Community Sādhana for Conscious Living in 2026
with Gabrielle Semel, ERYT 500, AHC

Begin the new year in sacred community as we gather our attention, energy, and intention for a more conscious 2026.

In Classical Yoga, the human condition is described as one of misperception—a subtle distortion that colors how we see ourselves, others, and the world. The veils that obscure clear seeing are known as the kleśas: nescience (avidya), egoism (asmitā), attachment (rāga), aversion (dveṣa), and the deep-rooted fear of loss or death (abhiniveśa). These are not personal flaws; they are universal experiences we all share.

By recognizing these veils with honesty and compassion, we open the door to meaningful change. Awareness invites new patterns of thought, action, and relationship—allowing us to move through life with greater clarity, steadiness, and ease.

Join Gabrielle for a community exploration of the kleśas, followed by yoga āsana and prāṇāyāma practices designed to cultivate receptivity and inner spaciousness. Each participant will leave with a simple, effective tool to support daily self-awareness. Together we will anchor ourselves in conscious attention, inspiring and uplifting one another as we step into the year ahead.
