Activities include Shakipat Meditation, Kundalini Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Jhana Yoga, love taps and healing exercises, gourmet vegetarian dining and celestial visitations.
Most students find the Self Awareness Institute through browser searches, from listening to Swami Steven’s Enlightenment Radio broadcasts on Live365.com, iTunes podcasts, YouTube sites, article sites or dozens of other digital media. The Self Awareness Institute now has thousands of students in over 120 countries and most of them are connected and learning on line.
The Self Awareness Institute was founded in 1985 after Steven Sadleir completed his apprenticeship with the great Kundalini Master Yogiraj Vethathiri Maharishi, and has been teaching through seminars and retreats for decades, but the digital presence is what has grown SAI into one of the largest meditation groups in the world. SAI has been conducting these retreats for over 20 years.
Steven Sadleir is director and guru of the Self Awareness Institute and author of several books, including his most recent called Self Realization and the best-seller Looking for God, which is a compendium of all the world’s religions, spiritual paths and teachers. This American guru has studied with dozens of spiritual masters and is recognized as a Master in his own right in two lineages from India.

The first full week of May has been declared National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week by the National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health.
The purpose of the week is to increase public awareness about the triumphs and challenges in children’s mental health and to emphasize the importance of family and youth involvement in the children’s mental health movement. S hanti Generation® and Move with Me ® Action Adventures, supported by Yoga-Recess™, have launched a “Buy 1, Give 1“ program, similar to the TOMS™ shoe model, to bring yoga programs into public schools, FREE.
“Children with a wide range of mental health issues can benefit from the social-emotional learning (SEL) skills that basic yoga practice teaches including self-awareness and self regulation. We use simple techniques of conscious breathing, mindful awareness, stretching and centering postures to give children tangible tools for reducing stress,” says Abby Wills, a Southern California yoga instructor, who holds an MA in Education and has fifteen years of hands-on experience working in schools. She is the founder of Shanti Generation ™, a “youth centric” yoga program created to help tweens and teens (ages 8 – 16) develop confidence and strength while cultivating inner peace and mindfulness, SHANTI GENERATION: YOGA SKILLS FOR YOUTH PEACEMAKERS.
The “Free Yoga Resources for Classrooms Project” was envisioned as a way to bring easy-to-use yoga curricula to educators from Pre-K – 12, at no charge. The project encourages public school teachers to register to receive a free DVD (plus educational license) of either SHANTI GENERATION: YOGA SKILLS FOR YOUTH PEACEMAKERS (middle and high schools) or MOVE WITH ME ACTION ADVENTURES (for pre-school and early elementary grades) and then solicits the yoga community to Buy 1 (or more copies of the DVD) in order to Give 1 to a school. “With ongoing budget cuts, most teachers can’t afford to purchase the educational license required to use these program in schools,” says Leah Kalish, MA, former Program Director of Yoga Ed. and founder of Move with Me ™ Action Adventures DVDs, which are designed to involve the whole child (ages 3 – 7), in social-emotional learning through yoga stories and pretend play.
Over the last 2 years, Yoga Recess ™ collected ten thousand requests from teachers wanting a FREE copy of the SHANTI GENERATION or MOVE WITH ME; however the cost involved in fulfilling those requests is prohibitive. “Now we just need the yoga community to step up,” says Wills. “Yoga has helped children with ADHD, Autism and chronic disease to stay physically healthy and mentally focused. It’s also an incredible antidote to the bullying epidemic that is confronting our children. “
“Our goal,” says Kalish, “is to have at least 600 units of both SHANTI and MOVE WITH ME purchased and delivered to teachers by the end of the 2012. Yoga practices give kids and teachers the tools and techniques they desperately need to manage stress, develop emotional intelligence and learn healthy self-regulation. This is our way to support the next generation in becoming well-balanced adults.”
