Many understand that the meaning of yoga has to do with “union.” But union with what? The term “yoga” comes from the same Indo European roots as the words “joining” or “yoking” –but again–to what? Yoga philosophy points to an Unconditioned Self that is free of any sense of separation or fear. The word “yoga,” in its less common usage, can refer to “yogas” – practices and engagements that, step by step, help us to rejoin, to reconnect, with our real nature as truth, consciousness, and joy.

Yogic meditation is best grounded in a daily practice with a regular, dedicated time. On a grander scale, living the art of yoga includes deep inquiry–a moment to moment liberation from fear and separation. During our time together we will explore the engagements of yoga: breath, meditation, prana-energy practices, chakras, self inquiry and nada yoga/mantra/sound practices, to uncover our heart’s knowing, our dharma or calling, and our profound nature as joy, truth and love.
