Why Yoga and who is GetACTV?

 

The word ‘Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘Yuj’, meaning ‘to join’ or ‘to yoke’ or ‘to unite’.  The daily practice of Yoga saved my life, improved clarity, and restored balance and equilibrium. 

Our renewed interest in the practice of Yoga began in 1995 at the personal Durham NC household of Joy Anandi.  3 Days a week her adult students would assemble and be led by our Teacher Joy and her avid Persian cats.  Joy bred Persian cats, raised them, and sold them.  This Hatha Yoga class was a perfect re-introduction, for two men, and three women.  Each class ended with the final asana, Shavasana (Shavasana is the pronunciation of the Sanskrit word “savasana.” It’s a resting and restorative pose, or asana, typically used at the end of a yoga session. The Sanskrit word means “corpse pose,” because students practicing this pose lie face-up on the ground, arms and legs comfortably spread, eyes closed.) When we opened our eyes and came back into standing pose, 4 of Joy’s mature Persian cats would be positioned like Sentries around the room, avidly staring at us.  The year 2000 came and we found ourselves 3 days a week at Bryan Carey’s Patanjalis Yoga Studio of Durham on Geer Street.   Serious Yoga and 23 years of meditation were underway.

SERENITY MEDITATION CHAIR

 

The Serenity Meditation Chair is our original and still most popular chair. People love the Zen-like simplicity and relative light weight of this meditation chair.

Some also like the armless feature which allows for maximum freedom of movement as well as making it lighter weight when moving or carrying to a retreat.

The front of the seat of the Serenity Meditation Chair drops 3 inches from either side to the middle to allow for the feet to rest more comfortably below the knees while the back of the seat remains straight across to raise the hips above the legs. The straight back of the chair provides an upright support for meditation not found on most chairs, but is still comfortable enough to allow for multi-use every day sitting. The feet can be tucked up on the chair as shown or placed easily on the ground in front.

Now made from woven Banana leaf weave and solid mango wood the Serenity Meditation Chair is an ecological and elegant seating concept for meditation or everyday use. The cushion is filled with natural Kapok for a firm and supportive feel. The cream cover is 100% cotton and removable for washing. Meditation Chair Covers can be purchased separately and are available in a variety of colors.

Dimensions: 30″W x 27″D x 19.5″ H.

Seat Height: 8″H with cushion.
