The 24th of May is the annual celebration of the School of Life and Shanti Yoga. It is on this date that Christians celebrate the Divine Mother in the form of Mary Help of Christians, Who is closely entwined in the history of the families of both Victor (Vyasa) and Linette (Lakshmi) Landa. Therefore, She has been revered by our families and is considered the Patroness of Shanti Yoga and the School of Life. We are very appreciative of the circumstances that have brought us to establish our centers in Maryland (the Land of Mary), in Bethesda (the name of the healing pool in Jerusalem), and on East-West Highway to remind us that our work is to contribute to bridging Eastern wisdom with Western pragmatism.
