100-Hour Journey Through the Bhagavad Gita

Online Yoga Teacher Training

October 2024-September 2025

 
 

I first read the Bhagavad Gita over 27 years ago and it has been my companion ever since. For me, it is a wellspring of comfort, direction, and mystery. It renews my devotion, deepens my sense of purpose, and reminds me of the sacredness of even the simplest acts of daily life.

I am tremendously excited because this will be the first time I am offering a full-length, year-long deep dive into this text. Verse by verse, we’ll make a pilgrimage through all 700 verses of the Gita. My hope is that through our conversations the characters and themes will come leaping off the pages in a way that makes them relevant, relatable, and endlessly engaging.
