Advanced Practice Drop-In: Yoga Theory
w. Kara Aubin . CAP, E.RYT, AYT

We live in a culture where everything is sped up. Shorter attention spans, quicker pace, smaller and smaller bite size bits of practice. This practice isn’t that…

You're invited to drop in to this month's session of Sva Sadhana Yoga + Ayurveda Training. Each month's gathering explores a different theme from the yogic and ayurvedic tradition. This month's morning session opens with Yoga Theory.

Following the lecture, an extended format āsana practice unfolds, weaving together āsana, pranayama, bandha, systematic relaxation, and meditation. These monthly drop in sessions offer a chance to experience the depth of a full training, with the flexibility of showing up for a single session. It's a lovely way to treat yourself to a profound practice, whether you're a training student or joining just for the month.

Please note, 6 months of yoga āsana experience is required for this session.
