Join us for an immersive eight-month book club series as we explore Embodying the Yoga Sutra: Support, Direction, Space by Ranju Roy and David Charlton. Together, we'll delve into the wisdom of the Yoga Sutra through focused readings and discussions, connecting ancient teachings to our modern lives.

June’s Topic: Practicing Pranayama & Living with Ourselves (Sections 10-11).

The series meets on the third Saturday of each month for eight months. Additional dates are Jul 19, and Aug 16.

Patanjali's yoga sutras are the key text of yoga. Yet, for many yoga practitioners, its more profound treasures remain unknown or mired in obscurity.

Ranju Roy and David Charlton focus on 18 of the most essential sutras and show how each one illuminates the relationship between the body, the breath, and the mind in a practical, clear, and contemporary manner. The sutras are carefully deconstructed, put into context, and then developed into ideas for practice.

The authors examine the interplay of three key terms: support, direction, and space. They suggest that only by taking support on something can you establish a clear direction, and only then can a space open up to grow. This formula can be applied successfully to the body (in asana), the breath (in pranayama), and the mind (through meditation).

With illustrated asana sequences and suggested practices, Embodying the Yoga Sutra is both a practical and deeply philosophical book. Roy and Charlton give readers a whole new vocabulary with which to understand yoga as a living, vibrant, and dynamic tradition.

What to Expect

• Interactive Sessions: Attend in person or join via Zoom for a shared space of learning and reflection.

• Deep Exploration: Each month, we’ll focus on specific sections of the book, diving into topics such as practicing asana and pranayama, overcoming obstacles, and cultivating mindfulness.

• Practical Application: Explore how to embody the principles of yoga both on and off the mat.

Series Dates and Topics

• January 18, 2025: Introduction & Following the Path (Section 1)

• February 15, 2025: Yoga is a State of Mind & Starting from Where You Are (Sections 2-3)

• March 15, 2025: The Essential Method & Yoga and Wellness: A Therapeutic Model (Sections 4-5)

The Pause Before the Page Turns

As summer ripens and the rhythm of life begins to shift, we find ourselves in a sacred in-between, a gentle pause before the page turns to something new.

Join us for a deeply nourishing evening of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra designed to honor this moment of transition. With long, supported poses and a guided meditation, we’ll create space to rest, reflect, gather intention, and take a moment to just be in the warmth of August and the last of summer before the back-to-school season and busy fall routines begin.

Let this be your time to breathe between chapters, a time to soften, realign, and listen inward.

This session will include:

• Restorative Yoga – Gentle, supported postures to help release tension and open the body to relaxation.

• Yoga Nidra Meditation – A guided journey into deep relaxation, allowing you to align with the energy of the full moon and summer solstice.

The Light Within, Awaken to Your True Essence
A Yoga Retreat Adventure in Puglia, Italy

Experience a week of transformative days focused on uncovering your inner light amid the world’s ongoing uncertainties. Engage in twice-daily yoga sessions going deeper into the teachings of mindfulness. Share in conversations of the yoga sutras and ancient teachings as we move from the disruptive chatter of those inner voices to the peaceful tranquility of the heart. Align with the beauty and peacefulness of nature at this amazing retreat center.

Puglia, Italy, is a sun-drenched paradise known for its stunning coastline, charming whitewashed villages, and rich cultural heritage. With endless olive groves, turquoise waters, and golden beaches, this tranquil region offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty and serenity. Embrace Puglia’s laid-back lifestyle by enjoying farm-to-table cuisine and the hospitality of its welcoming locals. Whether meditating by the sea or practicing yoga at sunset, Puglia provides a rejuvenating retreat for both body and soul.

This captivating region is the perfect blend of culture, nature, and relaxation. Wander through historic towns like Alberobello with its unique trulli or Lecce, the "Florence of the South." Unwind on the pristine beaches of Salento or Polignano a Mare and delight in authentic dishes such as orecchiette pasta, burrata, and local wines. From hiking among ancient olive groves to exploring the enigmatic Castel del Monte, Puglia offers unforgettable experiences in an idyllic Mediterranean setting.

Join me for a week of healthy living as we restore the gift of a joyous heart!

The NY Post calls the region of Puglia magical, and Lonely Planet put it on its 2014 must-see places list. This area is full of historic and cultural sites. Beautiful beaches are easily accessible. Martina Franca, the closest town to the center, is old and charming, surrounded by stone walls with prominent Baroque gates leading to piazzas and narrow, winding streets. And the retreat center is known for its incredible farm-to-table dining, forested walking trails, and proximity to the Adriatic Sea.

Using the practice of yoga and meditation, Laura Jane has designed this week to support you in exploring the tools of stilling the mind and embracing your authentic self. The yoga classes will blend the disciplines of vinyasa flow with a strong emphasis on pranayama and meditation to still the roaming mind, calm the system, and live in a state of balance. They will cover the fundamental principles underlying the therapeutic application of yoga and how to incorporate these principles into your practice. Work to dissolve old blockages, unravel samskaras, and create new pathways to vibrant health and happiness. The result will be one of the most incredible, unforgettable yoga experiences you will ever have.

This week is a perfect balance between rest and play. Laura has discovered through leading and attending many retreats that traveling together and saying yes to life and its opportunities in the moment create lasting friendships and a gratitude for life’s abundance that will last forever.

This yoga retreat is for all ages and all life experiences, including all levels of yoga practitioners, yoga teachers, and bodywork therapists.

About Marian

Marian generates a broad spectrum of fascinating rhythms and functional harmonics by exploring the full range of frequencies within his instruments ranging from shimmering explosive highs to deep mysterious lows.

After spending 20 years in the corporate world, he began his career as a professional architectural and fine art photographer in the Chicago area in 1999. By being a long time hand drummer, he expanded his creative repertoire by expressing images also through the sound of gongs. Marian is a member of the Sound Healers Association and refines his advanced interpretation and application of gong sound healing under the guidance of senior instructor, lecturer and teacher Mitch Nur, PhD of

Embrace the Mystic Within

A Yoga Retreat Adventure in Turkey

Take this journey into the ancient city of Ephesus and the resting place of Mother Mary. This magical adventure will offer an opportunity to enjoy the beauty off the coast of Turkey which at one time was ancient Greece. It’s time to soak in the culture while going deeper into the healing tools of yoga. Gather with us as we take excursions to the Temple of Artemis which is considered one of the most important cities in Asia minor of ancient times, and today it is considered one of the seven wonders of the world.

We’ll have yoga classes, excursions, and the richness of the Mediterranean food prepared daily. Relax by the pool, hike the surrounding trails, and be willing to go deeper into a practice restoring the blessings of the female energy of Mary. The healing aspects of the Divine Mother await us as we venture into this healing land.

Using the practice of yoga and meditation, Laura Jane has designed this week to support you in exploring the tools of stilling the mind and embracing your authentic self. The yoga classes will blend the disciplines of vinyasa flow with a strong emphasis on pranayama and meditation to still the roaming mind, calm the system, and live in a state of balance. They will cover the fundamental principles underlying the therapeutic application of yoga and how to incorporate these principles into your practice. Work to dissolve old blockages, unravel samskaras, and create new pathways to vibrant health and happiness. The result will be one of the most incredible, unforgettable yoga experiences you will ever have.

This week is a perfect balance between rest and play. Laura has discovered through leading and attending many retreats that traveling together and saying yes to life and its opportunities in the moment create lasting friendships and a gratitude for life’s abundance that will last forever.
