LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP
The Yoga of Becoming Fearless
The world's temperature continues to rise — politically as well as environmentally. These are uncertain, fearful times.
Fear has its place; it can be a powerful motivator. Fear can also make it hard to navigate uncertainty. It undermines our ability to meet challenges with strength and wisdom. Fear is the mind-killer.
Yoga wisdom offers us perspectives and practices that are meant to help us free the mind from fear.
This workshop is for yoga teachers and practitioners who want to learn how traditional yoga wisdom guides us toward an empowered state of fearlessness.
You'll learn:
- What yoga wisdom says about the origins and nature of fear
- Why understanding your true nature is the key to becoming fearless
- How to think through your fears to gain a deeper understanding of them
- How to zoom out and see the big picture of world events in order to put and them in perspective
- Practices that can help alleviate fear
Fearlessness is a key characteristic of a liberated yogi. I hope you'll join me for this look at how yoga wisdom guides us along the path to conquering our fears and keeping our balance in a topsy-turvy world.
The workshop will be recorded: a replay link will be emailed to all registrants.

FREE LIVE ONLINE EVENT
Community Conversation
Community Conversation is a FREE monthly online gathering where we connect spiritual ideas to real life by talking about personal challenges we all share, difficult issues we all face, and how the ancient spiritual teachings of the yoga tradition offer practical guidance for navigating our way through life in the modern world.
This month, we're going to explore the topic of spiritual surrender and social action by asking how we can reconcile the idea of surrender to "divine will" with the moral imperative to do our part to help make the world a better place.
Yoga wisdom encourages us to let go of our attachments and accept the fact that we can't control of how things turn out, to tolerate cycles of good and evil without being disturbed. How do we do that? Is this instruction a call to inaction?
What does yoga wisdom say about moral responsibility and civic duty in light of the influence of cosmic forces beyond our control? How does social action fit into the context of yoga's ultimate goal of transcendence? How can we balance acceptance of what we can't change with determination to change what we can?
We'll explore these and other related questions in our next Community Conversation.

LIVE ONLINE COURSE
The Yoga Sutras
A grounded study for modern practitioners: this 4-part live course (with replay) explores how yoga’s foundational text bridges classical philosophy with modern life, personal practice, and teaching.
All too often, Yoga Teacher Trainings race through the Yoga Sutras without context, nuance, or depth, while academic courses bury seekers in theory without offering insight that translates into lived experience. This 6-hour live mini-course is designed for yoga teachers and serious practitioners who want a more rigorous and grounded approach—one that integrates the Sutras into both personal practice and teaching.
The Yoga Sutras are the time-honored foundation of yoga philosophy. Rather than presenting yoga as stress management or self-optimization, they offer a precise psychological and spiritual framework for understanding consciousness, identity, ethics, and liberation. Their aim is not just inner calm, but a fundamental shift in how we see ourselves and engage with the world.
In this course, we approach the Sutras as a living text—one that speaks directly to modern questions about meaning, agency, responsibility, and freedom. Each live 90-minute session combines clear, structured teaching with open discussion, critical reflection, and space for questions. You’ll be invited to think with the text, not simply memorize it.
Each live 90-minute class will be recorded: the replay will be available anytime so you can revisit the material at your own pace..
In this course, we'll explore:
-
What you need to know before you study the Sutras
-
How to approach the Yoga Sutras without mystification or oversimplification
-
How the text is structured — and what the structure tells us about the Sutras
-
Why traditional commentaries matter — and how to evaluate them critically
-
The 8 limbs of yoga (and why the yamas and niyamas come first)
-
What sets meditation in the Sutras apart from other popular forms of meditation
-
The role of Īśvara in the Sutras — and why it’s often misunderstood
-
How mystic powers really work (and how to use them in a yoga class!)
-
How the Yoga Sutras describe the perfection of yoga — and what that means for us
The Yoga Sutras integrate psychology, ethics, metaphysics, theology, and meditative science into a single, demanding vision of ultimate freedom. Studied carefully, they challenge our habitual assumptions about identity, success, happiness, and control—and offer a radically different orientation to life and action.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, non-dogmatic exploration of the Yoga Sutras that speaks to the realities of modern life, this course is for you. You’ll be learning alongside fellow practitioners who want to study yoga philosophy seriously, critically, and with integrity.
The course will be recorded: replay links will be emailed to all registered participants after each class.
