In this two-part workshop, Swami Ramananda—drawing on more than fifty years of dedicated yoga practice—will share five pivotal teachings that profoundly changed his life. Central among them is a liberating insight into self-identity: “I don’t have to buy into the whole story that inhabits my mind and feels like me.”
Through guided reflection and clear, down-to-earth explanation, Swami Ramananda will show how these teachings can be applied to everyday challenges such as work, relationships, and stress. For example, together, we will explore how loosening our identification with habitual mental narratives opens the possibility for greater freedom, presence, and discernment.
Participants will leave with simple, practical tools to respond more skillfully to daily events and to cultivate clarity, inner growth, and a deeper sense of well-being—both on and off the mat.
These workshops are available for sign up as a course or individually at $25 – 4/23 & 4/30 and will be recorded and available to all enrolled students for two weeks.
