Yoga Off The Mat: Burning Bright Without Burning Out
Register here.
BAY AREA! I’m coming home.
What are you burning for? What's burning you out? And what does yoga actually say about the difference?
Tapas is one of yoga's core niyamas, often translated as discipline or heat. But it's actually an intentional fire. The kind that purifies, clarifies, and sustains you over time. Oakland is a historically revolutionary place full of changemakers who show up hard for their communities. And often, those same people are the last ones to take care of themselves.
This summer, Divya Balakrishnan's signature workshop series, Yoga Off The Mat, comes to Oakland for a two-hour live experience designed to change that. We'll move through asana and pranayama to build and direct heat, not to drain you but to fortify you. We'll dig into the philosophy as a living framework for the moment we're actually in. We'll journal, think out loud, and talk about what tapas looks like in the age of exhaustion and doomscrolling.
You'll leave with practical tools to show up for your community and collective liberation without running yourself into the ground.
See you there.
Date/time: June 6, 11am-1pm
