Sunday Yoga (11:00am - Noon)
Nada Yoga is the yoga of sound and vibration. Rooted in ancient yogic philosophy, this practice guides us from ahata nada (outer, audible sound) toward anahata nada (inner, subtle sound), gently drawing awareness inward to connect with our true nature. This 75-minute experience is grounding, meditative, and deeply nourishing for the nervous system. We begin by settling into the body through somatic techniques and gentle, mindful asana, allowing tension to unwind and awareness to deepen. Breathwork and pranayama help regulate the nervous system and open subtle channels, followed by chanting or vocal toning to awaken inner resonance. From here, you’ll be guided into meditation and a receptive sound journey featuring crystal singing bowls, chimes, gong, tuning forks, and spacious moments of silence—inviting rest, integration, and inner listening.
No prior experience is necessary. This class is open to all bodies and all levels, offering a space to slow down, tune in, and remember the wisdom within.
Each class will include a vegan dinner to be shared with friends and community after class.

Sundays 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Yoga Talks explores diverse perspectives, featuring special or in-house speakers, with discussions on the Bhagavad Gita, spiritual literature, and current events, fostering deep, reflective dialogue for everyone.
Each Sunday before and after the Yoga Talks, we will conduct Kirtan, or mantra meditation, a call-and-response chanting practice in Hinduism, blending sacred mantras with music and dancing. It fosters ecstatic joy and deep collective participation.
Following the Kirtan, please join us for an included healthy and hearty Ayurvedic (vegetarian) feast for dinner.
