Svadhyaya is the yogic practice of self-reflection. In this workshop we will learn how to build our personal svadhyaya practice. We will explore ancient teachings and philosophies. From these teachings we will develop an authentic and practical way to implement these teachings into our lives. Join us as we refine our values and build a firm basis to live a life in line with our heart’s and soul’s purest, most fulfilling truth.

About Jess:
Desikachar says, “If you want to know whether your yoga practice is working don’t look to see if you are just able to sweat more in a class, or do another complicated pose, look to your life – look at your relationship with your emotions, psyche and that of your loved ones.”
