Initiation gathers the nine foundational Studies of Paramparā into a year of shared practice. The circle meets in person for nine Saturdays, with readings, video teachings and reflection continuing between gatherings. It is a spacious beginning for anyone ready to study Yoga more deeply and bring its wisdom into everyday life.
ENROLLMENT details >Each gathering centers one of the nine Studies. You enter through the online portal before the Saturday meeting, arriving with a text, question or practice already underway. Our day together includes Tantra-inspired Hatha Yoga, meditation, close reading, conversation and experiential work.
The study continues between gatherings through reading, reflection and practice at home. Across the nine Saturdays, the teachings have time to settle into the life you are actually living.
Initiation gathers for nine Saturdays across the year. Enrollment includes the complete sequence of online Studies and all in-person gatherings. Dates and location will appear here when the next circle is announced.
Initiation is for people who want to know Yoga as a living tradition—through story, philosophy, embodied practice and the questions shaping their own lives.
Some arrive at the beginning of serious study. Others have practiced or taught for years and feel ready to return with fresh questions. Initiation welcomes curious beginners, longtime practitioners and teachers seeking renewed depth through Applied Mythology and Depth Psychology.
A teaching credential is not required. What matters is a willingness to read, practice, reflect and participate in the life of the circle.
