The Roots of Yoga
Cultivating Peace and A Revolution in Consciousness
Hari OM and Welcome
We all want to live healthy, happy, and useful
lives. In a world which sometimes seems hopelessly
divided by religion, politics, economics, nationality,
and race, Yoga provides a powerful counterforce,
always emphasizing our essential unity.
In this guide we’ve introduced programs and
community opportunities that aim to keep this
essential unity in the foreground. We will explore a landscape of
Yoga that is both intellectually comprehensive and spiritually
fulfilling. In line with our past programming, we will continue to go
beyond the surface layer of Yogic philosophy to reach the roots of
our own practices which grow much like the roots of other faith
traditions.
Want to learn to steady the mind? Wish you could deepen your
practices or even study in our small groups with our leading
instructors? We have several noteworthy options to choose from,
including our new “By Request” offerings — instruction when it’s
convenient for you. For those that prefer or require more flexible
learning options, many of our classes will be available via WEBINAR.
Please keep in mind that this guide only covers our major
programs for the upcoming year. To receive the most up-to-date
information on our monthly offerings please join our email list, view
the Yoga Life Center website, and follow us on social media.
The teachers and staff of the Yoga Life Center wish you all Peace
and Joy; Love and Light, and a year filled with the benefits of
Yoga.

took to a direct experience with the Absolute.
We will explore the stories of the following individuals as
well as become familiar with the sacred texts they appear
in. These are wonderful, engaging stories filled with drama,
wonder, and wisdom:
Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita — the role of doubt, fear,
and love in spiritual growth;
Nachiketas in the Katha Upanishad – how awareness of the
transitory nature of life and courage develop insight and
spiritual liberation;
Job in the Bible – what suffering, feelings of helplessness,

The Guru Gita
A Manual for Yoga Apprenticeship
Taught by Reverend Jaganath Carrera
Just as an unlit candle can only receive light from one
that is lit, spiritual wisdom is awakened through a
relationship with one who is spiritually
enlightened.
The above quote comes from the revered classic of
sacred wisdom in the East, the Guru Gita or Song of the
Guru. Dating from between the 6th and 8th centuries,
CE, the Guru Gita presents a message that is both
practical and pertinent to today’s world.
The Guru Gita reveals the inner workings of spiritual
apprenticeship and presents the guru/disciple
relationship as a dynamic path that leads to a fulfilling
life as well as Self-realization. As such, the Guru Gita
pays homage to the spiritual potential in us all.
Its vision of human beings as channels of Divine
Compassion reveals the transforming power of spiritual
apprenticeship, a path that leads to the end of suffering
and to Self-realization.
Through powerful meditations, heart-opening
visualizations, and soaring imagery, the Guru Gita
transports us to a world overflowing with sacred
significance, a world where our spiritual awakening
is a reality within our reach.
Yoga Life Society ¤ 10th Anniversary ¤ 2006 –2016
This course is for anyone
interested in knowing more about
the vital role that apprenticing has
played in yoga for over 3,000 years.
You need not have a guru to attend
or even be looking for one. This
program is about the beauty,
power, and effectiveness of
wisdom being passed on, not by
books, but from one human being
to another.

SENIOR YOGA LIFE INSTRUCTORS
Yoga Life Center is delighted to
introduce our esteemed senior
Instructors, now available for
Programs By Request
Reverend Krishna Boscardin
Reverend Krishna, RYT 500, has been
intensely and devotedly teaching Hatha
Yoga and Yoga philosophy since 2001. He
blends insight and intuition to provide learning
experiences that are suitable for a wide range of
students. As a devoted student and teacher in
Yoga, his highest purpose is to promote health in
the body, peace in the mind, and a deeper
happiness from within.
Reverend Abhaya Cordova
Reverend Abhaya is a Master Energy
Therapist, Massage therapist, Yoga
instructor and Theta Healing Teacher. She
offers a spiritual perspective to bodywork with an
extensive understanding of the human energy field.
Abhaya's philosophy is to support the healing
process by clearing old thoughts and patterns so the
spirit can reveal its true nature, which is peace. The
body has the innate ability and wisdom to heal
itself; we must clear the way to allow that healing to
take place.
Reverend Narani Lorelli
Reverend Narani, RYT 500, is Reverend
Jaganath’s personal assistant. She
received her Yoga Teacher Certification from
Starseed Yoga Montclair in 2006, and went on to
study extensively the Integral Yoga of Swami
Satchidananda and the teachings of His disciple
Guruji Reverend Jaganath Carrera. She was certified
in Yoga Life Society’s Raja Yoga Teacher Training in
2012 and is now serving as a Yoga Life Minister.
Reverend Shanti LeMaire
Reverend Shanti, RYT 500, holds certifications in Hatha
Yoga, Meditation, Raja Yoga, Yoga Therapeutics,
Triaxial Yoga and Yoga for Everyone. As a child, she
felt a deep yearning for peace and union with the Divine.
Eventually she found her hOMe with Yoga and her Guru,
Reverend Jaganath Carrera, and is an ordained Yoga Life Minister.
Her Hatha classes are focused on the energetics of the body,
bringing healing and harmony to the body, mind and soul. Rev.
Shanti’s previous career as a medical assistant has helped her
gain knowledge of the physical body, while her experience
with Yoga has led to a deeper understanding of the more subtle
inner layers of Yoga. She continues to study under the guidance
of Reverend Jaganath Carrera and Margabandhu Martarano,
Director of Fairlawn IYI. She firmly believes that “The study and
practices of Yoga have helped me to realize that when we serve
others it brings peace to our own hearts as well.”
Amba Wallace
Amba, E-RYT 500. Turning 40 was what inspired Amba
to try Yoga and she took to it like a fish to water. She
is co-founder of JaiPure Yoga in Montclair, NJ, and
currently in Yoga Life Society’s Acharya Training. She credits Yoga
with helping her become a better, more aware person and she
recognizes that juggling all the responsibilities of daily living has
become a bit easier. Her primary focus has been twofold:
devotion to her Guru, Reverend Jaganath Carrera, and His
Teachings (especially on the Yoga Sutras), and a commitment to
teaching alignment in the yoga postures allowing more depth,
ease and steadiness in the body and subsequently, the mind.
One of her favorite scriptural verses is from the Bhagavad Gita,
Sloka 9:26 — Whatever is offered to me with true devotion - if
only a leaf, a flower, a fruit or a sip of water - I accept it because
it is given with love.
Madhuri DeJesus
Madhuri, RYT 500, is a Hatha Yoga & Meditation
instructor. She is forever grateful to Jennifer Kohl
who opened the door to the beautiful world of
Yoga where Madhuri found her Guru and Yoga Life
Society Sangha. She is deeply grateful to continue her
yoga practice and studies with so many amazing teachers,
as she deepens her studies and continually expands her
meditation practice. Yoga continues to be an ever
increasing source of inspiration.

Eka Jyoti Interfaith Pujas
Weekly Worship Services – Sundays, 8:00am - 8:45am
Eka Jyoti means One Light. Light represents the
universal truth that lies within our heart of hearts. It is
our True Nature, the ground of all peace, joy, wisdom,
harmony, and love. Experiencing this is the highest goal
of Yoga and of life.
Our Sunday morning worship services are an
opportunity to gather and participate in an offering that
upholds the interfaith perspective of the Yoga Life
Society. We believe that "Truth is One, Paths are Many."
This timeless quote reminds us that wisdom and peace
are not limited to any one spiritual tradition.
During these weekly services, called pujas, Light is taken
as the universal symbol of the Divine. Pujas
include chanting, waving of incense and lights, and the
offering of flower petals at the altar. Every object used
in a puja generates and holds healing energy. Because of
this, many who attend look forward to receiving the
holy ash, blessed water, and food (usually fruit or nuts)
offered during the puja. These services are open to anyone, regardless of their faith tradition or experience
with Yoga. Please feel free to bring children, family, and
friends.
The offering of mantras and prayerful intentions for
those on the Yoga Life Society prayer list and others in
need is an integral part of the Eka Jyoti service.
If you would like to add a name to our prayer list, please
send an email to: prayerlist@yogalifesociety.com.
If you like, we will send a card or email notifying the
person that we are praying for them.
There is no charge for this service and
preregistration is not required.

TRIAXIAL HATHA YOGA
Would you like to:
• Have self healing methods right at your fingertips?
• Build subtle connections between your body's
systems and the natural world outside of it?
• Tap into the Heart of Yoga in a highly integrated
way, connecting mind, body, and spirit?
Triaxial Hatha Yoga was developed by
Reverend Jaganath Carrera after years of intensive
study
and
apprenticeship
with
master
acupuncturist Kiiko Matsumoto. It integrates all of
the benefits of Traditional Hatha Yoga while
unlocking the subtle healing energies of the meridian system.
It is a powerful way of deepening the
understanding and experience of the traditional
practices of Yoga. The practice of Triaxial Yoga
brings powerful healing benefits to your Yoga
practice.
YOGA FOR EveryOne
Hatha Yoga can be intimidating for most of us
who have never been to a class or have not taken
a class for some time.
Yoga for EveryONE was created to provide a
compassionate, supportive, and comfortable
environment for those who have been hesitating
to try Hatha Yoga or who are anxious about
coming back to it.
Yoga for Everyone is just that: for EVERYONE. No
matter your age, body size, health condition, or
level of experience, it is a perfect way to dip your
feet into the wonderful world of Yoga and get a
taste of the peace and joy that lie within your own
heart.
Every step of the way, our Yoga teachers are there
to support and guide you in embracing and
accepting where you are right now.
In addition to the physical practices, the class will
also provide breathing/relaxation techniques and
a short meditation.
200 & 300 Hour
Teacher Training
Certification Programs
The Yoga Life Society is approved by
Yoga Alliance to offer 200 & 300 hour
teacher training certification programs.
Many of our programs and teachers are
approved for YA Continuing Education
Units (CEUs). In addition, we offer
various teacher trainings that cover all
major aspects of Yoga.
If you are a 200 RYT
and are seeking to
complete a 300 hour
study program to
become a 500 RYT
then YLS trainings
might work for you.
Our programs, classes, workshops, and
certification programs, in addition to Raja
Yoga, Meditation, Yoga for EveryONE,
and Triaxial Yoga Teacher Trainings,
might just be the way you can achieve
this goal comfortably at your own pace
and schedule. Many of our programs are
