Happier & Healthier: Building Your Sadhana

Friday April 24, 2026 8:30am - 9:30am MST

Palo Verde

Happier & Healthier: Building Your Daily Sadhana is a 60-minute workshop for anyone ready to align their lifestyle with yogic wisdom and inner joy. Together, we’ll explore how to weave breathwork, movement, meditation, and simple rituals into your daily rhythm — creating a practice that truly serves you. This session is both practical and heart-centered, guiding you to build consistency without rigidity, and discipline that feels like devotion.

Your sadhana doesn’t have to be long or complicated, it just needs to be yours. Through guided self-inquiry and reflection, you’ll leave with a clear, personalized framework for a daily routine that keeps you grounded, glowing, and connected. Because when your practice supports your happiness and health, every day becomes a sacred one.

Embracing Higher Reality: Yoga Sutra’s Essential Teachings on the Divine Within

Friday April 24, 2026 3:30pm - 4:45pm MST

Juniper Room

Modern yoga is recognized as the quintessential path for personal growth and wellbeing through personal practice. We excel in our identity as the practitioner, and celebrate the sense of the agency which yoga helps us regain. A classical understanding of yoga, however, celebrates the intersection of self-effort and divine grace. It encourages us to recognize how the profound insights revealed by yoga are glimpses of a Higher Reality which surrounds us, and boldly inspires us to embrace that Higher Reality.

In this lecture and discussion inspired by the wisdom of the Yoga Sutra, explore the nature of Higher Reality known as Ishvara (Yoga Sutras 1:23-29), the relationship between self-effort and divine grace, and how we can reconcile yoga’s focus on self-effort with the notion of trustful surrender to the divine.
