Body of Light: The Yoga of Self-Transformation.
Yoga and meditation can certainly reduce stress and give you a fit summer body. But that was never their original purpose.
For thousands of years, teachers and students have transmitted, practiced and perfected these disciplines as technologies for liberation. They were designed to change how we experience reality itself—to free the mind from confusion, limitation, and habitual suffering. Their aim was not comfort, but total clarity. Not optimization, but freedom.
What makes the difference is dharma.
Without wisdom, a posture remains a physical shape. With wisdom, it becomes a method for transforming how we see, think, and act. Dharma is the missing link between movement and meaning, between effort and real inner change. It is what aligns the body with the mind, and the mind with a purpose larger than the self we currently inhabit.
This year, Three Jewels celebrates 30 years of experience making Tibetan Buddhist wisdom practical, embodied, and relevant for modern life. Rooted in authentic lineage teachings and daily practice, Three Jewels is known for integrating meditation, yoga, and philosophy into a single, coherent path of transformation for anyone walking on the world today.
For this special collaboration with Yagoy Studio, Sachi Pettit—co-Executive Director of Three Jewels— travels from New York City to offer a rare opportunity to study and practice from this integrated perspective. She has taught thousands of people yoga, meditation, and dharma globally, and has trained and mentored hundreds of yoga and meditation teachers in New York City and beyond.
Over two immersive days, participants will engage in:
• Dharma talks that clarify the path to freedom
• Asana as an outer method of inner transformation
• Guided visualization meditations from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition
• Group inquiry and discussion
• Dedicated space for questions and integration
This is an invitation to practice yoga, meditation and dharma as they were meant to be practiced: as unified tools for aligning body, speech, and mind toward genuine self-transformation. Not as an escape from life, but as a way to meet it with clarity, courage, and depth.
A practice not aimed at feeling better, but at crossing beyond our current paradigms and limitations.
