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.

April’s Topic: Negotiating Obstacles & The Nature of Things (Sections 6-7))

The series meets on the third Saturday of each month through August. Additional dates are May 17, Jun 21, 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)

• April 19, 2025: Negotiating Obstacles & The Nature of Things (Sections 6-7)

• May 17, 2025: Klesa: Avidya’s Different Forms & Practicing Asana (Sections 8-9)

• June 21, 2025: Practicing Pranayama & Living with Ourselves (Sections 10-11)

* Additional date: April 1 from 9am-2pm also available.

Thermography, also known as Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI), is a medical imaging technique that uses a medical-grade camera to capture your body’s heat patterns. Abnormalities like inflammation or reduced blood flow can be reflected as temperature changes. While other diagnostic tools show the body’s structure or anatomy, DITI is unique in showing physiologic and metabolic processes. A board-certified MD specializing in Medical Thermography analyzes and interprets the images to identify vascular changes and thermal signs of dysfunction. 

Appointments can be scheduled for:

• Full body scan,

• Half-body scan

• Breast scan

• Immune health scan

• Women's health scan

• Area of concern scans. 

Every organ and body system has a unique heat pattern, like a “thermal print.” Due to its sensitivity, thermography can identify minor temperature variations in the early phase. These variations might indicate inflammation or a variation in blood flow often, even before we develop any symptoms or before it’s detectable by other conventional methods.

Heat patterns should stay constant throughout our lives and never change. Before the tumor grows, it usually establishes a network of blood vessels to feed it, and thermography can screen for these changes within 2 years of its onset. The earliest sign of a growing tumor is neovascularity, which can be seen with an infrared camera 6-8 years before any conventional methods.

Zorica Tomic, CCT

Zorica found Perspective Thermography to make a meaningful impact on people’s health and wellness, focusing on breast health. With her unique blend of educational background and deep-rooted passion for integrative health and wellness, Zorica is committed to the natural prevention of breast cancer. As an ACCT-certified clinical thermographer, she advocates for promoting proactive health measures while embracing a belief in the power of preventative medicine.

Meet Kylie Grogan

She has a passion for helping everyone feel their best and teaching them how to reconnect with their mind & body. She has been practicing yoga since she was 15 years old and teaching for almost a decade. Once she was shown what real yoga is, she realized that the path to a tranquil mind and healthy body is living with love and compassion towards everyone, everything, and showing this same love to yourself. 

Kylie is on a journey, she started by obtaining her bachelors degree in exercise and movement science. While she was earning her degree, she began her true path of yoga. She earned her 200 hour yoga teacher certification in the Iyengar lineage and became a reiki practitioner. This led her to crave more knowledge of yoga of the Krishnamacharya lineage. She has earned her 500 hour yoga teacher certification in the T. K. V. Desikachar lineage and is currently continuing her education to become a C-IAYT certified Yoga Therapist with the Surya Chandra Healing Yoga School. She is well aware of and will always be learning the therapeutic power of yoga. She is committed to continuing her personal self-study through this process, as we are constantly changing and growing. 

Breath, movement, connection has led her to better understand herself and others. Kylie was searching for answers, because she felt disconnected from herself. She was diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia and had symptoms since she was just a child. She craved natural remedies which led her to carve the path of healing within herself. She was then able to share what she learned with the world. Showing those that feel like there is no hope, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. She developed her personal practice in a way that is grounding, nurturing, trusting, freeing, so that she can move with grace and without pain. This flooded into her teachings so that she can help the world think clearly, because she had to learn to do this herself. In a world that feels like everything is constantly bringing you down, Kylie’s practice helps others feel, actually feel, rather than stay in this societal feeling of numbness. Kylie’s practice is gentle and soothing, she moves through each pose with kindness so that one is free from pain. She guides you into a deeply relaxed state with her calming energy and voice so that one leaves feeling tranquil, like they had a warm nourishing hug. She teaches others how to find  alignment that fits ones body and has a deep understanding of how the body works. She helps others create balance by finding and correcting imbalance in the body. 

Kylie believes that yoga is for everyone, and she is so grateful for her soul students that she has been able to help feel the best they have in a while and for the ones she has yet to help with these powerful holistic tools.

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.

Struggling with restless nights, difficulty falling asleep, or waking up feeling unrefreshed? This 3-week series is designed to help you improve sleep quality through gentle, science-backed yoga practices that calm the body and mind.

Each week, we’ll explore specific yoga techniques that:

• Release physical tension – Gentle, restorative postures help ease tight muscles and physical discomfort that may keep you up at night.

• Soothe the nervous system – Breathwork and slow movement activate the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling to the body that it’s safe to rest.

• Promote deep relaxation—Yoga Nidra (guided meditation) shifts the brain into a state of deep rest, similar to the early stages of sleep.

• Create mindful bedtime habits – Learn simple, effective nighttime rituals to unwind, reduce stress, and improve sleep hygiene.

By the end of this series, you'll have a toolkit of practices to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling truly refreshed.

No prior yoga experience is needed—just come as you are!
What to bring: A yoga mat, cozy layers, and an open heart for relaxation.

Space is limited—reserve your spot today and reclaim your rest!

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)

The Italy Retreat is Sold Out.

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.

Private yoga sessions will also be available.
