YOGA EVENING PROGRAMS (Yoga Talks)
In addition to classes and retreats we also offer a range of evening programs. These are called Satsangs and provide an opportunity to meet together and explore a range of topics related to yoga practice and theory. Teachers, students, friends and family members are all welcome. Our Satsangs are held on Saturday evenings. In recent years they have been held on a regular basis in private homes. They provide an opportunity to mix socially in a relaxed and informal setting.
The program consists of a short period of chanting, a presentation, and short meditation. The program is followed by a shared vegetarian supper. We have also held film discussion nights. The evening programs are attended by regular practitioners and those new to yoga. The presentations are led by senior yoga teachers and international guests.

Here is what some people have said:
“Having not attended a Satsang in the past, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. A stand out for me was bringing the local yoga community together to spend relaxed time to get to know one another”.
“Very congenial atmosphere, good chanting, good chance to view the Swami Satchidinanda video, inspiring talk, good company”.
