Cultivating complete and compassionate presence of body and mind through yoga and Zen practice, we actualize our true body and true self.

Together, by cultivating presence of body and mind through these parallel practices, we can wake up to this gift of human life.

As modern day yogis, we’re called upon to act urgently but with enough pause to take insightful wise action that doesn’t cause unintended harm as we seek racial, social and environmental justice.

Through deep inner spiritual work we're better able to contribute to the world and those around us. On this inward journey toward self-realization, we can utilize the four traditional yogic paths that relate to body (karma yoga), heart (bhakti yoga), intellect (jnana yoga) and mind (raja yoga). According to yogic philosophy, each path leads us back to our true, inherently enlightened self—and to moksha, liberation.

In this four-part immersion, we'll explore each of these paths for the purposes of deep self understanding, intentional life design, and that we may be of service according to our unique gifts, capacities and interests.

Each module will include an 8-hour supervised personal project that emphasizes deepening knowledge and practice, self inquiry and social activism. Personal project topics are intentionally wide open so they may be used as a tool for manifesting our deepest, most heartfelt intentions for our lives.

Yoga Alliance continuing ed units available. Hours may be applied toward individualized 200- and 300-hour Yoga Alliance certification with Christy.

Session schedule:
2-4pm: Opening meditation and circle, dharma discussion, group study, optional practice teaching
