October Book Discussion: How Yoga Works
Gather for a free community discussion of How Yoga Works by Geshe Michael Roach. Through storytelling, the book explores the deeper principles behind yoga and how they shape our practice, relationships, and daily lives. Together, we’ll reflect on its central ideas, the passages that stayed with us, and connections to life on and beyond the mat. Come ready to listen, share, and participate in respectful conversation. No specialized yoga knowledge is required, only curiosity and a willingness to engage. Please purchase and read the book before the gathering. Advance registration is requested through Mariana Tek.
