AHYMSA (Alliance of Himalayan Yoga and Meditation Science and Applications) in collaboration with HSNEF (Hindu Society of Northeast Florida) is offering continuous classes in "Therapeutic Applications in Yoga and Meditation" from the series of Steps to Advanced Meditation.
These classes are progressively deepening in both theory and practical application in ancient systems of Himalayan Astanga Yoga (also known as Vaidik yoga, Rishi Yoga or Gyana-Vijnana Yoga) The expected outcome is a deeper awareness related to health and rejuvenation and longevity and a program for self awareness, self transformation towards self-realization.
As a matter of progression, each lesson builds on the previous lesson. Mastery of simpler exercises enables the student to move to deeper, more inclusive techniques and leaving off simpler ones (the training wheels in a sense).
These classes are taught by Yogarishi Deolal Mahabir, qualified master of yoga and meditation who has been practicing and studying yoga and meditation since childhood and began teaching yoga in 1972 at the age of 12. He had not known a life outside of yoga. He studied under Dr. Swami Gitananda for 12 years before being initiated into the Himalayan tradition by Dr. Sri Swami Rama of the Himalayas of whom he is a direct disciple.
He is an accomplished meditator, a yoga therapist and yoga psychotherapist practicing both Eastern and Oriental systems of medicine and western traditional therapies. As a practitioner, therapist and teacher Yogarishi has treated many pre-diagnosed and undiagnosed conditions by yogic methods. He is the developer of "Micromovement Rejuvenation Exercises" and creator of "Yoga Neuro-reflexology," both of which anyone at any level can learn and administer to themselves.
There are several levels in this series. The course material in these classes and additional training in the Himalayan Yoga tradition can be used by students and professional medical practitioners, counselors and therapists in a professional manner, who can use it in their professional practice. Students may wish to study further and become certified instructors and counselors; that can be facilitated.

Current classes are being held at the Hindu Society of Northeast Florida (HSNEF) on Tuesday nights, 7:15 to 8:30 pm.
The next session series class shall be on September 16th . Registrations are currently being accepted for the same.
