Falling Into the Moment: Breath-Centered Yoga with Ravi Dykema

Quiet your mental chatter and allow your sensory experience to fill you with joy.

Join us as we clear our minds and bodies through the practice Gitananda yoga, an ancient yogic lineage that engages the breath, or pranayama, as a central focus, along with movement, mindfulness, vocalization, and visualization. Adapting to anyone’s body, whether stiff or athletically toned, Gitananda yoga leads to a natural and enduring meditative state.
