What does it mean to practice yoga not only in stillness, but in the sacred unfolding of daily life? In this conversation, we will explore yoga as a living path — one that meets us in the midst of struggle, change, tenderness, and truth. Drawing from the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, we’ll reflect on how to listen deeply for what is needed in each moment, and how to respond with presence and acceptance.

Together, we will honor the power of meditation, the energy of mantra, the release in pranayama, and the grace of allowing practice to meet life as it is.

I look forward to sharing my own journey with you.
Satsang is a special time for us to come together as a community. In Sanskrit, Sat means truth and Sangha means community. Satsang offers an opportunity to come together to share spiritual teachings.

People of all faiths are welcome.
