Move into advanced postures by injecting the mystical into the physical. Ancient yogis understood that the body comes into the alchemy of movement when instilled with intention, purpose, and connection. Postures are skillfully introduced and sequenced with increasing intensity, infused with non-dogmatic Yoga philosophy, suggestions from one’s own voice as revealed in the chanting of ancient mantras, as well as the all-elusive sound of one’s own breath. Variations to optional advanced poses are offered so practitioners can work at their own level, moving through arm balances, deep hip openers, twists, chest expanding backbends and inversions.

Talking About the Gita is a 2.5-hour workshop and open conversation exploring how one of yoga’s most influential texts continues to speak to the complexity of modern life. Rather than approaching the Bhagavad Gita as something distant or purely philosophical, this workshop invites participants into dialogue with its central questions: How do we move through uncertainty? What happens when there is no obvious right answer? And how do we live with greater clarity and integrity in the midst of competing responsibilities, relationships, and demands? Through storytelling, chanting, guided reflection, journaling prompts, and partner or group discussion, Jules Febre and Joshua M. Greene will explore themes of dilemma, memory, time, action, and dharma in a practical and conversational way. Together we will reflect on how we spend the limited time we have, what continually distracts us from what matters most, and how meaningful action often begins not when everything is figured out, but when we are willing to engage honestly with the questions in front of us. No prior study of the Bhagavad Gita is required. Teaching for over two decades Jules Febre is dedicated to sharing the transformative power of yoga with students of all levels. With a passion for understanding yoga in a modern context and how it relates to an engaged and meaningful life, Jules strives to create an inclusive and welcoming environment in every class. Joshua M. Greene (Yogesvara) is Laurel Vlock Fellow at Yale University’s Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies. His biographies of survivors have sold more than half a million copies. For more than fifty years, he has also been a practitioner of bhakti yoga. He describes these two pursuits—eyewitness testimony and bhakti teachings—as united in their focus on memory as central to human behavior.
