24 Experiences. One Fall. Go Deeper.

A different way to experience yoga beyond the weekly class.

For eight weekends this fall, we're opening part of our Student Yoga Study experience to the entire Gratitude community.

Come Friday night for meditation, pranayama and conversations drawn from two of yoga's most important texts...The Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita.

Return Saturday and Sunday mornings for an immersive 1-hour, 45-minute practice in meditation, breathwork and self-study.

These aren't regular yoga classes.

They're the deeper work behind the practice...the philosophy, the breath, the stillness, the questions and the practices that help yoga travel with you long after you leave the room.

Come for one session.

Choose one series.

Or spend the entire fall with us.

September 25 – December 13

LIVING YOGA PHILOSOPHY

8 Friday Nights | 6:30–8:00 PM

The Yoga Sutras. The Bhagavad Gita. Meditation. Pranayama. Conversation.

Not philosophy as something to memorize.

We'll take some of yoga's oldest teachings and ask a much more interesting question:

What does this have to do with the way I'm actually living?

Each evening explores a different human question through the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita and The Gratitude Way.

FALL INTO MEDITATION

LIVING YOGA PHILOSOPHY

8 Saturday + Sunday Mornings | 7:00–8:45 AM

Meditation. Pranayama. Self-study. Practice.

These are not 20-minute meditation classes.

Each morning is a 1-hour, 45-minute immersive practice designed to give us something most of us rarely create for ourselves...

time to stop.

Time to breathe.
Time to observe.
Time to practice.
Time to listen.

You'll practice alongside our Fall Student Yoga Study cohort as we build a meditation practice across eight weekends together.

EXPERIENCE THE WHOLE FALL

Your Practice Doesn't End When the Weekend Does.

Every person who joins the Fall Experience receives lifetime access to a private VIP course inside The Gratitude Way on Skool.

As we move through the fall, I'll build the course alongside the live experience...giving you a growing library of every teaching and every practice.

Inside you'll receive:

• All 8 Friday night philosophy sessions
• All 16 Saturday + Sunday morning practices
• Additional video commentary from me
• Materials and resources from our work together
• A practice library you can return to whenever you want

Miss a weekend? It's there.

Want to repeat Sunday's meditation on Wednesday morning?

It's there.

Hear something in the Bhagavad Gita you want to revisit six months from now? It's there.

The live experience lasts eight weekends.
The practice becomes something you can keep.

Eight Weekends. Eight Questions Worth Asking.

Ancient teachings. Real life. A different conversation every Friday night.

For eight weekends this fall, our Student Yoga Study participants and our Living Yoga Philosophy community will come together.

We'll breathe. We'll chant. We'll meditate. We'll study. We'll talk.

We'll use the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita and The Gratitude Way not simply as texts to understand...but as mirrors through which we can better understand ourselves.

SEPT 25

OPENING NIGHT: BEGINNING TOGETHER

This first evening is different.

We'll gather as one community for our opening ceremony...those entering the complete Student Yoga Study and those joining us for the fall philosophy and meditation experience.

We'll meet one another, chant together, practice pranayama and meditation, and begin exploring the landscape of the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita.

You'll also receive your materials for the journey ahead, including a simple guide to the Sanskrit terms and foundational ideas we'll return to throughout the fall.

6:30 PM...plan to stay a little longer this evening.

OCTOBER 2

WHO AM I BENEATH ALL THE NOISE?

The Yoga Sutras...The Seer & the Seen

Yoga begins with a remarkable proposition: you are not every thought moving through your mind.

So who is aware of them?

We'll explore Patanjali's distinction between consciousness and the movements of the mind...and what happens when we begin creating a little space between the two.

OCTOBER 16

WHY DO I KEEP GETTING PULLED AWAY?

The Yoga Sutras...Practice & Non-Attachment

We want. We resist. We grasp. We avoid.

Patanjali offers another possibility: abhyasa and vairagya...practice and non-attachment.

Not withdrawing from life. Learning how to participate in it without being owned by every preference.

OCTOBER 30

WHAT CAN I ACTUALLY CONTROL?

The Bhagavad Gita...Action Without Attachment

Krishna's teaching to Arjuna is as relevant now as it was thousands of years ago:

Act fully...without making your inner state dependent upon the result.

We'll explore karma yoga and what it means to give ourselves completely to our actions while loosening our grip on their outcomes.

NOVEMBER 13

WHAT IS MINE TO DO?

The Bhagavad Gita...Dharma

How do we know what is ours to do when the answer isn't obvious?

We'll explore dharma not as some grand destiny we need to discover, but as the practice of meeting our lives, responsibilities and relationships with greater clarity.

NOVEMBER 20

WHAT IS REAL POWER?

The Gratitude Way...Power & Alignment

There is a difference between forcing life and developing the capacity to meet it.

This evening brings the ancient teachings into the Four Pillars of Freedom...particularly Power: Step Up...and asks what genuine personal power looks like when it isn't built upon control.

DECEMBER 4

CAN I STOP ARGUING WITH WHAT IS?

The Yoga Sutras + Bhagavad Gita...Equanimity

So much suffering lives in the distance between what is happening and what we believe should be happening.

We'll explore steadiness, acceptance and equanimity...not as passivity, but as a different place from which to respond.

DECEMBER 11

WHEN DOES YOGA BECOME YOUR LIFE?

Integration...The Gratitude Way

The final Friday isn't about learning another concept.

It's about bringing everything together.

Breath. Meditation. Philosophy. Self-study. Power. Alignment. Emotion. Spirit.

And one final question:

What happens when yoga stops being something you do...and begins changing the way you live?

Sixteen Mornings. One Practice That Deepens.

Saturday and Sunday mornings are different.

We practice.

Each morning follows a simple arc designed to prepare the body, open the breath, quiet the mind, and move gradually toward stillness.

We begin with gentle movement to prepare the body.

Then we use bolsters and support to create space for the breath...allowing us to experience a fuller, more conscious way of breathing.

From there, we sit.

Pranayama. Meditation. Chanting.

And then we come back and do it again.

Not because we need another technique.

Because repetition is where practice begins to become something more.

Most of us already know we should slow down. We know meditation would probably be good for us. We know how different we feel when we actually take the time to breathe.

The problem is often much simpler:

We don't make the time.

So this fall, I'm creating it for you.

Sixteen Saturday and Sunday mornings. A room prepared for practice. Bolsters, blankets, breath, meditation, chanting...and a community of people willing to show up and practice together.

You don't need to be an experienced meditator.

You don't need to know Sanskrit. You don't need to be flexible. And you certainly don't need to be good at sitting still.

You just have to be willing to show up.

The Morning Practice

GENTLE MOVEMENT
Prepare the body to sit.

BREATH
Create space and experience the fullness of the breath.

PRANAYAMA
Move from ordinary breathing into conscious practice.

MEDITATION
Sit. Observe. Return.

CHANTING
Close the practice together.

And then next weekend...we begin again.

This is for you if...

You don't need to want to become a yoga teacher.

You don't need another certification.

And you don't need more information about yoga.

You may simply feel like there's more.

Maybe you've practiced yoga for years, but you've always wondered about the philosophy underneath the poses.

Maybe you've tried meditation, but you've never stayed with it long enough for it to become a real practice.

Maybe you've heard words like pranayama, sutra, dharma, or Bhagavad Gita in yoga classes...but you've never really had the opportunity to understand what they mean or why they matter.

Or maybe life has simply gotten very full.

And something in you knows it would be good to have a place to stop.

To breathe.

To study.

To sit.

To ask better questions.

And to spend some time with people interested in something deeper than another workout.

That's what this fall is for.

You can come for the Friday night philosophy conversations.

You can come for the Saturday and Sunday morning practices.

Or you can experience the entire fall with us.

You don't have to become a yoga teacher to go deeper into yoga.

Choose Your Fall Experience

You don't have to do everything to be part of this.

Come for the conversations. Come for the practice. Or give yourself the entire fall.

EXPERIENCE ONE

Led By Roman Szpond

Roman is the founder of Gratitude Hot Yoga and creator of The Gratitude Way...an approach that brings together movement, meditation, pranayama, yoga philosophy, emotional resilience and the practical work of being human.

For more than twenty years, he's guided students and trained teachers to explore yoga as something much larger than a physical practice.

But this fall isn't about Ro standing at the front of a room giving lectures.

It's about practicing together.

We'll sit with the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita. We'll ask questions. We'll breathe. We'll meditate. We'll chant. And we'll explore where these ancient teachings actually meet the lives we're living today.

Ro will guide the experience...but the real teacher will be what you discover through doing the work yourself.

A Few Things You May Be Wondering...

Do I need to be an experienced meditator?

Not at all.

You don't need an established meditation practice, experience with pranayama, or any knowledge of yoga philosophy.

We'll build the practice together.

Is this a yoga teacher training?

No.

You'll be practicing alongside participants in our Student Yoga Study, but this experience is open to anyone who wants to go deeper into yoga.

You do not need to be a teacher...or want to become one.

What if I can't make every weekend?

Life happens.

Every Friday night and every Saturday and Sunday morning will be recorded and added to your private VIP course.

So if you miss a session, it's waiting for you.

And because your access is lifetime, the recordings aren't simply make-ups...they become a practice library you can return to whenever you need it.

And no matter which live experience you choose, your VIP course includes all 24 recordings.

Do I have to do both the Friday nights and weekend mornings?

No.

You can choose Living Yoga Philosophy on Friday nights, Fall Into Meditation on Saturday and Sunday mornings, or experience the entire fall.

What should I bring?

Comfortable clothes, a yoga mat, something to write with and an open mind.

We'll have the props and support we need for the morning practices.

Is this a regular yoga class?

No.

The Friday evenings are conversations, study, meditations and exploration.

The weekend mornings are immersive practices combining gentle movement, breath, pranayama, meditation and chanting.

This is time set aside to go deeper.

Give Yourself the Fall.

Eight weekends.

Friday nights to explore the teachings.

Saturday and Sunday mornings to breathe, sit, practice and return.

A community willing to go a little deeper.

And a private practice library that will remain yours long after our final weekend together.

You probably don't need more information about yoga.

Maybe you just need the time and space to actually practice it.

This fall, we're creating that space.

You can join us for Friday nights.

You can join us for the weekend mornings.

Or you can give yourself the whole experience.

THE FULL FALL EXPERIENCE:

8 Friday Nights + 16 Weekend Mornings

24 live experiences across 8 weekends

+ Lifetime VIP Course Access

All 24 recordings, additional commentary from Ro, and a growing library you can return to again and again.
