This immersive weekend is an invitation to slow down and return to the subtle thread of yoga. We explore pratyāhāra, the fifth limb, as the bridge between outer effort and inner stillness—and uncover how sound, rhythm, and simplicity bring us into greater clarity.

With Mysore-style practice, guided prāṇāyāma, Vedic chanting, autumnal Ayurvedic teachings, and inner-limb Yoga Sūtra reflections, this workshop offers both depth and practicality. Every session is designed to help you connect inwardly—not by effort, but by relationship.

Tara draws from more than 21 years of teaching, yoga therapy, and śāstric study in the Krishnamacharya tradition. Her teaching invites you to experience yoga beyond technique: as insight, orientation, and daily rhythm.

This is not about adding more. It’s about refining your inner ground—so that attention itself becomes the path.
