“Peaceful Presence Yoga.”  What is that? It has been my focus for many years. Aaron was known as a peace maker, and as a Kohain I am not only from the tribe of Aaron but also strive to be a disciple of Aaron: “Loving peace and acting peacefully; loving people and drawing them to Torah” and reality. I can elaborate more if you want me to but the bottom line is that this is where I have the most passion and strength in my teaching.

Here are some of the core principles of “Peaceful Presence Yoga” off the top of my head:

1)    An individual can cultivate peace within.

2)    As we create peace within ourselves, we cannot help but bring more peace into the world.

3)    An individual’s peace is promoted with a healthy, vital body.

4)    There is a relationship between inner peace and self-control. When a person is in control of the mind (and passions) his inner flame burns like a candle burning in a place where no wind blows: The person is calm and steady.

5)    It has been said that around one who has mastered his senses, a person’s anger subsides.

6)    Ultimately all peace comes from God and it is only through harmony with Him and His purposes that an individual becomes an instrument of peace in the world.
