see in his eyes what he'd left unsaid, "Especially people like you, and the churches you represent. You all have to do something."
It's time.

- I don't mean that working with these folks to come to a different understanding of LGBTIQ people isn't important. I just no longer labor under the misapprehension that blog posts are the way to do it. ↩

Recently on a family trip to the 30A area of the Florida panhandle we were visiting one of our favorite local restaurants to take advantage of the abundance of fresh seafood not found in the land-locked state of Tennessee. That night at dinner we had a couple of nice surprises:
(1) We ran into some friends that were also visiting the same restaurant and staying in the area (isn't it cool when you are hundreds of miles away from your stomping ground and you see someone you think looks familiar and when you get closer, you realize "Hey, that IS you…!")
(2) Our daughter loves salmon and catfish but isn't much of a seafood fan so she went the "turf" route of "surf n turf" and chose the filet medallions with red wine reduction. Served with mashed potatoes, she said it was the best steak she ever had and didn't stop raving about her dinner, even when we were back home in Tennessee.
So…..we tried it at home and I must say, the results were pretty darn successful! Tonya picked up some nice filets from a local butcher (we usually stick to rib-eyes or New York strips so Filet Mignon is a treat!) and we had a bottle of red wine ready to go. We rubbed the filets with cracked black pepper and ghost pepper sea salt (from Gulf Coast Saltworks out of Panama City, FL) and
then seared on the grill to lock in the juices, finishing the meat on indirect heat. Served with mashed potatoes (the reduction makes a fantastic gravy!) and grilled asparagus, our daughter said it was "almost" as good as what she had at the restaurant but we all agreed it was an instant house-hold favorite! Good enough to lick the cast-iron skillet!
Labor Day Filet with Red Wine Reduction
3-4 10-12 oz Filets, seared in pan or on grill and cooked to desired wellness and set aside.
2 cups red wine
1-2 tbsp finely chopped shallots
5 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
Start by sauteing the shallots in 1 tbsp butter and any juices from the filets in a heavy skillet over low to medium heat until tender and translucent. Add the 2 cups of red wine, bring to a simmer and reduce by half. Stir in the remaining butter 1 tbsp at a time until the reduction is smooth and syrupy. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour the reduction the steaks and serve immediately.

It has been an underwhelming 2013 campaign for the Titans' Chris Johnson. With only three games left this season, Johnson has 774 rushing yards and only four touchdowns. Since signing the lengthy four-year, $53.5 million contract extension in September 2011, the 28-year-old running back has experienced a gradual statistical decline and Tennessee may be done with him. Here's what Ian Rapoport had to say earlier today:
What @MikeSilver & I reported on #NFLGameDay: Big changes coming for Titans. Munchak coaching for his job. CJ2k expected to be cut after '13— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 8, 2013
And here's another quote regarding CJ from @InsideNFLMedia:
Also from @MikeSilver: Titans RB Chris Johnson "almost certainly gone after this season with his big salary and lack of production."— NFL Media PR (@InsideNFLMedia) December 8, 2013
Next year, Johnson will be 29 years old. He could have another couple years in the tank, if he's paired with a decent offensive line. If you were an NFL GM, would you take a chance on CJ?

Libya back in the fold
Libya is back in Western favor.
Condoleezza Rice arrived in Tripoli today to meet with Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, the first visit in more than half a century by a U.S. secretary of state to the North African nation.
Apparently, no one told Rice that she is his new boo.
From CNN:
After their meeting, Gadhafi, who once called Rice "Leeza ... my darling black African woman," was hosting a dinner for Rice.
Last year in an interview with Arabic TV station al Jazeera, Gadhafi suggested that Rice ran the Arab world, with which he has sometimes had stark differences.
"I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders," he said. "I love her very much because she's a black woman of African origin."
Just last week, Italy signed an agreement to pay Libya $5 billion as part of a deal to resolve colonial-era disputes. Libya is the first African country to be compensated by a former colonial country.
From BBC News:
...Berlusconi explained that $200m would be paid annually over the next 25 years through investments in infrastructure projects, the main one being a coastal motorway between the Egyptian and Tunisian borders.
There will also be a colonial-era mine clearing project.
As a goodwill gesture, Italy also returned an ancient statue of Venus, the headless "Venus of Cyrene", which had been taken to Rome in colonial times.
The settlement was a "complete and moral acknowledgement of the damage inflicted on Libya by Italy during the colonial era", the Italian prime minister said.
"In this historic document, Italy apologises for its killing, destruction and repression against Libyans during the colonial rule," Col Gaddafi said for his part...
What a difference an image change makes...

What's a tampon?
Your guide to pads and tampons

Thank you for the website! It really helps!
Tampons do not hurt, they are just cotton things. I don't use them, though, I don't know why, I just like pads better.
Hello ;
This site is very cool and nice =D
Pads are really better for , like adventures , or for school ,
They really comfort me better than tampons (although i didnt use them ) but tampons need more work than pads so pads are best for me and i dont feel it when i put one .
Deema :)
A tampon is a cotton material that stops the blood from escaping. I don't reccommend you use them on your first or last few days, or while sleeping at night. It doesn't hurt unless you put it in wrong. Use the ones that come with an applicator first. Don't flush it. Personally, I preffer tampons because you don't know they are there all the time.
i think pads are better than tampon
A tampon is a small cotton cylinder like thing with a string hanging from it.
It collects blood from escaping and making a mess on your underwear.I don't think that I can explain to you how to insert a tampon but to remove it you pull on the string very slowly and gently until it is out of your body.I once stole one of my mothers tampons and tried it out. I couldn't find the hole to insert it very easily but soon found it . I tried walking around with the tampon inside of me. You really can't feel it. I felt weird all over so I took it out.
i personally like tampons way better than pads. i don't like pads because they kind of smell and i don't like feeling wet and i feel like i have a diaper on. i am an active girl and a swimmer so i really like tampons.
I dont have my period yet but i am really active with cheering so i might use them!
I havn't started my period yet but I have a question. This is embarrasing, but which hole do you put the tampon in and when you do find it, it seems like the tampon would be to big to fit in your hole.
I havn't gotten my period yet, but most of my friends have told me that pads are better than tampons.
Hello ;D
I read the Guide to Tampons,Tampons may cause illness, sometimes you cant find the String and it is not very easy , now i'm sure Pads are better,comfortable and easier to use than Tampons.
DeEmA :)
I personally use tampons as they are more comfortable for me. you don't even know there there sometimes if you insert them correctly. They will not make you sick if you take them out and replace them with a fresh one every 2-3 hours.
i hope jemma gets a chance to answer my ? alright holla
Hey Pink Locker girls,
I checked on a couple questions some of you asked:
1. Where do tampons go?
A tampon goes into the vagina, which is different from the urethra, where pee comes out.
2. Can tampons make you sick?
Tampons need to be changed every 4 to 6 hours. Leaving one in too long — like all day or all night — puts you at risk for a rare but very dangerous illness called toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
Hope that helped!
Think pink!
hey there...
from my personal experience, i prefer pads. i find them more comfortable and it covers a large area of your undies so leakage is rare. you need to change pads more often than tampons and you can't really go swimming in them but pads are a good option for those who aren't doing much physical activity or going out!
i use pads, cuz iv never really used a tampon, but i dont like tampons, cuz ive never been able to get one in correctly
Hi i really like ur website i have a question: when u get cold why in the world do some chests get cold and u have these embrassing bumbs? and y do u get bumbs on ur breats? PLZ answer me! im full with questions and not a lot of answers
P.S u didnt answer my other question! ttyl
umm...i don't have my period yet but i want to try a tampon to know how it feels ahead of time, but i'm too scared! what should i do?!
they are not super uncomfortable. actually, they are perfect for sporty girls like me who are always at practices, at games and outside running around and everything
i think pads and tampons are both good, a tampon is better for active girls like me if you arent very active, a pad is good enough
I tried to insert a tampon once and it just hurt maybe i was puting it in wrong. I like pads the best though and i have not gotten my period yet but i am scared.
Okay Tampons do not hurt. When you first use them look at the directions on applying them first it's on the sheet of paper inside the box. When you first use them make sure you buy slender tampons until you get used to the transition from pads to tampons. hope the imfo. will help.
Tampons don't hurt beleive me you just have to wait for you period so your vagina will open up easier and won't resist the tampon and so the tampon won't pop right back out.
A few girls have written in to say they're concerned about Toxic Shock Syndrome. I just wanted to give an explanation of what that is.
Here's how a doctor friend of mine described it: Toxic Shock Syndrome is a rare but serious illness caused by bacteria (a kind of germ).
Tampons can cause this illness, but remember that it's rare and most girls/women never get sick from using tampons. To avoid it, take these steps:
1)Wear a tampon that is the least absorbent for your needs.
2)Change your tampon every few hours, even if the flow is light. Wear pads to bed.
hey I started my period last year in winter so i started wit pads. they dont hurt but during the summer im a competitive swimer soo wat was i supposed to do? i tried a tampon and trust me they DO NOT hurt! you cant even feel it if your an on the go girl use a tampon they r quick and easy to use trust me
I don't have my you-know-what either. I might get mine soon though! :D And pads are sometimes not the best thing to us if they r 2 big 4 u.
i have a small question i'm the girl who is pinklockergirlchama i just have a question do you hafta wear a tampon when swimming because i'm in love with swimming and so scared of tampons just inserting them!
I LOVE PINKLOCKER GIRLS! ITS WHERE I CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT PBB PUBERTY,BRAS AND BOYS IS THAT RIGHT? OH WELL YALL ARE AWESOME AND JUST LIKE NORMAL GIRLS! WELL ttyl!
I am very happy to answer your question. A tampon and a pad are different. A tampon is a cotton stick that you stick up there when you have your period during swimming, sports, etc. A pad is just a flat peice of cotton that you stick to your underwear. I recomend that you wear pads more often and get the ones with wings. ( Don't want the pad sliding down your pants.) I hope I helped you out! Enjoy!
hey about the question do you have to wear a tampon when your on your period and swimming the answer sadly is yes! or dont swim at all and dont worry about inserting them it might take you a couple of trys but you will get it :)
I like pads way better
i have an answer to all your questions tampons are these cotton cylinder-shaped things they have a string so when you need to take it out you take the string out of your vagina[THEY DO NOT HURT GIRLS!]
pads are these soft things that go inside your panties and they do not hurt either so when your blood comes out all you have to do is take the pad off, wrap it in toilet paper, then throw it in the trash can. DONT FLUSH TAMPONS OR PADS DOWN THE TOILET THEY WILL MAKE A HUGE MESS!
I personally have not started my period so I have no idea of how to work these things. But from the articles i have read....It seems as if pads are better for me because they are easier to change as for tampons, they require a lot of work but as you can tell the one with less work has less protection and the one with the most work can give you the best protection!!!
I am 13 and have had my period since i was 9....personally i like tampons because you can be more active in them. With pads they will usually give you a humunguous weddgie!!! for those girls who havent started but try out pads and tampons...i recomened stop trying them out because they will hurt because your vagina is dry. And its all about opinion, you might like pads better but they make me feel like im wearing a diper! well hope that helps!
what are some tips i can give to my friend she is on her period and she is TERRIFED of tampons! she doesnt know where to put them and stuff im only 9 years old and i dont know but i really want to help my 9 years old period girl friend, so send some answers and i will try to read the tips over the summer! thx 4 helping [if u did!}
For a few days, I got just barely any blood. Now I'm wearing a pad EVERY day and there's STILL no blood. I know school was 7 hours a day,and I should have STILL been changing it, but my teacher didn't let me "go". But now it's summer time and I'm going to YMCA summer camp at my old school I went to until 4th grade when they moved us to an intermediate school. I hope you can feel my grief.
i like this site it helps a lot
I didn't have my period yet but moms are really helpful. They will understand. They have been our age too so give them a chance. I know it's embarassing at first but they give you the best advice they can all the time. Anyway I don't think I am that scared of getting my period. I just don't get it! Your vagina opens??!
Just wanted to say, I think this website is very awesome. I wish I had something like this growing up and I think it's great that it is here for the girls who are just hitting puberty and going through those changes. I just remember being like 11 or 12 and desperatly wanting my period lol, can't say the same now. I'm just really glad this is here for all to see and get good advice, especially if some feel they can't talk with their moms. Thank you PLS for being there for us girls!!!!
Tampons I really use a lot I'm active in cheering so they really help.
tampons are good for swimming and sports, but the cons are that they are hard to use at first. some girls find it painful, but they're really not if you use it correctly. pads are really easy to use and anyone can use one without having to practice alot, but they can bulge and feel weird in your underpants at first since you are not used to it.
ummmmmmm pads feel like you are sitting in "it" if ya know what i mean.
ok' tampons are cotton things that go in gour vagina to stop blood from comming out and since it does go inside you i am going to answer some questions like can a tampon get lost inside you? the answer is no a tampon can't get stuck and for more info on tampons and your period you can go to beinggirl.com and if you want to know how to insert a tampon you can go to this link it is an instructional video on how to put the tampon in. http://beingirl.com/en_US/yourperiod_inserttampon.jsp i hope this helps!
I've literally just started my period and i use pads. not to put anyone off but i find the whole tampon thing strange as in... yes where do you put it??? id find it hard to 'find where' so i stick to pads.
use pads first and after a while you can use tampons. they don't hurt! they're cotton! they take practice, but they are great! use tampons when swimming and change them every 4 or so hours! I like pads though!
hi im in cheerleading. i stunt and tuble and i dont want to wear a taampond but it is hard with a pad HELP!
Do you have to take a tampon out when you need to "go"? What happens if you go with it in? And, for an emergency situation, what if the string breaks and you can't get the tampon out?

Tuned Droves
Eric Baus
Octopus Books, 2009
Eric Baus's buzz is the kind that jars the latent sounds of life. The experience of reading Tuned Droves begins as if you're standing a few feet from a bee hive and proceeds to curl up right inside of it, close as possible to the bees, the tiny hairs on the bees, the little lungs of the bees: "Wake up a little more, Ding. Be still, and hear a bee breathing." [Dara Cerv]
A Million in Prizes
Justin Marks
New Issues, 2009
Justin Marks's A Million in Prizes communicates with us on the terms we know but cannot speak ourselves. He plucks so clearly from the life that floats perpetually in front of him. The small things are the biggest, the common the extraordinary: "The fact that....there / are no root canals expected makes me smile with all of my soul. / My love is strong and will float atop my chest forevermore." [Dara Cerv]
