Many of us who practice Yoga feel a pull to work deeper, to go beyond the body and to focus on refining our character and understanding our mind. To engage in what's known as Svādhyāya, or study of oneself. 

But reflecting on our inner qualities and true nature and identifying the things that keep us from becoming more truthful and compassionate requires time, discipline and resources that are hard to find in our daily life.  Even with a regular practice, we find ourselves still yearning for deep introspection.

 Often, we seek answers to that in different traditions, separating the practice of asana, breath and meditation into separate paths. Yet it’s possible to combine all three into one deeper experience of Self Study.

In this series of workshops, we will create space using the Yogic toolbox, which contains sound, breath and movement. We will explore concepts such as compassion and forgiveness: what they mean to you, and how we can use them to begin transforming our mind.

 This powerful trio of tools can unlock new pathways for transforming the heart and mind along with the body.  Expanding our compassion or embracing forgiveness becomes as possible as achieving a deeper backbend or better-aligned Warrior pose. 

 We will work with one concept at a time, using a conducive mantra to penetrate our mind and breath, to reveal what is stored in our body and is holding us back, and creating a reflective state of mind.

 We will end with meditation, embracing the changes and shifts that occurred during practice.
