Pradosh Vrat celebrates one of the most exciting legends in Yogi lore, Sumudra Manthan, the churning of the ocean. This story explains the inherent balance of creation maintained by opposites in all things. The devas (gods) and asuras (demons) band together to churn the ocean of milk in search of Amrita (divine nectar). In the process they unearthed Halahala, the deadliest of poisons. Shiva , the most powerful Yogi, steps in, drinks the poison to contain it and saves the world from its destructive powers.

In Yoga the worst "poison" is maya, the illusion that we are separate from our fellow beings and therefore can follow any direction our mind chooses to take. Shiva is there to show us how we can overcome this illusion and be of benefit to all beings.

New to Yoga? An avid practitioner? Either way this is the perfect opportunity to learn the incredible depth and breadth of what Yoga has to offer. Join us for a day of celebration with live music, amazing food, enlightening discourse and discussion, illuminating ceremony and insight! All uniting us in our true purpose as human beings. See you soon!
