"Yogas citta vrtti nirodhah"
(the restraint of the modifications of the mind-stuff is Yoga)
--from The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Sri Swami Satchidananda

Our fundamental and ultimate goal:

Dharma-rooted Yoga: Yoga Classes in Hawaii (See Visit Us)

(August 30, 2026)

Aloha, my yoga mates. How are you?

While as many as 10 typhoons have hit Japan in a single month, the Hokuriku region once again suffered flooding this past weekend from an intense rainfall band. Damage from mudslides and floods caused by melting glaciers in the mountains between Nepal and China looks set to worsen.

 

Yesterday, flood advisories were issued for the area around Grand Canyon National Park and for Phoenix in the U.S. And now, South of Hawaii, several tropical depressions are also showing ominous movements, and their paths are being closely monitored.

This year’s El Niño has turned into a “monster” and shows no signs of letting up. Not only those concerned about environmental pollution, but everyone on Earth needs to wake up as soon as possible from the illusion that humans can dominate and control Mother Nature.

This week, we will explore the final teaching of the Niyamas from the Yoga Sutras—Isvara (the Supreme Being) / Pranidhana (self-surrender)—and, while reflecting on what it means to “harmonize with the laws of the universe,” let’s engage in practices to calm the mind and strengthen the core.
