Join us for this opportunity to celebrate the release of Nischala Joy Devi’s revised Secret Power of Yoga, now expanded to include all four chapters of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Nischala will share chosen excerpts of this revised version, which offers a simple, elegant, and deeply personal interpretation of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras–the principles at the basis of Yoga practice. Her interpretation beautifully captures the spirit of each sutra, and her suggested practices offer numerous ways to embrace the spirituality of Yoga throughout your day.
NISCHALA JOY DEVI is a masterful teacher and healer. For many years she has been highly respected as an international advocate for her innovative way of expressing Yoga and its subtle uses for spiritual growth and complete healing.
