### 为什么练习霎哈嘉瑜伽？ 在繁忙的都市生活中，我们往往忽略了身、心、灵的健康。霎哈嘉瑜伽冥想恰恰是现代人的需求。它给予我们瑜伽，即天人合一的状态，通过精微能量来帮助我们恢复内在的平衡。这个修复是自然而然的。 这个力量是我们内在精微系统的一部分，其中还包括了七个能量中心和三条经脉。当我们处于平衡的状态，我们并不受过去或者未来的影响，也能处于无思无虑的状态。而这个力量在梵文中指的是“昆达里尼”。 “霎哈嘉”指的是自然而然，而“瑜伽”的意思是连接联合的状态。霎哈嘉瑜伽仅涉及冥想，并不涉及任何体位瑜伽。 我们的课程： 每逢星期四傍晚7点半 地点：AZ building, 140 Paya Lebar Road, #07-15 Singapore 409015 报名方式：请联系杨小姐（98564587)

Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
