~ Yoga is a call to Action with Sierra Hollister
January 15 - 17, 2027
$350
Our yoga practice has the potential to heal and restore wholeness not only for ourselves but also for the world. Indeed, this revelation
and call to action is at the very heart of the practice waiting to be discovered and embodied.
Our practice is a path to yoke our body, mind and spirit, to yoke our individual consciousness to the divine and universal consciousness.
In this way, we are returned to our true nature, remembering that we are connected, not only to the divine but to each other. Any sense of being separate is an illusion.
We find our call to action right at the beginning, illuminated by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras as the eight limbs: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi.
These eight limbs provide a template of yogic conduct and are considered to be great and universal vows for all practitioners.
As our practice deepens, so too does our yearning for the liberation of all, for the cessation of suffering as well as the well-being, comfort, and peace for all beings. The connection and beauty found in practice feeds the yearning for that same connection and beauty to be reflected throughout the world. This yearning is meant to fuel your answer to inherent call to action that yoga is and always has been.
This weekend is an exploration of the great and universal vows and how we, as students can live our vows and embody the deep beauty and timeless wisdom of yoga with clarity and coherence.
Curriculum will include:
• The beginning path of yoga as illuminated in the eight limbs
• Appropriation and commodification of yoga over time
• Justice as a light in all realms
• Relationships of Repair
• Practices of Discernment for Action (or, how to stay connected
to the fire without getting burned)
• Self-realization off the mat, in the world & more
