Your Humanity IS Your Divinity: The Yoga of Radical Affirmation!

Sunday June 15, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am EDT

Jiminy's Big Tent

We are all gods and goddesses in drag! The universe is hiding in plain sight in us as us! But due to our negative talk, we don’t recognize our divinity. We’ve convinced ourselves that we’re not good enough, we don’t have what it takes, or that we’re flawed in some way. Tantra teaches that we are perfectly imperfect just as we are. As infinite souls on the journey of the heart, we are already whole and complete, lacking nothing, ready to create a destiny of greatness.
Join master yogi, founder, and internationally acclaimed teacher, Todd Norian, as he guides you step-by-step into the empowering philosophy and practices that affirm the truth of your infinite nature.
During this workshop, you will
- Explore the empowering and spiritually uplifting philosophy of Nondual Tantra
- Build inner strength, balance, and flexibility with alignment-based Ashaya Yoga
- Quiet the mind and cultivate inner peace through meditation, mantra chanting, and deep relaxation
- Receive hands-on adjustments to improve your alignment and go deeper
-Enjoy Todd’s music throughout the workshop

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a renewed sense of purpose, inspiration, and freedom to live your best life and bring more joy into the world.

The Obstacles That Distract the Mind and Disrupt Practice: Master Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra - Chapter 1, Verse 30

Sunday June 15, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT

Greylock Hall

A wise one once said: “The first step to solve a problem is to accept there is a problem.”

What are the obstacles to practice? How do we work with the challenges on our path? How do we reconcile our intention to be alert and focused, our longing to be open and compassionate with human tendencies such as doubt, laziness, distraction, edginess, etc. This is a common and uncomfortable place to find ourselves in. During our time together, we will discuss this verse and how to relate to the obstacles that arise when engaging in practice.
