Commitment to Practice
6-week immersion | January 18-February 22, 2026
This is an immersion for the ones who want to embody the mindset, behaviors and lifestyle you envision for yourself. During this deep dive, we explore the multifaceted experiences of cultivating a regular practice, a supportive mindset and lifestyle changes. If you already have a practice, we explore it further. If you are new to this, we'll explore a practice that suits your specific intentions. The cohort will be guided by Hansa, meeting weekly on Zoom + get access to recordings and resources supporting the work. The immersion includes 6 group sessions + 2 private sessions + weekly journaling/contemplation prompts + reading/audio/video resources.
Study of Self
12-week online immersion
This is for those who want to be deeply connected to Life itself. This is for the ones curious about the yogic and non-dual ways of viewing Life, oneself and the world. We will engage in deep conversation and provide various perspectives on topics ranging from the trivial to the mystical. This immersion does not require anything in addition to you showing up - as you are. There are weekly sessions (12 total), plus plenty of resources provided through the study portal, to inspire further inquiry. However, you decide to what degree you want to jump in. Why? Because the gift of Life is precious and we hope to nurture your willingness to fully receive this gift. The conversations are guided by Hansa & Jyoti, for whom the deeper questions about this so called reality and our relationship to Life is at the core of their inquiry. No previous experience required, merely a curiosity, open mind and heart.
About
Hansa has her heart in nature and deep silence. Her personal sadhana (spiritual practice) is to embody yogic values and living a sattvic, conscious, sustainable and simple life. She serves the greater community by showing up for others on the path, in a myriad of ways. VICHARA is one of the means of doing so, through privates, group sessions, immersions and workshops. Her prayer beads, NO MIND MALA, is another way she provides support.
She practices Ashtanga yoga, studies yogic philosophy at depth, and shares the perspectives of Advaita Vedanta and Kashmir Shaivism. She has nurtured a steady sadhana for the last 22 years and has been teaching in Ridgway since 2010. Her deep dive into a daily asana practice started in the Sivananda lineage, then the Satyananda lineage, which eventually lead her to the Ashtanga method.
She lives in Ridgway, Colorado, with her husband Jyoti and huskies Satya and Sage.
