Contemplate Life with Yoga: The Katha Upanishad

Wednesdays 8-9 am online only, by donation 

September 20 - October 25

Join us for a 7-week journey through the Katha Upanishad. This Vedic text is the first Upanishad that elaborates on Yoga. It's also the first text where the word Yoga appears. It's a classical tale, a rebellious teenager revolts against his father and wants answers. But the questions are not typical nor are the answers. He ends up at the doors of the great sage, Yama! 

We highly recommend this book as it offers important essays at the beginning to read!
