Coming together as a community is something we highly value at Satya. While each of us leads lives across a diverse array of experiences, beliefs, and backgrounds, the practice of yoga is what unites us all, building a greater connection with ourselves, each other, and the world.  

Community Conversations is an offering where members of the Satya community – and beyond – continue the unifying practice of yoga through intentional, facilitated dialogue. Much like the physical practice of yoga asana (poses), the practice of intentional conversation is a practice of connection and awareness. As we exercise our capacity for purposeful, patient, and honest communication, we gain a greater understanding of ourselves and others, build a stronger sense of community and our common humanity, allowing us to carry compassion forward into the rest of our lives. 

Our Community Conversation theme for Summer 2026 is Righteous Defiance.

To defy injustice is to engage in a radical act of love. It is a willingness to act in accordance with what is morally salient, to fight for what you know is right even – and especially – in the face of tremendous opposition. This defiance is not simple nor is it selfish; it is a moral obligation we have to meet the moment with love and kindness and hope for a better future that we know is possible. 

Participants are encouraged to bring something to the metaphorical and literal table, should they be both willing and able. The last Thursday of every month will be an Open House for Community Conversations where Satya friends can gather to simply get to know one another and eat delicious food prepared by the community. 

What happens in the moments between?

Between the inhale and exhale.

Between stillness and movement.

Between who we have been and who we are becoming.

Join us for an immersive yoga workshop exploring liminal space—the sacred threshold where transformation begins. Through mindful movement, meditation, breath practices inspired by kumbhaka (the pause between breaths), music, literature, and creative expression, we will explore the landscape of the “in-between.” Like the desert at twilight, liminal spaces invite us to slow down, listen deeply, and become present with what is unfolding.

This workshop will include:

- A grounding yoga practice exploring transitions and awareness

- Breathwork and meditation centered around the pause of kumbhaka

- Desert-inspired readings and reflections

- An intuitive breath-painting practice, allowing the breath to become a creative force

- Time for quiet reflection and integration

You do not need to create anything perfect. You do not need to arrive anywhere. The invitation is simply to enter the space between—where breath becomes movement, silence becomes wisdom, and the unknown becomes a place of possibility. Come explore the threshold. The breath is the doorway. The pause is the place where we meet ourselves.

Join Hollie for a time of preparation as we move from the expansion of Summer to the wisdom of Late Summer. Pulling from astrological, taoist, and other ancient & modern philosophies, we will honor the unique transition of Summer to Late Summer, consider our collective growth through study and discussion, finishing with an embodied Yin practice.

Pulling from astrological, taoist, and other ancient philosophies, we will honor this initiatory energy through contemplation of the essence of the season. We will review how this time of year was translated in ancient astrology, look at current astrological movements of the stars, and find threads of integration with how it is connected to our own bodies through theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

During this practice we can spend some time looking at individual birth charts. Reach out to Hollie if you need a copy of yours.

The workshop will conclude with a contemplative Yin practice where we can allow the activity of the mind to settle into the wisdom of the body.

Calling all tweens and middle schoolers who are settling into a new school year! Join Amber for this three-part workshop rooted in a loving kindness practice that aims to help tweens channel compassion toward themselves and others as they go back to school in the fall. During each session, we will ground with an affirmation practice, move through a short yoga sequence made just for tweens, and build community with a takeaway craft project. 

Session 1: Glow Recipe
We’ll channel loving kindness to glow from within, with the affirmation “May I be happy and healthy.” Our yoga practice will inspire self-compassion and confidence, and after we move together we’ll make a self-care craft. 

Session 2, Aug. 23: Besties 
Now that we’ve practiced self-love, we’ll begin to shine compassion out toward our besties. We’ll practice partner poses and share affirmations with one another. We’ll close our time together by making friendship crafts: one to keep, one to share.  

Session 3, Aug. 30: Squad Goals
In our last session, we’ll take all this loving kindness and really reach it out beyond ourselves and our besties. We’ll move through heart-opening poses to prepare for sharing the love, even when it’s uncomfortable. We’ll make something to share with others, reminding all of those around us that they matter and they deserve to glow from within, too.

A nurturing all-levels workshop designed to reconnect you with your creative flow. Led by Jorden, this experience weaves together accessible therapeutic yoga to balance body and mind, gentle practices to clear creative blockages, and guided meditative doodling (zentangle) with simple, supportive instruction. Materials are provided, though you’re welcome to bring your favorite pens or sketchbook.

Whether you cook, teach, write, paint, or simply feel the pull to make something, this workshop offers an accessible toolkit to help you rediscover and trust your creative voice. Expect to clear mental fog, soften inner resistance, and spark fresh inspiration.

Held under the energy of August’s Sturgeon Moon, a time associated with abundance, resilience, and honoring what has come to fruition, this workshop invites you to pause and reconnect with your inner creative rhythms. Together, we’ll create space for clarity, intuition, and renewed inspiration while honoring what is ready to be expressed.

We’ll close with traditionally restorative poses and Yoga Nidra to help integrate the experience, leaving you grounded, replenished, and gently inspired for whatever you’re creating next.

Yoga is a lifelong practice, one that continues to evolve as we do. The Living Yoga Series is an open-format exploration designed to support that journey. Like Mary's weekly classes, each session begins by checking in with participants to discover what everyone is curious to explore. Rather than following a set curriculum, the conversation and practice are shaped by your questions and experiences. This series offers more time and space to slow down, ask questions, and dive deeper into the practice together.

Together, we'll explore topics such as the meaning and pronunciation of Om, building strength and stability in transitions and postures, practical ways to use yoga as a resource for navigating challenging times, and more. Whether we're exploring the mechanics of a pose or the deeper teachings behind the practice, each session offers insights and practical tools you can carry into your everyday life.

As the series unfolds, each session naturally builds on the questions and conversations that come before, deepening our collective exploration. At the same time, each gathering stands on its own, so you're welcome to join for one session or all three. Come with a specific question or simply a curiosity to dive deeper.
