Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido.

The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes.” Drop in the Hall, no reservation needed.

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice! Adult classes: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning. Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially called to join us.

Lie down, relax, simply allow yourself to experience the ancient sound from the Tibetans bowls. The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes.” Drop in the Hall, no reservation needed.

When our eye, mind and heart are together in a single moment - seeing, appreciating, comprehending, expressing, sharing - that is all there is. This meditative practice can help you open to the present moment, meet the world as it is, and let the ordinary magic of the world erupt in front of you. No prior experience (of anything) is needed. All you need is something to take photos with. The session will be led by Helen - a mindfulness teacher with a passion for Miksang.

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice! Adult classes: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning. Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially called to join us.

Lie down, relax, simply allow yourself to experience the ancient sound from the Tibetans bowls. The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes.” Drop in the Hall, no reservation needed.

Lie down, relax, simply allow yourself to experience the ancient sound from the Tibetans bowls. The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes.” Drop in the Hall, no reservation needed.
