For eight weeks we gathered to chant, reflect, and contemplate the wisdOM of the Bhagavad Gītā.

Tonight we closed our circle by chanting all seven ślokas together….one voice, one rhythm, one sacred offering.

Voices joined in chanting the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gītā.

May these words continue to guide our lives beyond the mat.

ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय
Om Namo Bhagavate Vāsudevāya

🕯️ Trāṭaka & Sound Immersion 🕯️
Candle Gazing • Gong Bath • Golden Milk Ritual

A luminous evening of stillness, vibration, and gentle nourishment ✨

Join Sarada and Laurel for a 90-minute ritual designed to soothe the nervous system and soften you into the seasonal shift.

This offering is especially sweet for the gentle turn toward the returning light of spring 🌱

This evening is for you if you’re craving:
• Nervous system regulation
• Grounding + inner steadiness
• Ritual, warmth, and community
• Deep rest and sensory nourishment

🌿 The Slow Unfurl
Tending the Liver as Spring Emerges

As daylight lengthens, the body often feels the shift before the mind does.

In Five Element theory, the Wood Element (and the Liver system) holds growth, direction, and vision… and also frustration when something feels blocked.

Spring energy rises.
But rising doesn’t have to mean rushing.

This 2.5-hour seasonal workshop offers somatic practice, restorative group acupuncture, and quiet reflection to support the transition gently.

You don’t need to feel ready.
Spring often begins with restlessness or tenderness.

🌱 Two Date Options: March 14 or April 11
🕰 5:30–8:00 PM
📍 Sky Studio, MĀ Yoga (Victoria)
💛 $65 | Max 8 participants

Upanishads Book Club with Katyanna Ryan 📚

A slow, thoughtful journey into the Upanishads, guided by the translations and reflections of Eknath Easwaran.

This book club is less about studying and more about being with the texts — reading together, reflecting together, and noticing what these teachings awaken around self, awareness, devotion, and how we live day to day. Easwaran’s writing makes these ancient teachings deeply accessible while preserving their richness, giving us something meaningful to return to again and again.

Expect an unhurried pace, gentle conversation, quiet moments, and shared inquiry rather than debate or analysis. No background in philosophy or yoga required — whether you’re new to the Upanishads or have been circling them for years, you’re welcome here. Come having read a little (or not much at all), bring curiosity, and take what resonates.

📅 Tuesdays, March 10 – April 14, 2026
💫 Investment: $225 (book included)
📚 Counts as 9 hours toward 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training

Spaces are limited — join us for honest time with meaningful texts, together.

✨ What to bring: blankets + cushions, comfy loose clothing, water, and a journal if you’d like to reflect.
