On Sunday, February 2, we held the First Meeting of URBAN YOGA<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Although it is the first meeting, baptized by Professor Iskra Boh\u00f3rquez<\/a><\/strong> With this name, it is not the first effort made by the students and teachers of the school Ashtanga Yoga Maracay<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 to convene and bring together yoga practitioners from the cities of the region.

This event is preceded by 30 Open Guided Ashtanga Yoga Classes, for 3 consecutive years and the community Yoga work of the Professor Graciela Santos<\/a><\/strong> with the yoga group of Green Dot<\/a><\/strong> which meets every Sunday.

Teachers Iskra and Graciela envision URBAN YOGA as a traveling monthly gathering where all yoga practitioners from the region's diverse groups and schools come together to recognize, identify, and share in community while building civic kinship.<\/p>\r\n

Talk on the Philosophy of Yoga in Everyday Life<\/h2>\r\n

The meeting began with a chat<\/a><\/strong>, where Iskra spoke of the Urban Yogi, the human being who lives in the city, unlike the ancient Indian yogis who isolated themselves in caves and mountains. Urban Yogis, even though they live in the city, study the teachings and practice the ancient techniques of self-development and spiritual realization proposed by the philosophical traditions of India.<\/p>\r\n
