Seeing Challenges as Guideposts Towards Peace – Online
with Marc Mukunda Morozumi, E-RYT 500, CMT
August 9 - 23, 2022
Tuesdays: Aug. 9, 16, and 23
Our current times give us plenty of reason to feel frustrated, disrupted, and even helpless. How do we find a way out of these feelings? Can we imagine that life will ever become better?
Sometimes, even the idea that we need to transform something “bad” into something “good” can feel triggering. What if we could see the moment in time for what it is and then gain clarity in order to make our best move forward? What if we had an opportunity to practice awareness, acceptance, and action?
We can’t change the past, but we can transform our relationship with life events and see all experiences as guideposts. Shifting our perspective can help us to gain deeper wisdom and uncover purpose. Marc Mukunda will share his motivation for daily Yoga practice and living life on life’s terms. Whether struggling with personal or worldly stressors, join to discuss how challenging situations can become more manageable and serve as the directional arrows to a more intentional life.
In this online workshop series we will have time to write, meditate, discuss, and share as we investigate each of these yogic teachings:
- Tue. Aug. 9: Oneness of the Coin with Two Sides: Conscious Awareness and Duality
- Tue. Aug. 16: Pressing Pause then Play: Non-attachment, Practice and Purpose
- Tue. Aug. 23: Help is on the Way and Within: Peace as Stillness and Movement
- Sun. Sept. 4: Q&A
Live sessions on Tuesdays at 7–8:30 pm ET and a bonus Sunday Q&A* at 6–7 pm ET on September 4.
*Sunday Q&A session is open to everyone. Program participants will be first in the queue.

Testimonials
I always look forward to Mukunda’s classes. They feel supportive. Instructions of the class are very clear. His enthusiasm is infectious. I also end up with something I can take away. — Ryan
Mukunda is someone who you can tell really has thought through all of his theories and has his own spin on it but still is completely grounded within the traditional teachings. It’s just a really more digestible way to learn something that is so deep and ancient. — Sara
He always came up with colorful examples from his own life (and) from the scriptures. He has a talent for bringing them to life and relating them to things we go through. He really has a talent for dipping into and explaining many aspects of Yoga. — R.
