Testimonials from Our Students
"I love Laughing Buddha Hot Yoga studio in Bayside. I started with hot yoga last fall and added Inside Out a few months later. Together these classes helped me regain my flexibility, build my strength, get toned and feel great! .... The instructors are wonderful and the owner/instructor Mike takes the time to get to know everyone who comes to the studio. Try all the hot yoga classes and you'll quickly find out that 30 seconds in Mike's class lasts a lot longer than in most others. If you're in need of boot-camp, Linda's inside out class is the way to go. There's enough variety of classes and instructors that I'm sure everyone will find something that fits." - Cynthia A.
"Laughing Buddha Yoga Center is truly one of those special places to bring your mind and body to a state of inner peace. ALL of the instructors are fabulous in their own unique way. Not only is it beneficial to your inner self but equally to your physical appearance. I feel my body is much more toned and my incredible ability to stretch deeper improves my posture. Thank you Mike and the staff here for blessing me with your talents! " - Gina E.
PATANJALI'S SUTRAS - Results of stabilizing the mind
(Yoga Sutras 1.40-1.46)
1.40 When, through such practices, the mind develops the power of becoming stable on the smallest size object as well as on the largest, then the mind truly comes under control.
1.41 When the modifications of mind have become weakened, the mind becomes like a transparent crystal, and thus can easily take on the qualities of whatever object observed, whether that object be the observer, the means of observing, or an object observed, in a process of engrossment called samapatti.
1.42 One type of such an engrossment (samapatti) is one in which there is a mixture of three things, a word or name going with the object, the meaning or identity of that object, and the knowledge associated with that object; this engrossment is known as savitarka samapatti (associated with gross objects).
1.43 When the memory or storehouse of modifications of mind is purified, then the mind appears to be devoid of its own nature and only the object on which it is contemplating appears to shine forward; this type of engrossment is known as nirvitarka samapatti.
1.44 In the same way that these engrossments operate with gross objects in savitarka samapatti, the engrossment with subtle objects also operates, and is known as savichara and nirvichara samapatti.
1.45 Having such subtle objects extends all the way up to unmanifest prakriti.
1.46 These four varieties of engrossment are the only kinds of concentrations (samadhi) which are objective, and have a seed of an object.
