Yoga School | A Yearlong Course for the “Scholar-Practitioner” | January- December 2026, Thursdays from 6:30-8pm
This course bridges my two worlds together, and invites the practitioner to wear their scholar hat and systematically dive into the historico-philosophical background of yoga. This class features two tracks: learning, and living. There will be sessions for information, and sessions for integration. All are included, but you can choose your own adventure based on what appeals to you. The “learning” sessions will be centered around the course material as listed on the syllabus. The “living” sessions will be an opportunity for student questions, practical application, processing and discussion, as well as asking questions about both the information learned and about one’s personal practice. The first class of the month will be content focused (learning), and the second class of the month will be integrative (living). Optional but robust homework and reading will be provided on the full syllabus for students who would like to participate with it, and supplementary materials will be provided.
The course runs twice monthly on Thursday evenings from 6:30-8pm, January to December 2026. Live participation is encouraged, but recordings will be made available by request for those who cannot join live.
The cost is $300; please reach out for payment plans and need-based scholarships. No one will be turned away.

Yoga for Difficult Times @ Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health | Stockbridge, MA Fri, January 23rd - Sun, January 25th
Difficult times are an inherent part of human life, and yoga uniquely prepares us to meet them with skill and presence. This retreat offers a container to revitalize and recover, as well as equip you with tools and techniques from yoga practice to face the challenges of life. You will leave feeling bolstered and fortified in light of whatever difficulties you're facing—personally and globally—with tools and techniques from yoga practice to live fully even in their midst.
The weekend will include posture (asana), breath (pranayama), and meditation practice with plentiful modifications to accommodate all needs; lecture and discussion of pertinent yoga philosophical concepts with concrete applications; and community connection. We will discuss how these practices and precepts correlate with the nervous system and directly impact physiology to shift from a sympathetic to ventral vagal nervous system response.
“Whenever you are in doubt, it is best to pause. Few things are so pressing that they cannot wait for a moment of breath.”
— T.K.V. Desikachar, The Heart of Yoga
