Five – one hour sessions

At Green Tara Yoga or on Zoom

Join Mary Veal in person at Green Tara Yoga or on Zoom live for teachings from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. How does a text that is 2500 years old actually apply to modern day life? What lessons can we learn to help us understand ourselves and the world on a deeper level? This is not a book study group. This online course will introduce you to core and valuable teachings within the Yoga Sutras. Whether you are new to the Yoga Sutras or have studied them for years, each new experience in life adds wisdom and perspective to areas of higher learning.

Each session will start with a lecture by Mary Veal, followed by group discussion and time for questions. Any translation of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras may be used with this course. Each session will be recorded and sent to all participants, so if you miss a week, you have the recording to keep up.

To register, send your payment via Venmo (@Mary-Veal),  Zelle (maryvealyoga@gmail.com) or cash. Message, email or text me your email address for the course reading schedule. You will be sent the Zoom meeting link prior to each session.

Yoga Alliance CEUs are available for Yoga Teachers.

Yogini: A female yogi
Girl’s Night: A necessity

Obviously, we all love yoga. But what else are you interested in? Are you looking for some friends for those activities or hobbies? Come meet other yoginis as we enjoy some cocktails, snacks and fun mingling. This is for women only since we all need a Girl’s Night once in a while! This will be a great chance to meet ladies you see in class but don’t have a chance to chat with. This is not a yoga class.

This month’s focus will be on local women business owners. Women need to support women. Come meet some local business owners so we actually know who and where they are. This will not be a bunch of sales pitches. Just introductions. Please invite and share with anyone who would like to participate.

The April full moon, also known as the “Pink Moon,” signifies renewal, rebirth, and growth, aligning with the themes of spring and encouraging self-discovery and discarding old habits. Spring awakening symbolizes the earth’s emergence from winter and encouraging fresh starts and personal growth. It’s a period to reflect on past actions, examine emotions, and identify areas for change and growth. The full moon’s energy can illuminate what no longer serves you, making it a good time to let go of old patterns and embrace new possibilities. The April full moon is a time to reconnect with the natural world, spend time outdoors, and appreciate the beauty of nature’s cycle. Just as nature awakens in spring, the full moon encourages you to tap into your own inner spring, releasing winter’s energy and igniting a sense of vitality. The full moon’s brightness can bring clarity and insight, allowing you to see things more clearly and make conscious choices.

Honor this celestial event as we practice mindfulness, and set intentions for the future. You will be guided through breathwork, meditation, and Restorative Yin Yoga. Vibrational Sound Healing completes the practice.
**Aromatherapy is used throughout the ceremony.

Anger is a perfectly normal human response, but it can have significant effects on the nervous system when not dealt with appropriately. Anger and frustration can quickly trigger the sympathetic nervous system, activating the body’s “fight or flight” mode. Prolonged periods of anger and frustration have been linked to a number of health risks including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal issues and elevated cortisol levels. And these can lead to a weaken immune system. Mental health issues and feelings of loneliness, being misunderstood, or isolated occur as well.

This workshop will focus on fun and effective yoga and somatic techniques to enhance mind/body connection and release pent up tension and anger. The body holds emotions and intense experiences and it needs a healthy way to be expressed and released. Yoga and Somatic exercises are designed to release stored emotions and stress from the body.
