Fondly addressed as Maa, not only by me, but by most of the sadhakas of The Yoga Institute, she is much more deserving Mof our love and respect. Her ever-smiling eyes, so pure, no pretense without any guise. Her reassuring words and firm hands urge us all to sustain against all odds. She is an inspiration who makes everyone believe that they have wings and can achieve things. She loves without reasons and that doesn't change with seasons. She accepts everything wholeheartedly even in the darkest of the hour, exhibiting supreme emotional strength and unmatched willpower. Reflecting Dr.Jayadeva’s absolute balanced state of mind, Hansaji demonstrated the same with elegance during the passing away of her life partner, Dr Saab, which was immediately followed by the birth of her grandson, Saatvik. Putting to practice all that she teaches, she stated that, “ Dr. Saab has moved on and we too have to continue ahead.” Wearing her charismatic smile, she promptly visited the newborn to bless him and stated that, “It is my duty to graciously welcome our next generation.” Only a lady who has been completely dedicated to Yoga way of life could have responded to such a challenging situation with so much love, compassion and understanding. The Yoga Institute takes the opportunity to honor Smt. Hansaji Jayadeva Yogendra on her 71st birthday. As we celebrate another year in the life of our beloved Maa and Yoga Guru, she continues to inspire millions across the globe to embark on this wonderful journey of Yoga way of living. We all know that we are just a drop in the ocean; however Maa, who is an epitome of Householder yogi, is an ocean in a drop. As we value all the birthday wishes that have been pouring in from all over the world, we have humbly attempted to acknowledge and highlight just a few of the love-filled expressions here. Happy Birthday Maa! We pray and wish that you keep showering us all with your love and wisdom. Pranee H. Yogendra Editor PEARLS OF WISDOM THE OCEAN LIFE & FAMILY How has Saatvik (your grandson) changed your life? IN A DROP Time and discipline used to rule my life earlier, now Saatvik rules it. I have become more flexible, expressive, and young again. Mujhe bhudhi nahin hone dega What will you do on a complete day off…no work at all? I would just sit and close my eyes to meditate or sing, listen to music, read and write. Though I hardly get this much time. If you can become invisible for a day what would you do? I would visit as many people as I can, who are suffering. Just sit next to them and give them love and energy. I will also spend some time sitting near a river or mountains. What is that one thing you want people to remember you about? Remember me for love, joy and care and while remembering, spread the same in the world. Which is your favourite song? I like classical music, so my all time favourite is Ja, tumse na boloon Kanhaiya. I remember singing this to my son, Patanjali when he was young, he would catch my Saree while dancing with me. I now sing for Saatvik. What is one wish that you would put on your “bucket” list? When you lead your life with a sense of duty, everything in life becomes bucket list worthy. Dr Saab always stressed doing with a sense of duty and not desire. When life is about acceptance, everything comes your way. Talking about Dr Saab, what is your fondest memory of him? (With a hearty and delightful laughter) When we finally decided to get married, I took Dr Saab's hand and kissed it lightly. He was embarrassed and bemused; I was overwhelmed and touched by his simplicity and purity. He always led such a life of simplicity. What is/are your spiritual practices? Doing my duty is one of the most important spiritual practices. It keeps me in my present. Whenever I get time, I close my eyes and sit still, I reach absorptive state readily. Being mindful and integrating simple Asanas in routine activities keeps my body and mind active. We all have heard our Pujya Maa Hansa ji speak eloquently and with compassion. One can sit and listen to her endlessly, spellbound by her divine presence. Here is yet another opportunity to scoop up her divine wisdom, albeit with a twist. To mark the occasion of her Birthday this month, we requested Hansa Ma to answer some of the questions. This time we threw a challenge of doing it in quick rapid- fire manner. Hansa Ma lapped up the challenge in her hallmark enthusiastic style. The result is nothing but marvel. I sat down spellbound as Hansa Ma spoke with child like eagerness, reflecting deeply on her experiences. An Exclusive Interview The answers punctuated with her wisdom were brief. Every moment of Smt. Hansaji felt life experiencing an entire ocean roaring in a drop. Indeed, brevity Jayadeva Yogendra is the soul of wit. Read on as Hansa Ma reflects on her life, her beloved by Neelam Vaswani students and on Yoga and The Yoga Institute.

Iyengar Ruth Ann Bradley is an Intermediate Junior II Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher. She is the founder and owner of the Yoga Institute of Broward in Cooper City, Florida, established in 1998. (www.yogabroward.com) Ruth falls in the ranKs of countless others that have turned to Iyengar yoga to find relief and healing after a life-changing event. A horse racing accident in 1985 left her with numerous broKen bones in her leg, anKle and foot. With the help of Iyengar yoga, she feels she was better equipped to deal with the 28 years of chronic pain that eventually led her to a Total AnKle Replacement in 2013. Ruth says: “My attraction to yoga started at a young age when I spotted one of those ‘pocKet booKs’ sold at the grocery store checKout lines. At the time, the booK cost maybe 25 cents and the photo on the front was a woman standing on her head. I convinced my mother to buy it for me and that is what started my yoga practice. It was the greatest gift she gave me, just as it is said that the inverted poses are the greatest gift to humanity.” In addition to her travels to India to study with the Iyengar family, she continues her studies with Colleen Gallagher, Mary Reilly and Manouso Manos.

    A SURVEY OF YOUTH YOGA CURRICULUMS A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Robin A. Lowry August, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Ricky Swalm, Advisory Chair, Kinesiology Michael Sachs, Kinesiology Catherine Schifter, Education Jay Segal, Public Health ii © Copyright By Robin A. Lowry 2011 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT A SURVEY OF YOUTH YOGA CURRICULUMS By Robin A. Lowry Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2011 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Ricky Swalm, Ph. D. Introduction: Yoga is increasingly recommended for the K-12 population as a health intervention, a Physical Education activity, and for fun. What constitutes Yoga however, what is taught, and how it is taught, is variable. The purpose of this study was to survey Youth Yoga curriculums to identify content, teaching strategies, and assessments; dimensions of wellness addressed; whether national Health and Physical Education (HPE) standards were met; strategies to manage implementation fidelity; and shared constructs between Yoga and educational psychology. Methods: A descriptive qualitative design included a preliminary survey (n = 206) and interview (n = 1), questionnaires for curriculum developers (n = 9) and teachers (n = 5), interviews of developers and teachers (n = 3), lesson observations (n= 3), and a review of curriculum manuals. Results: Yoga content was adapted from elements associated with the Yoga Sutras but mostly from modern texts, interpretations, and personal experiences. Curriculums were not consistently mapped, nor elements defined. Non-Yoga content included games, music, and storytelling, which were used to teach Yoga postures and improve concentration, balance, and meta-cognitive skills.

Assessment and Evaluation (AE) i Preamble The tradition of Yoga has always been passed on individually from teacher to student through oral teaching and practical demonstration. The formal techniques that are now known as Yoga are, therefore, based on the collective experiences of many individuals over many thousands of years. The particular manner in which the techniques are taught and practiced today depends on the approach passed down in the line of teachers supporting the individual practitioner. Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on establishing harmony between mind, body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature and a holistic approach to health and well- being. Yoga is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with ourselves, the world and Nature. It is an art and science for healthy living.
