Join Swami Sukhananda for ✨Yoga of Work: Spiritual Approaches to Daily Life✨ a refreshed online program exploring how yoga can support greater work-life balance!

Drawing on Patañjali’s Yoga Sutras, one of the foundational texts of yoga philosophy, this interactive program offers practical approaches to navigating daily responsibilities, stress, self-care and the intelligent use of energy.

Whether your work takes place in an office, at home, in service, in caregiving, in business, in creative practice or in community, Yoga of Work offers tools for approaching daily life with purpose and meaning.

Formerly known as Peace of Mind for Professionals, this renewed program reflects a deeper response to the increasing demands and changing nature of work today.

The program includes 10 weeks of live online learning, self-study material, 9 monthly follow-up sessions and optional personalized one-on-one sessions with Swami Sukhananda.

Swami Sukhananda looks forward to welcoming both returning and new participants into this next evolution of the program!

“I’m learning how important it is to relate to the world as honestly as I can. The more that I discover myself and what's true for me, the more that sincerity comes through. It takes courage to be truthful and share my depth, but it means I get to have a richer experience in so many ways.

Engaging in self-reflection and self-study has helped me to open into a creative process with myself. It feels expansive... It's changed my thinking and brings my creative practice beyond the physical, into my life in a more embodied way.

I really distanced myself from being in connection with that part of me. The part that is sensitive, attuned to energies that are beyond what I can see; a gentle, almost fragile, precious, everlasting part of my heart. And when I came to the Ashram, that part of myself became more accessible again. At that time, I held this image of a flower thawing, opening and blooming again. A part of me that was rescued.

I started to engage in the world from this place of vulnerability and sensitivity again, but with more compassion and trust. The more that this part of me is liberated through being creative, with my thinking, with my life and with my art, the more myself I become. In essence, that work is my spiritual practice.

The Ashram has helped me to come into a deeper love. Devotion to God is present in my day through this process; one of constantly returning to a deeper sense of self. A practice of not abandoning myself, staying with my own heart, loving myself, being honest, and learning how to be in service of that love in the world.”

⭐️Joining the trend with some Ashram nostalgia ⭐️

In the 90s, the Ashram was vibrant yet undergoing changes as our founder, Swami Sivananda Radha passed into the Light in 1995.

Still, the rhythm of Ashram life continued — Karma Yoga, daily reflection, Hatha Yoga, shared practice and moments of connection woven into everyday life ✨

“My eyes are fixed on Her beauty,
my mind wants to dwell
on the flow that comes from Her
filling me with sparks of Her wisdom.
Beauty has no virtue of its own, it just is.
Does the flower know its beauty?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I long to behold Her beauty forever.
She fills the sky, all stars are the embroidery
of Her robes
even the sliver of the moon holds
Her veil in place.
Her graceful feet are hidden
by the hem of Her dress
and all the silver stars tingle
at every one of Her moves
letting me know She is near.”
- Swami Sivananda Radha (My Eyes are Fixed on Her Beauty, poem)

Divine Mother’s beauty and spring moments at the Ashram!
