​We are ushering in a wave of positivity in the upcoming Yoga Yatra (Journey into yoga) designed to re-energize our yoga sadhana and dive deep into the tools that will help us cultivate a rich inner environment. Extending beyond the mat where practice is not just something you do, but something you live.
