Teachers and long-term students worldwide are longing for more personal practice time while in a community setting. Many feel a strong desire to be a student in a public class again and to have the opportunity to learn by doing. The monthly led physical practice sessions are a chance to be inspired. They will help you make your practice your own again, giving you the chance to grow for yourself.

Each month will begin with a lecture on a portion of the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali and the Bhagavad Gītā. We will discuss roughly 15-30 sutras each month and two chapters of the Gītā. By the end the course we will have made it through the entirety of both texts including and additional overview of the entirety of each text the last two months of the course. In essence you will have covered the entirety of each set of teachings three times over giving you a very deep and thorough exploration and understanding of these texts not just in theory but in practice and practical life application. 

The month philosophy lectures are not just an academic look at the texts but contain a thorough explorations of the concepts the teachings told through story, metaphor, and relatable real life situational examples which allow you to explore the teachings in a very personal way throughout your day to day life.

You will have a real and tangible relationship with the material that will aid you in. your growth as a student of yoga and will also have a direct impact on how you teach if you're also a teacher of yoga.

Every month we will come together to discuss how the process is unfolding. Between sessions, you will be given points to reflect on and investigate.
