The key to happiness is understanding and recognizing our gifts and how  they are meant to be shared to live with a spiritual embodiment of the essence of what makes us feel whole and authentic. This course focuses  on the Bhagavad Gita’s theme that everything in the universe has an  ultimate purpose and living in accord to your divine design is required  for authentic happiness and wellbeing.  The workshop explores our role  and purpose in life and includes writing a life mission statement,  exploring what it is to discover and live one’s dharma, and how dharma  is viewed in a spiritual context. This course covers dharma in both the classic and contemporary application, exploring our social dharma, personal dharma, adharma and more.

If you have always wanted to dive into the deeper dimensions of yoga and been inspired to explore the profound teachings which, applied to your life, create remarkable transformation, the place to begin is through an introduction to the Yamas and Niyamas and core teachings of the Yoga Sutras. This course offers  6 hours of prerecorded lectures with journaling exercises for self-paced study. In addition we meet on zoom where students can share experiences and discuss the teachings in depth. Take your practice beyond the mat and open your eyes to a whole new way of looking at the world as you see life through the yoga spectrum. With so much going on in the world, now is a perfect time to journal, ponder, and explore these teachings.

Zoom meetings take place Sunday afternoons from 4:00-5:30 from Sept. 6, to Oct. 4 (5 sessions). Students who can not join us in real time, can watch these meetings later. Students have lifetime access to the prerecorded content and exercises.
