I’m here to introduce a book club that brings our practice from the mat to the page and back again. Where we crack spines and dog ear in more ways than one. Where we create connection and community through the lens of self study. And where we transcend time and space using ancient techniques (like mediation) and modern technology (like zoom).
We’ll meet online on the last Sunday of the Month, each time with a book in mind though you can read at your own pace.
Each Virtual session or meeting will consist of 45 minutes of guided mediation and movement inspired by the book followed by 45 minutes of discussion, connection, and reflection!
Classes are donation based (suggested donation is $12) and you can donate through PayPal or Venmo to. Every session will be recorded and participants will be sent the recording after class is complete so you can come back to our practices and discussions again and again!
And if you haven’t read the book, no need to fear. I’d still love to have you in practice and hear your thoughts on common themes or understandings that we’ll chat about throughout!

As you know, for me yoga is so much more than a physical practice.
In fact, the ancient practice of yoga is an “8 Limbed Path” including guidelines and structures for you daily life, connection to the divine, and self awareness.
Lately I’ve been thinking about the yogic philosophy of Svadyaya which we typically refer to as “Self Study” but literally translates to “to do one’s own reading”. That sparked an idea. Why can’t I create something that embodies our practices on and off that mat while simultaneously honoring our personal and private journeys alongside an incredible community or union (which is the true meaning of “Yoga” anyway)?

The Power of NOW: A guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle
We’ll be meeting to discuss on *Sunday March 31st and *Sunday April 28th Online at 6:00PM.
“To make the journey into the Now, we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the very first page of this extraordinary book, we move rapidly into a significantly higher altitude where we breathe a lighter air. We become connected to the indestructible essence of our Being, “The eternal, ever present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle uses simple language and an easy question-and-answer format to guide us.
A word-of-mouth phenomenon since its first publication, The Power of Now is one of those rare books with the power to create an experience in readers, one that can radically change their lives for the better.
The Power of Now has been widely recognized as one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. A #1 New York Times bestseller, it has been translated into over 50 languages. The book has helped countless people around the globe awaken to the spiritual dimension in their lives, find inner peace, increased joy and more harmonious relationships.”
