The wisdom of the Yoga Sutras was never intended to remain as philosophy alone. These timeless teachings invite us into a way of living—one that is cultivated through study, contemplation, and direct experience.

Join author and master teacher Swami Nischala Joy Devi for a contemplative gathering dedicated to the living tradition of yoga. Through her unique translation of the Yoga Sutras, The Secret Power of Yoga, we will explore this foundational scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, and other significant teachings.

Nischala offers illuminating insights that make these profound scriptures accessible, relevant, and deeply meaningful. This is a rare opportunity to study with one of today's most beloved teachers, whose decades of practice, study, and compassionate guidance have inspired seekers around the world.

Each gathering includes scriptural study, thoughtful dialogue, and time for questions, followed by a guided meditation that allows the teachings to move beyond intellectual understanding and into lived experience.
