Celebrating International Day of Yoga
Jun 14, 2025 11:30am-4:00pm
In honor of the United Nations 11th annual International Day of Yoga, MA Center is hosting a free yoga and meditation event on Saturday, June 14th. All are welcome to attend.
“The purpose of Yoga is for our inner well-being. It does not belong to any particular faith or religion. It was passed on to us by the ancient seers for the well-being of humanity. Yoga helps us to reconnect with nature and eventually become one with God.” -Amma
This year's theme is: Yoga for One Earth, One Health.
Amma says: “Humankind and Nature are one. Knowing this truth through direct experience, the ancient rishis of India declared vasudhaiva kuṭuṁbakam ‘The world is one family.”

Program Details
- 11:30 am - 1:00 pm: IAM-20 class & refresher
IAM® is a short and simple approach to meditation that anyone can learn. The technique consists of energizing exercises - yogic postures, followed by meditation. It integrates movement, breath, sound, and visualization. IAM-20 is a modified version of the original IAM practice that takes 20 minutes per day.
- 1:00 - 2:00 pm Lunch - Please RSVP by Thursday, June 12, if you will be joining us for lunch at: https://forms.gle/iGBtnJ4qF66GywmZ7
- 2:00-300 pm Guided Nature Walk
Experience a silent nature bathing walk with facilitated activities to connect deeply with the present moment and the beauty of nature. Ease into a peaceful quiet inward stillness.
- 3:00-4 00 pm Amrita Yoga session
Amrita Yoga® focuses on Awareness with Heart-centered Intention. It transcends the physical asana practice to deepen self-awareness, and experience the interconnectedness of all life. Join us for an open yoga class with simple, gentle asanas (postures). No prior yoga experience or Amrita Yoga training necessary.

Use the call box on your left just before the outer gate to communicate that you need the gate opened to drive through. Then follow the road past the temple. The road continues on the right next to the temple gate, then curves left up the hill to the Main House. The puja room is just inside the front door to the house.
