Ever feel stuck—in undesirable habits, situations, or relationships? Ever wonder why you can’t let go? Want to make positive changes in your life? Imagine the freedom of no longer being driven by desires, old behavioral patterns, or negative thinking. Learn how to regain choice and skillfully respond, rather than automatically react, to what unfolds in your life.

The foundation of Yoga psychology is a two-sided approach based on practice and non-attachment. Because of attachment, we suffer in life. Through practice, we gain the clarity to understand our attachments, as well as the ability to release them.

In this workshop, we will explore:

  • The nature of attachment, drawing upon the wisdom of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and The Bhagavad Gita
  • How to harness the energy of the will, emotions, and intellect to effect positive change
  • Yogic practices, including: affirmation, visualization, prayer, analysis, and witnessing the mind
  • Daily sessions devoted to meditation, hatha yoga and pranayama, as well in-depth discussions and guided exercises.
  • Emerge with an individualized take-home plan for attaining your goals.

With every thought, word, and deed, we pave the way for our liberation or greater bondage. Come join us and learn how to walk through life more easefully, peacefully, skillfully, and joyfully.
