We recently hosted an evening workshop at Matcha & Yoga Studio in Paris, bringing together 15 participants for a session exploring the mind, the self, and the deeper meaning behind yoga.

The evening was led by Dr. Raj Hegde, who drew on insights from the Katha Upanishad and the Bhagavad Gita to explore how our senses, thoughts, and intellect shape the way we experience the world.

Participants were also introduced to simple practices that can be carried into everyday life, including breathing, mantra meditation, and reflection. These offered an opportunity to step beyond the physical practice of yoga and connect with some of the ideas and wisdom behind it.

The workshop brought ancient teachings into a modern setting, giving participants space to pause, reflect, and look at their everyday experiences from a different perspective.

Gatherings like this continue to create space for people to come together, learn, and explore what lies beyond the asanas.
