Event Cancelled: Honoring the Ancestors Workshop with Manju Sadarangani

  • Roots & River Yoga 17 West Potomac Street Brunswick, MD, 21716 United States (map)

This event has been cancelled due to low registration

For many of us, emotions surrounding ancestors can be complicated. Modern nuclear family structures, immigration and dislocation may mean that we are unaware of our larger familial histories, our collective strengths and struggles. As we come together to sit with our emotions of loss, we will honor our ancestors, both known and unknown. This meditative gathering will include a mirror meditation, mantra chanting to honor the souls of the departed, and meditation to connect with our infinity. We will conclude with a soothing puja allowing us to appreciate the gift of the present moment.

Participants are invited to bring with them a small mirror, a journal, and any objects which remind them of a departed beloved.

Cost: $50

Manju Sadarangani teaches Kundalini and Nidra yoga at Lighthouse Yoga Center in Washington DC. Bringing her journey as an artist and diplomat to her classes, her yoga practice is grounded in a desire for equity, justice, emotional and mental well-being. She brings a spirit of play, body positivity and radical self-love to classes.

Born in India to a yoga-teacher mother, Manju resists the problematic cultural appropriation surrounding yoga and is committed to authenticity in the studio. She connects deeply with the feminist Advaita philosophical foundations of yoga. She relishes creating a safe space for all using pranayam, color, naad, and mantra in her classes.

Manju invites you to consider yoga as a tool to recharge, resist and rebel.
