If your teacher training said
“Bhagavad Gītā (any translation)”
and left you feeling underprepared —

you’re not behind.

You were given a text without its world.

I teach yoga philosophy for people who want depth without pretending certainty.

I’m teaching a free class this week for teachers and practitioners who want a clearer way in.

When women read the Bhagavad Gītā, the battlefield lands differently.

Not because we’re less brave —
but because we’ve so often carried the cost of violence without wielding its power.

This week I wrote about the question my teaching partner and I keep returning to:
Was the war inevitable?

The essay is now partially open to all readers.

The Bhagavad Gītā doesn’t begin with a teaching.
It begins with a crisis.

Two armies. One family.
And a question that still hasn’t gone away:
What is the right action when all choices cause harm?

Today’s essay explores how we got here — and why yoga philosophy emerges inside this story, not apart from it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Winter brings its own complexity — tenderness, reflection, and a need for grounding.
I’m offering two simple ways to move through the season with more steadiness:

🌞 Morning Practice (Tues/Thurs)
A 45-minute breath-centered Vinyasa Krama session to start the day with clarity and ease. Replays included.

✨ Winter Solstice Ritual
A gentle gathering with candles and incense, meditation, and a Tree-of-Life visualization to honor the return of the light.

If this supports you, you’re warmly invited.
Comment for details, both programs are online.

I’m honored to share that Kamala Rose Yoga has joined the Charter for Compassion’s Partner Community, aligning with organizations around the world committed to weaving compassion into every aspect of life and work.

As a former monastic, the Charter’s founder Karen Armstrong has been one of my great inspirations — her vision of a compassionate world helped shape both my personal practice and my teaching.

Together, may we live and lead with compassion. 💛

It’s not always summer. 🌿

This week on the Women’s Gita Podcast and the blog, I’m asking a simple but unsettling question:
How do we know when we’re taking more than our share?

From closets to consciousness, prakriti (PRAK-ri-tee) — nature herself — teaches us the rhythm of enough: circulation over accumulation, presence over excess.

Friends, I’m delighted to share: my first online course launches this week. 🌸

This has been a big project — learning platforms, creating content, filming, editing, setting up systems and community spaces. Honestly, at times it felt overwhelming.

But now that it’s here, I’m so glad I did it. This work feels like dharma — a return to teaching, which is at the heart of who I am.

I can’t wait to welcome participants into this space of practice and philosophy. What a gift to be able to share this in a way that reaches across distance, into homes and hearts. 🌿

The Upanishads say the Self is an unflickering flame in the heart cave of all beings.

The Vedas bow to the sun.

In one of our podcast episodes, we wondered aloud: Is the sun conscious?

Science says the heart emits a measurable field. So does the brain. The sun, billions of times stronger—what kind of awareness lives there?

Whether you take it as metaphor or truth, the message is the same:

You are not separate. You are radiant. You are part of something vast.

Sutra to Self is an invitation to live that knowing, not just think about it.

Most teacher trainings cover the poses, the alignment, and maybe a little philosophy. But there’s so much more to yoga than what fits into a weekend module.

When I’m preparing to teach, my desk turns into a meeting place for many worlds — open books, half-burned incense, my old puja cloth, scribbled notes in both English and Sanskrit. It’s where ancient texts meet modern questions, and where the threads between East and West are woven into something you can carry into your practice right now.

That’s what Sutra to Self offers — the wisdom teacher training missed, grounded in decades of lived practice. We start soon.
