3-Hour Monthly Sessions! A Different Theme Each Month!
Welcome to Immerse: Dragonfly Yoga’s Monthly Satsang, where we blend the mystical world of yoga and the practical side of healing. Get ready to embark on a journey that’s part enlightening, part bewildering, and wholly transformative. So, loosen your chakras, check your ego, and prepare to unleash your inner yogi. It’s time to embrace the metamorphosis of your yoga practice like a dragonfly shedding its old self for something new and fantastic.
Yoga has the ability to change your life. The technique, the community, and the introspection all play a role. There is no better way to experience the benefits of yoga than to immerse yourself in a structured program that, along with attending weekly classes, takes you deeper into all yoga has to offer.
We’re inviting our Unlimited Community Members to join us one Friday evening each month from 6-9 p.m. for a yoga experience grounded in community. The best part of a yoga satsang, or sacred gathering, is the real conversation that happens among community members. Each session begins with an opening ceremony and open discussion based on an optional brief reading that will be sent to you in advance. From there we will dive into the topics listed below, putting the yoga philosophy into action through felt experience and inspiring self-inquiry – without judgment!
Pulling from their decades of teaching knowledge, Alexis and Joe have culled the best and most interesting content to discuss. You’ll leave knowing more about yoga – and yourself!

LOOK WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING ABOUT IMMERSE
Taught me yoga is so much more than just asana (poses). Very unique in all their offerings. Able to use what I learn off the mat (in my life away from the studio). — Steve W.
The satsangs were insightful and lovely. They created a space where learning and growing in community could happen. Highly recommended! — Desiree S.
I believe community and creation of a safe space is always on the top of mind for both Joe and Alexis. The snacks are always a plus for the 3-hour workshops, too. 🙂 — Allison W.

Yoga has the ability to change your life. The technique, the community, and the introspection all play a role. There is no better way to experience the benefits of yoga than to immerse yourself in a structured program that, along with attending weekly classes, takes you deeper into all yoga has to offer.
We’re inviting our Unlimited Community Members to join us one Friday evening each month from 6-9 p.m. for a yoga experience grounded in community. The best part of a yoga satsang, or sacred gathering, is the real conversation that happens among community members. Each session begins with an opening ceremony and open discussion based on an optional brief reading that will be sent to you in advance. From there we will dive into the topics listed below, putting the yoga philosophy into action through felt experience and inspiring self-inquiry – without judgment!
Pulling from their decades of teaching knowledge, Alexis and Joe have culled the best and most interesting content to discuss. You’ll leave knowing more about yoga – and yourself!

LOOK WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING ABOUT IMMERSE
Taught me yoga is so much more than just asana (poses). Very unique in all their offerings. Able to use what I learn off the mat (in my life away from the studio). — Steve W.
The satsangs were insightful and lovely. They created a space where learning and growing in community could happen. Highly recommended! — Desiree S.
I believe community and creation of a safe space is always on the top of mind for both Joe and Alexis. The snacks are always a plus for the 3-hour workshops, too. 🙂 — Allison W.
