APRIL THEME: Mantra
On one level, sound may seem quite ordinary, though everyone can appreciate a moving piece of music that stirs the heart and memories with vivid reconning. Mantra, in the yoga system, is a sacred point of entry into the deeper mystery and plays a vital role in our self-development.

MAY THEME: Wisdom of the Yoga Sutras
Written by the great sage Patañjali, the Yoga Sutras offer a roadmap into the deeper vision and path of yoga. What is the aim of yoga in contemporary life? How do we develop self-awareness? And where are the inner buttons that access deeper states of freedom? We will review key sutras and experientially explore the deeper layers of practice through chanting, sutra study, asana, meditation, and pranayama.

JULY THEME: Sacred Heart
The heart is regarded as a sacred abode across spiritual traditions. In yoga, the heart is the place of compassion, a point of refuge from sorrow, a nexus of healing, and the seat of the Soul. Join us as we awaken these attributes in this master class.

AUGUST THEME: Yoga of Integration
Many relate to asana as a physical activity—as “stretching” or a way to relax. All are valuable, yet only a fraction of the deeper spirit and purpose of the postures. Seen in their original light, they tell a much deeper story of our relationship with creation and our unique place in the world.
