Yoga for Tranquility and Joy: Managing Mental and Emotional Well-being with Practice

Free Preview Webinar: Sunday, March 30, 2025!
Sunday Series: April 6 - May 11, 2025

Yoga practice employs the body-mind to seek and find the perennial “place in space,” that is always tranquil and joyful, the true Self.

Performed with the physical body, Yoga can enhance their mental and emotional well-being, both on and off the mat by dissolving the negative effects caused by the stress, strain and speed of modern life.

In this series you will learn:

  • how to practice asana and pranayama with skill and sensitivity to cultivate a tranquil (sattvic) state of mind

  • specific sequences to balance both overactive, anxious (rajasic) and dull/melancholic (tamasic) states of being

  • key teachings from Yoga philosophy texts that support your holistic connection and integration to the every joyful, lucid Self

Free Group Practice, with Optional Sequencing Activity

Friday, April 11, 2025
12:00 - 12:30 PM ET: Sequencing Activity
Tea Break
12:45 - 2:30 PM ET: Group Practice

In the first part of this session we’ll design the sequence together, beginning with an asana from the Level 4 (Advanced) syllabus as the starting point and work backwards, choosing one asana from each syllabus (Level 3, then 2, then 1) that will prepare the embodiment for the Level 4 asana.

We’ll then practice the sequence from Level 1 - 2- 3 - 4, adding in inversions and sharing any obstacles that arise (and they will) on the path, finding solutions to surmount them together.

The philosophical foundation for this months practice is from Light on Life, by B.K.S. Iyengar:

“Use the body to discipline the mind and to reach the Soul. Asanas, when done with the right intention, will help to transform an individual by taking the person away from an awareness of just the body toward the consciousness of the Soul. 

Body is the bow, asana the arrow, and Soul is the target.”
