Kirtan & Community
July 18, 2026. 5-7 PM
Join us for an evening of kirtan—the practice of singing simple, sacred mantras together in a spirit of joy, presence, and connection. No singing experience or familiarity with the chants is needed. Through call-and-response chanting, we quiet the mind, open the heart, and cultivate a sense of community. Come as you are and allow yourself to be carried by the music, silence, and shared practice.
Ashtanga Intensive
September 18 - 20 2026
Brendan Smullen and Christiane Coste Cacho are coming to Yoga Sangha. Over three days, you will be guided through the Primary and Intermediate series alongside targeted clinics on inversions and backbends — plus lectures on Ashtanga history and the science of breath and the nervous system. Structured enough to challenge you, spacious enough to absorb what you're learning.
Prior experience with Ashtanga Yoga required.
Friday: Opening Circle, Guided Half Primary/Half Intermediate Series
Saturday: Primary Series, History Lecture, Inversions Workshop
Sunday: Modified Intermediate Series, Nervous System, Lecture Backbends Workshop
Your Instructors
Brendan Smullen found yoga while coping with anxiety at an early age. Generally practicing Hatha, he kept a consistent practice and began to develop a curiosity for new postures and transitions. Brendan started learning the craft of Ashtanga yoga while in Washington DC under the guidance of Maryl Baldridge and later David Robson and Jelena Vesic. Brendan practices Ashtanga as a means of stress management, lifestyle change, introspection and devotion. Brendan is a 500hr RYT and Certified Education Provider through Yoga Alliance and is a learner for life and has trained with several notable Ashtangis, but is principally a student of Manju and Sathu Jois.
Christiane Coste Cacho is an activist, yoga practitioner and nomadic teacher from Mexico City. Her background in dance, alongside her social justice work, drew her to yoga as a vehicle for healing, embodiment and awareness. While exploring various lineages of yoga, she found her passion in Ashtanga and Rocket® Yoga, balancing tradition with creativity. Christiane is a lead teacher trainer under Yoga Alliance, and a certified Rocket® Yoga Training Facilitator, offering training, continued education and workshops throughout the US and Latin America. While she loves sharing content, she strongly believes in the importance of continuing her journey as a student. She is grateful for her teachers and mentors -including David Kyle, David Swenson, Tim Feldman, among others- from whom she continues to learn.

50-Hour Yin Deep Dive Intensive
October 23 - November 1, 2026
Over two immersive weekends, you'll experience Yin Yoga beyond the poses, exploring how long-held shapes, stillness, and somatic awareness can create profound shifts in the nervous system. Through the study of fascia, meridian pathways, functional anatomy, and nervous system regulation, you'll gain both the personal experience and practical tools needed to guide transformative Yin classes with confidence.
Led by Michelle of MBodied, this training blends science, embodied practice, and somatic wisdom to help you deepen your relationship with yourself while learning to hold space for others.
More than a certification, it's an opportunity to understand Yin from the inside out: through experience, reflection, and integration. You'll leave with a deeper sense of embodiment, a comprehensive teaching framework, and the confidence that comes from having lived the practice yourself.
