Ware … A Fantastic 3 Days Workshopby Sabina Cesaronifrom Himalayan Yoga Institute of Florence - Italy, July 2011 Hari Om Usually it takes some time to think what better words could translate the depth , the beauty and the joyful sangha shared with others at the special presence of Swami Veda Bharati and Swami Niyamuktananda on the occasion of these 3 days workshop organized in July 2011 by Denise Martin -Harker director of the Aware Yoga centre. The centre had been offering classes of yoga and meditation, and been inviting well known teachers for seminars since years. Swami Nityamuktananda had been coming regularly to give her lectures and sharing teachings here. This 3 day seminar marked a special turning point, opening officially for workshops, seminars and teachings in the context of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition, in the presence and with the blessing of Swami Veda Himself. The location is in the city of Ware, not far from London and everything so perfectly organized by Denise and all her staff. What more could be said about the subject of these 3 days workshop....than its title: "Joy”! Well ... this was: everybody was really joyful inside, outside! while listening to the teachers and feeling this very experience of joy in their words and in their silent inner smiling. Swami Nityamuktananda taught about “Emotions ... such as "Happiness", "Joy ", "Love"; her words flew as the water element to which the fire of passion was added; there was fire in her words … held in a well known stable earth experience … finally spacing and fading into real silence. We do know her love for the great Five!! Swamiji, who seemed to have found a new source of strength in these British days; His lectures bringing (as usual) His seraphic calm continuum. Everybody was touched and gifted by this. During these days some people received another special gift: mantra initiation (given by Swami Nityamuktananda). There where many participants coming from “everywhere”, even old-timers who had met Swami Veda in Great Britain many years ago there was an friendly and alive atmosphere! The Aware -Yoga centre did a great job organizing everything, from lodging to excellent meals for everyone. Moreover Swamiji finally had some days far from the crowd..resting a little bit in a special cottage in the countryside with special friends !! Some curious photo gallery will witness this.. For that personal ..."not personal" that could be added … I would say, risking it sounds banal: the truth of Love is such an immense ocean and the more you give the more that joy will flow — which after all was the subject of these 3 days of full immersion in the Himalayan tradition teachings ... "Joy”! Editor’s Note:This event was organized by Denise Martin –Harker, director of the Aware Yoga centre in the United Kingdom.
