About this Event

Illuminating the Self from Within: A Morning Sadhana Series with Jonni-Lyn


Monday and Wednesday Mornings
November 3-26 – 6-8am (NO class Monday, Nov 24th)
Moon Room

This November, as the outer world transitions from long sunny days to the dark warmth of Fall, we invite you to join us for a morning Sadhana designed to turn that awareness inwards and to your own light. Sadhana is a Sanskrit term for regular practice aimed at spiritual growth and achieving higher consciousness or enlightenment.

The pre-dawn hours are a sacred threshold, traditionally a time of potential and clarity. In this series, we will use this potent time to consciously move from the “darkness” of unconscious habits, mental clutter, and spiritual sleep toward the “dawn” of awareness and a connection to our true Selves.


Our two-hour practice will include:
  • Yoga (Asana): We will begin with a strong introspective practice to awaken the
    body, building into a sequence of warming, solar-inspired flows. Our physical practice will focus on opening the heart (Anahata Chakra) to receive light and strengthening the core (Manipura Chakra) to build our inner radiance and willpower.
  • Pranayama (Breathwork): We will work with the vital energy (prana) through specific breathing techniques. Practices will include Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) to balance the hemispheres of the brain and purify the energy channels, and Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath) to energize the body and clear the
    mind, making it bright and receptive.
  • Meditation (Dhyana): Our meditation sessions will be guided journeys. We will practice Trataka (steady gazing) on a candle flame to sharpen focus and symbolize
    the inner light. We will also practice visualization meditations, cultivating a sense of a sun rising within the heart center, spreading warmth, clarity, and compassion
    throughout our entire being.
  • Mantra (Sound Vibration): For the entire month, we will work with a powerful mantra to remove inner obstacles and align with divine energy, supporting our theme of illumination and new beginnings.



Our Monthly Mantra: Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha ( ॐगंगंणपतयेनमः)

This is a mantra to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. By chanting this mantra together, we consciously invoke the energy to clear away the internal “debris” that clouds our inner dawn—doubt, fear, procrastination, and distraction. It helps to establish a strong, clear foundation for our practice and our day, ensuring our energy flows freely toward our highest intentions.


Series Cost:

$200 non-members
