Is This Transformational Journey Right for You?

Heart-Wise Living is a series of seven live, virtual workshops beginning on January 5, 2025. This program offers perspectives, insights, and practical tools to help you reconnect with your heart’s wisdom, empowering you to bring more depth, intention, and authenticity to various areas of your life. Over the course of these seven Sundays, you’ll join a community of like-minded individuals, each on a unique journey toward enhanced well-being, personal growth, and spiritual connection.

Past participants have shared that this program helped them gain awareness and practical tools for living in alignment with their deepest values and heart’s wisdom. Imagine how empowering it would feel to identify and release outdated stories or limiting beliefs that no longer serve your highest good. Visualize the confidence that arises when your intuition and spiritual guidance are more accessible, aligning you with a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment.


 

KARUNA CIRCLE SANGHA

Mondays, 8PM PT on Zoom - FREE

Are you in need of loving kindness in your life? Do you know someone who is in need of loving kindness? Is there someone with whom you would like to reach a loving and kind place with, even though that may not be possible for whatever reason?

"Karunā" (pronounced: kuh-roo-nah) translates to "compassion" or "empathy" and is of significant importance in the path of yoga. Karunā is a universal virtue that transcends cultural and spiritual boundaries and emphasizes the importance of empathy, kindness, and altruism in building a more compassionate and harmonious world, where individuals support and care for one another in times of need. Yoga teaches that a compassionate heart, coupled with wisdom, is essential for the liberation of oneself and others from suffering.

We welcome you to attend if you would like to give or receive loving kindness for yourself, for others, or for our collective consciousness. Our FREE online Karunā Circle is on Monday evenings at 8pm PT on Zoom. All are welcome.

There isn’t anything like YFL out there. The instructors are truly above and beyond other yoga offerings.

I learned so much, and made more progress on opening my hips in this 75 minutes than I had in months of other yoga classes.

Community, rigor, intentionality. The Universal Yoga lineage brings its own feel to this studio, which I find pushes me mentally and physically. I have been a member for six years.
