In this Talk and Q&A session, we’ll explore the concept of “saṃskāras” and how the various spiritual technologies found in the yoga tradition help to transform the trajectory of our lives by changing these habituated modes of experience. This is a central topic that helps us to understand the relationship between theory (or philosophy) and practice in the yogic tradition.

This event offers a glimpse into the themes and approaches explored in the full course on “Yogic Technologies” beginning October 29th, and it offers all participants an opportunity to get their questions answered, and to learn about whether either the Fall Sādhana or the year-long Sādhana School is for you.

In the forthcoming 8-week Sādhana, we’ll begin by discussing how the term “yoga” has evolved from its ancient roots to its modern interpretations, providing an overview of key historical and philosophical foundations. This will set the stage for a deeper exploration of the many branches of yoga, as expressed through a variety of different Sanskrit texts. We’ll also introduce various dualistic and non-dualistic philosophies, and discuss how these ideas inform both classical and contemporary yoga practices.

In this interactive event, the theory of saṃskāras (and learning about the spiritual technologies that transform them) will help you discover whether the forthcoming process of study and practice is for you. We’ll answer your questions about the full curriculum and how it can support your contemplative adventure, whether you’re a student, teacher, or a seeker of wisdom.

Break Free from the Chaos and Discover the Power of Daily Sādhana in this Half-Day Live Event

Getting off the householder hamster wheel for a couple of carefully curated moments every day has become increasingly important. We could say that the rise of meditation reflects a necessary response to the trend of scheduling every fleeting moment of our lives with something to do, with some way to “be productive!” Meditation and contemplative practices in general are timeless and found throughout the world’s wisdom traditions, but perhaps at no other time has its benefits been so exhaustively in demand.

But which form of meditation is right for me? And what about the rituals and practices that one does before and after meditation? What is the point of these other “limbs” of practice? How do I fit meditation in when my day is already completely full to begin with?

In this half-day workshop, you’ll learn:

The benefits of transforming meditation from an occasional practice into a central pillar of your life.

A cycle of practice that takes you from the “gross” body (light postural yoga) to the subtle body in meditation.

The theory of sound and vibration in yoga, and how it relates to practice.

A number of Sanskrit chants that you can incorporate into your personal practice.

A journaling reflection exercise that helps to integrate the experience of meditation.

The philosophy and science of nāda yoga (the “inner sound”)

The practice of uccāra (the “upward enuncation” of mantra)

The practice of nyāsa (the practice of “placing” mantras on the body)

Two 4-Hour Saturday Workshops

Yoga is more than just movement—it is a deep exploration of the forces that animate and shape our being. In Subtle Body Anatomy, renowned teacher Tias Little guides students through a dynamic and integrative approach to understanding the body as a gateway to awareness, healing, and transformation.

Bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary somatic studies, this course explores the structure of the body as an interconnected field of physical, energetic, and psychospiritual experience. Through embodied practice, meditation, and guided inquiry, Tias illuminates how the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems interweave with the energetic pathways of the nadis, chakras, and koshas.

Each workshop unfolds progressively—from grounding in the feet and legs to the expansive potential of the crown—offering practical techniques to sense, refine, and balance the subtle body. Participants will engage in yoga postures, breathwork (pranayama), and visualization exercises to cultivate greater awareness and integration of their subtle anatomy.

Whether you are a practitioner, teacher, or seeker, this course offers an invaluable opportunity to deepen your understanding of the body-mind connection and to experience yoga as a living, multidimensional practice.

In this 2-day workshop, you will:

Learn how the physical body interweaves with the energetic body through the chakras, nadis, and koshas.

Develop greater somatic awareness and refine your ability to sense subtle energetic shifts.

Explore the relationship between fascia, the nervous system, and the flow of prana.

Gain practical tools for using breath, visualization, and meditation to regulate energy and balance the subtle body.

Understand the symbolic and archetypal significance of the subtle body in yogic tradition.

Experience a progressive journey from the feet to the crown, unlocking new layers of awareness in your practice.

Integrate the teachings into your personal or professional yoga practice for greater depth and insight.

Receive expert guidance from Tias Little, blending Eastern wisdom with Western anatomical and psychological perspectives.
