We’re happy to announce a new series of online workshops created for yoga practitioners at every stage of their journey. Each month we’ll meet for two late-morning sessions and dive deep into a single topic we’ve been refining in our own sādhanā—everything from the practice of Sūrya Namaskār to the quiet science of Prāṇāyāma. Our aim is simple: help you strengthen your personal practice and carry fresh insight back to your students or community.
For the sincere seeker, the dedicated practitioner, and the evolving teacher, true growth emerges from consistent, focused inquiry. It is with this understanding that we joyfully present our series of Monthly Online Workshops, designed to illuminate diverse facets of yogic science and practice.
Each workshop is a carefully curated immersion, offering profound guidance and practical knowledge on a specific theme. Whether you seek to refine your physical postures, understand the subtle energies of the body, or delve into the deeper philosophical underpinnings of yoga, these sessions are crafted to enable you to go beyond the superficial and truly deepen your sadhana. Join us from the comfort of your sacred space, as we gather virtually to explore and grow together.
