The first in a series of classes that will explain the practical teachings of the Bhagavad Gītā and show how its amazing teachings apply to our daily lives. Each class will include both learning to chant the Gītā (as it is affectionately known) as well as careful examination of several important stanzas. We will focus on the first part of the text.
Topics will include: how to determine the appropriate course of action, i.e. what to do and what not to do in any given situation; how to determine our responsibilities and role in different contexts; and how to clarify the intentions behind our actions.
The class will emphasize learning how to apply these ideas in everyday, real life situations. Through the class, we will experience that the true power of yoga lies not merely in the strength or vitality it gives the physical body, but rather in the profoundly positive changes it makes in our lives.
This class is open to all levels and new comers to yoga will find it as open and accessible as advanced practitioners will find it rich and informative. Each class will include chanting and textual explanation.

Chanting the Vedas is one of the oldest and most important practices in the Indian tradition and it continues today with great enthusiasm. Handed down from generation to generation through a process of careful listening and exact recitation, Vedic chanting brings about a state of inner silence: a moment of stillness with profound ramifications for our spiritual journeys.
The Vedas are the most ancient Indian text and the source of many of India's great philosophies, and Vedic chanting, which is quite different from singing (and from Kirtan), consists of three notes, emphasizes precise pronunciation and is one of the best tools for developing concentration and peace of mind. It is a practice with many healing and health related benefits.
Come join us for an experiential exploration of Vedic Chanting. In addition to significant chanting, the class will also present the rules guiding the practice of Vedic Chanting. All levels are welcome and the beginner will find the class as accessible and interesting as the advanced practitioner will find it rich and informative.

Weekend Workshop: An Introduction to Patañjali's Yogasutra – Explained and Chanted with Chase Bossart
Saturday, June 21st from 1:00- 4:00pm
Sunday, June 22nd from 1:00- 4:00pm
Cost: $150
An Introductory workshop that will delve into Patañjali's Yogasutra and show how these teachings apply to our everyday life.
In addition to learning how to chant the sutra, we will examine major themes and key concepts from the sutra, exploring their clear, practical meanings and how they can help us to live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Patanjali clearly explains how Yoga refines the quality of mind, clears negative emotions, creates positive habits/behaviors, improves our relationships, and brings forth profound spiritual experiences. Through this class we will see that the real power of yoga lies not in the strength or vitality it gives the physical body, but rather in the profoundly positive ways yoga changes every part of our human system.
Moreover, Patanjali's explanations are straightforward, easy to understand and immensely practical. If you are serious about your Yoga practice, or curious about what precisely the Yoga path is, come to this class and discover the full breath and width of how much impact the hour you spend on the mat can really have on your life.
Patanjali's Yogasutra is the most authoritative presentation of the how-s and why-s of the practice of Yoga. A short, concise text of 195 aphorisms composed by the ancient Indian sage Patanjali approximately 2000 years ago, it has guided the practice of countless generations of Yogi's ever since.
This workshop is open to all levels and new comers will find it as open and accessible as advanced practitioners will find it rich and informative.
