6-Week Short Courses

The practice of forgiveness is one of our greatest challenges and lessons. Yoga teaches us how to forgive by showing us how to connect with our inner wisdom. Through the practice of yoga, we choose where to direct our consciousness and how to accept what is. We learn how to forgive others, and most especially ourselves, by letting go and cultivating compassion. Every week we will explore how to forgive more deeply and embrace the freedom that this practice offers through asana, journaling, meditation, pranayama, and various techniques. At the end of this course you will have specific tools that will enable you to experience a genuine transformation of the spirit as you embody greater compassion and forgiveness to navigate the waves of change in your lives. All levels welcome.
