Bringing Yoga Off the Mat: Self Study in Daily Living

A one-day live stream immersion at ISHTA Yoga, Friday Aril 3rd 10:00-5:00

Register here.

Join Yogiraj Peter Ferko and Yogiraj Wendy Newton for a one day live streamed immersion in how to live your yoga. We will explore what yoga “off the mat” really is by steeping ourselves in the question of how our own patterns influence how we experience life, and how our yoga practice can help us navigate change.

This day of contemplation, conversation, and practice is all about finding the right relationship with life, no matter what life brings. This has never been more relevant to us as individuals and communities as it is now.

Wendy and Peter are masters of sharing the philosophy and tools of yoga in an embodied, relational way. We will share texts, give prompts for guided conversation, and offer meditation and breathing techniques to help you ground your practice and grow your capacity for sharing from a place of self-awareness.

This will be a one-day, live-streamed experience with plenty of breaks and time for integration.

The word satsang means a sangha, a community, that gathers around a pursuit of sat, the truth. Peter and Wendy’s series of satsangs, will help you explore and feel more supported by this shared connection.

In this informal gathering, Wendy and Peter will start a conversation about the role that yoga, self-study and meditation play in our contemporary lives. They will then open the conversation to the group. Using short guided meditation and Q&A, they will create a community forum for sharing individual experiences and receiving reflections from these two Yogirajs to deepen your practice.

In Satsang, we have the opportunity to find the balance between the light-hearted and the deeply important way of living that we are all striving for. All levels are welcome. Please come!
