Do
I need to bring anything when I come for a course or
do you provide everything?
We recommend you bring a yoga mat or blanket, a bottle
of water, and maybe a cushion if you're not used to
sitting on the floor.
I'm
doing a course but cannot attend one of the sessions
due to prior committments, may I miss one session?
No, as you will lose the benefits of
the course. Each day builds on the last and the results
are cumulative. If you cannot attend all sessions,
speak to a teacher ASAP.
I'd
like to do a course closer to where I live, is that
possible?
If you can gather
a group of people to do a course, we will come teach
in your neighbourhood. If you live outside New Orleans,
please email us at info@iahvneworleans.org and
we can put you in touch with IAHV volunteers in your
area.
Where
are follow up sessions held?
Follow up sessions are currently be held every Sunday
at 5pm, at our local center,
4116 Prytania Street For other follow up locations,
call us at 504-994-4990.
Are
you a religious organization?
No. We are an international non-profit,
educational and humanitarian Non Governmental Organization
(NGO). We work in special consultative status with the
Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, participating
in a variety of committees and activities relating to
health, education, sustainable development and conflict
resolution.
Are
you affiliated to a particular religion?
No. The courses are open to people
of all ages, genders, backgrounds, cultures and traditions
across the world. They do not conflict with any persons
existing religious or spiritual practices.
"We identify ourselves as somebody - I belong
to this religion, this culture, this tradition, but
we forget the basic identity that we are human beings.
When that stands first and foremost, all other identities
follow behind that." --H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
What
are donations used for?
All the money goes directly into IAHV and is used for
its service projects in this country, and around the
world. All the teachers, coordinators and helpers
are
Volunteers - they do NOT get any salary
or expenses from your course fees or donations.
