| The Jewish Mystics believe that healing the
world begins with gathering the divine sparks of light that are
hidden within our world. In each series we will uncover those
sparks by embodying the Hebrew letters and the Name of the Divine
itself in yoga poses. In these sessions, we will seek our own
healing as we dive into the Kabbalists’ teachings on each
seasonal theme of rebirth, revelation, repentance, and rededication. Please pre-register for this class. |

The Devas are the colorful cast that populate Indian mythology and spirituality. Each Deva simultaneously represents a specific aspect of the One in human form and an archetype of human experience. This 8-week series will be an entertaining introduction to the key Deities, their meaning, iconography and the spiritual wisdom revealed through their individual stories. |

| This 8-week series will be an exploration of the Bhagavad Gita, one of India’s most sacred texts. The Gita is a poetic treatise about humankind’s ongoing struggle between the sacred and the profane. Gandhi referred to the Bhagavad Gita as, “a spiritual reference book.” He saw it as a guide for daily life, not as a collection of esoteric wisdom for renunciates. In this class, we’ll focus on how this ancient text provides a framework for living yoga as householders whose immersion in the world of action is the path, rather than the obstacle, to spiritual awareness. |
