“I loved Hari’s clear organization and the way that he made so many deep connections between the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita. I also loved the journaling prompts to reflect upon.Very thought provoking and actually having something concrete in writing that would help keep you accountable. 

This class was such a unique way of delivering age-old wisdom. Brilliantly done! I was fully engaged in the class and time just flew by. I highly recommend this workshop!”
