RASA YOGA is a gentle and do-able practice. Rasa is grounded in the
foundation of traditional Hatha Yoga and Rasa itself is one of the most
beautiful words in Sanskrit. Rasa is the name given to taste, the 6
taste centers of the tongue. These taste centers inform the endocrine
systems' job descriptions in the body. Rasa also signifies sound, most
of all the sound of the human voice and will we use our voices
whole-heartedly. NOW, Rasa is first tissue of the human body. We can
call it blood plasma, however, Rasa is the essential nature of JOY. All
other bodily tissues and functions depend upon the reclamation of joy.
This is truth, and yoga is the process of demanding truth. RASA YOGA,
in it's simplicity, is a practice of self-care and self-love. Since
1990, RASA has given courage and fearlessness to many hundreds of
seekers. Offered in both the USA and EUROPE, RASA allows a condition of
deep relaxation. In ayurvedic medicine, relaxation is the required base
for yoga (which is healing ) to take place.
Ketul has been teaching yoga since 1974. He also trained in classical
theatre and performed in many productions of Shakespeare as an actor and stage fighter. His teaching credits include, SUNY College at
Purchase, the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, the White Mountain
Dance Festival, the Juilliard School and his own RASA YOGA school in
NYC.
He now lives in Boulder, CO and after a 7 year introspection is now
willing to teach again as a public service for the GLBT community and
anyone else who might want to might share in the fun. RASA is the
evolution of Ketul's life experience, and of the love and courage of
those who were his students and and at the same time his most revered
teachers.
