Welcoming all curious hearts.

Embark on a journey that ventures deep into the heart of the Yoga Tradition and your “Self” in this wide-spectrum philosophy and psychology series, taught by Butler University adjunct professor Lily Kessler. This fascinating, fun, and accessible opportunity offers a casual, yet potent, conversation around life’s biggest questions, supporting Yoga students and Yoga teachers, alike! Welcoming anyone who wishes a deeper understanding of the system of Yoga and themselves.

Is this online or in-person? This is a LIVE-online (& recorded) experience to be enjoyed in the comfort of your home, honoring your schedule. With each of our 6 sessions, a Zoom link will be emailed to you at the beginning of the week, as well as the day of the lecture.

What is the format of each Yoga Chat/Lecture? We will begin with gentle meditation visualization and breathwork, followed by a topic-exploration, full of gorgeous visuals where esoteric concepts become relatable to your daily living and thinking! Each lecture will also honor a specific chakra, as to layer and weave concepts together. We will have a break halfway through class.
