Knowledge must not be intellectual only.

This is another way of highlighting the importance of “action“ and its role in pursuing wisdom.

What purpose does suffering have?

Why would we cultivate becoming “child-like” on purpose? 🛝

There is an inherent wonder in children, that many adults lose.

When we learn to see beneath the surface, something subtle but powerful begins to change.

We pause instead of rushing.
We listen instead of reacting.
We respond with clarity instead of fear. 🤍

This is what inner work actually gives us — not answers to argue over, but discernment, compassion, and a deeper sense of belonging in the world.

The 'Esoteric Christianity' course is about learning how to perceive meaning again — in stories, in life, and in ourselves.

And when our inner seeing changes, our outer lives naturally follow. ✨

If you’re longing for depth, steadiness, and a way of engaging the world that feels more grounded and compassionate, you’re warmly invited.

📅 Begins Jan 21 (that's next week!)

You might be thinking…

I am intrigued by 'Esoteric Christianity' but...

“I’m not a practicing Christian.”
“I don’t know the Bible very well.”
“I’m spiritual, but not sure about religion.”
“I’m not sure I have the time for spiritual study.” 🤔

If any of that sounds familiar, take a breath — you’re not alone.

The work we do in 'Esoteric Christianity' isn’t about belief, dogma, or having the “right” answers.

It’s about learning how to read sacred stories as mirrors of human experience — stories that speak to doubt, longing, failure, courage, and transformation.

You don’t need prior knowledge.
You don’t need certainty.
You just need a willingness to listen a little more deeply.

If you’ve ever felt drawn to scripture but unsure how to approach it — or felt something sacred there that you couldn’t quite name — this space was created with you in mind. 🤍

We rarely remember instructions.
But we remember stories. 📖✨

A story stays with us because it doesn’t just speak to the mind —
it speaks to the heart, the imagination, and the body.

It gives us a way to enter meaning, rather than stand outside of it.

This is why sacred traditions have always taught through stories.
Not to explain life, but to reveal it.

In Esoteric Christianity, we approach scripture this way — not as information to memorize, but as living narratives that show us how transformation actually happens. Stories that meet us where we are, and gently invite us forward.

If you’ve ever felt a story working on you long after you heard it —
you already understand this kind of learning. 🤍

Creation didn’t only happen once, at the beginning of time.
It’s not a finished event sealed in the past.

Creation is a living pattern — still unfolding.
In the world.
In history.
And quietly… in you. ✨

Every moment, something is being formed:
a thought, a choice, a response, a way of seeing.

The same creative movement described in scripture continues to shape our inner lives — if we learn how to notice it.

In Esoteric Christianity, we explore ancient stories not as explanations, but as maps of an ongoing process — a way of understanding how meaning, order, and consciousness emerge again and again.

When you begin to see creation this way, life feels less accidental…
and more like an invitation. 🤍

Our Story

Circle Yoga Shala is a School for Yoga, Creative Movement, and Self-Inquiry in Arkansas’ Ozark Mountains. We are a Member School of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) and a registered school with the National Yoga Alliance.

At the heart of all we do is contemplation, self-observation, and service.

We offer yoga teacher trainings in our 200-hour, 500-hour, and 800-hour Professional Yoga Therapy programs. We teach principles and methods that are grounded in somatic inquiry, and not inherently limited to a style of practice. To take a posture that is filled with one’s attention, ‘sensing’ what is happening (seeing and recognizing rather than thinking about), and then responding intelligently is to move with reality rather than projecting onto it. This somatic inquiry is taught in asana (movement and stillness), in meditation (sitting and walking), and in a felt relationship to the three centers: head, heart, and gut. This method lays the foundation for self-inquiry and contemplation.

Join our Seva program available each June for an opportunity to immerse in practice, community and nature without enrolling in a formal teacher training.
