Until April 27 we are holding all classes at our current location, 66 West 39th St. Please come bless our current space with an "attitude of grattitude" as we say goodbye to the little yellow sanctuary.

We are very pleased to invite you to join us on April 28 - the first day of classes at our new permanent home. See you there! Our new address: PRANA MANDIR Yoga Studio 4 West 43rd Street - fifth floor, NYC

What has inpired our move?
A graceful space, all ours. Between 5th and 6th Avenues, but nearer to
5th. Conveniently located close to Grand Central but still only a few blocks from all Times Square trains.

This handsome building houses several floors of non-profit organizations. Once owned by Columbia Universtity, now owned by a church, it is a NYC historical landmark.

We are constructing a unique, Yoga haven with earth-friendly bamboo floors, recycled glass tiles, even eco-freindly paints. Come enjoy our next incarnation.

A seminar on leading edge research into sexuality. With Ranjan Saturday, May 17 Hosted by Michele Risa at a location to be anounced shortly. You may register through PRANA MANDIR

Traditionally we have thought that the purpose of sex is reproduction or recreational pleasure. The latest research in neuroscience reveals it's not so!

In a sexual relationship, each partner's brain sends "broadcasts." Over time they delete the sub-dominant neural pathways of their partner, replace them with their own dominant neural pathways and work in tandem. The actual physical structure of the brain is transformed. The neural stability tha results creates the deepest feelings of satisfaction. According to the neuroscientist James Prescott failing to achieve this neural stability is the cause of promiscuity. The implications are profound: we may need to revamp our sex lives if we want to be happy.

That our thoughts and feelings could affect our health used to be a perspective of the mystic and looney fringe. Since Descartes, educated thinking has been that the immaterial could not act on the material. But quantum physics and cell biology has changed all that. For example, matter is now understood to be energy, just the same as thought is. So it is not so far-fetched to think of them acting on each other. For example, in The Biology of Belief Bruce Lipton has shown that a cell has receptors for invisible fields like sound and thought not just for material things like pharmaceuticals. What is more, genetic determinism has been destroyed by his data. He has mapped the mechanisms through which the cell can be re-programmed to transcend our genetics. Hard science now gives us the physiological basis through which visualisation impacts our body. He has shown it is through the ability of the cell to receive mental signals.

For the student of yoga, the workshop will provide tools to augment the benefit you get from your daily practice. For example, most students are told to visualise. Here you learn how to train your imagination so you can visualise better. Improving the clarity of the sights and sounds you can imagine compacts the time and increases the effectiveness of your daily practice.

Come join us and learn a whole repertoire of skills for greater awareness, greater energy and a stronger immune system. Come learn to taste life more sweetly!

The yoga tradition speaks about an ethical value that is particularly relevant for the 21st century: Ahimsa - translated as non-harming or non-injury. Ahimsa challenges us to look at our own tendencies and the choices we make in our lives. Ahimsa is also a lens with which to view the journey of human evolution and our sacred relationship to the earth's environment.

Inspired by the teachings of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras dating back to the 2nd century, this workshop opens a door to applying yogic ethical values to our yoga practice and our life. The dynamic Anusara Yoga style combined with the reflective study of classical.yoga teachings aligns us with our own unique expression of Ahimsa - and brings us into the heart of living our yoga.
