As we age, we begin to care less about others’ opinions, recognize the preciousness of time, and find peace in letting go of control. Yoga supports this transition with wisdom teachings that foster clarity, emotional balance, and self-compassion, and gentle, age-appropriate practices that help sustain vitality and well-being.

Together, these tools calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and invite deeper presence. Even reflecting on death can open the door to living more fully now. Join us online for a thoughtful, supportive exploration of how yoga can help us become truly sage as we age—through discussion,
practice, and community.

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. The philosophy of Integral Yoga is explored often through an informal discussion. Although our spiritual paths may diverge, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring and creates a solid foundation for continued practice.

People of all faiths are welcome.
This workshop will be recorded and available to enrolled students for 2 weeks..
