Dearest All,
We hope in these very strange times that life finds you at home, safe and with family. Possibly in the midst of all the discord and disorder that the internet has come to accentuate, we may now have the opportunity to find deeper value and richness within what it was originally supposed to offer – a supportive “inter-web” for communication and interconnection.
Supporting Our Community
With this in mind, we are inviting you all to join us within our online community. In the coming weeks we intend to showcase our teachers both past and present. Many of them are actively sharing their teachings on the internet via videos, podcast, articles and livestreams in the hopes that they can support you during these trying times. Most of them, as well, are completely dependent upon their teaching
for their day-to-day sustenance, so please do support their online offerings and share with your friends and family!
As tomorrow seems to be so unknown and unpredictable currently, we have decided the best way in which we can support you as our friends and family is to not overburden you with worry or concern about this summer. For those of you who have already registered for a retreat program this summer, we will be postponing all final payments until at least May 1st. As we get closer to that date, we will reassess how best we can assist and support our communiy.
Walk With Us
 We ask that you would walk with us through these times. The community and shared practices we have explored together throughout these past 45 years will see us through. Put faith in that. (Check out founding member, Heidi Goldman's wonderful interview for our Feathered Pipe archive project.)
Ultimately, that is what community is all about and what India desired so much to inspire – tomorrows leaders who would take what they discovered and practiced at the Ranch out into the world, and manifest a more loving, kind, peaceful and inclusive world community.
Love & Faith,
Feathered Pipe Foundation

Heidi Goldman: “Yoga is the beginning, middle and end of my life.”
Heidi Goldman, member of the core founding group and former director of yoga programs for the Feathered Pipe Foundation, was hugely instrumental in making the Feathered Pipe Ranch an epicenter for the exploration and distillation of yoga in America. Heidi reflects on the early days at the Ranch, where her dreams of bringing body and heart-centered teachings to the world were inspired and facilitated.

Ardha Chandrasana: Half Moon Pose – Marla Apt
Ardha Chandrasana, the Half Moon pose is said to resemble the image of an Indian moon floating in the sky. The Sanskrit word Chandra also refers to the qualities of brilliance or shine of the moon. Although the torso is not dangling but is held up by strong legs, a lightness and freedom can be experienced in this pose as if you can radiate in all directions.
