Upcoming Themes
October Theme
At Play with the Divine
In the yogic tradition, life is often seen as Lila, or divine play. But how do we embrace this sense of playfulness when the world around us feels so heavy?
This month, our theme invites you to explore:
- Approaching the many roles you play in life as parts of a divine performance.
- Embracing every aspect of yourself—including the angry, sad, and painful parts—as integral to your divine nature.
- Understanding the trauma response and its connection to self-abandonment.
- Embarking on the yogic journey towards wholeness and integration.
- Recognizing and transforming the thought forms that keep us fragmented.
Our teachings this month will draw from the wisdom of the Devi Mahatmya, the Samkhya Karika, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, as well as insights from trauma-informed yoga practices.
November Theme
From Inertia to Insight
In this transformative program, we will explore the process of transitioning from stagnation and confusion to clarity and purpose through the power of intentional action. Grounded in yogic philosophy, this month's theme dives deep into the energies that shape our lives—the Gunas—and how they influence our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
This month’s theme explores:
- Practical strategies for moving forward when you feel stuck
- The forces of nature (Tamas, Rajas, and Sattva) and their impact on your life
- Developing and maintaining a consistent yoga practice as a tool for personal transformation
- Steps to cultivate a more harmonious and balanced approach to living
Join us on this journey from inertia to insight, and discover how to bring more clarity, focus, and balance into your life!
