Emotions decoded through Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda
Understand your emotions & reclaim your peace
Starting April 20, 2022
Emotions are part of what makes us human. To regain balance during turbulent times, it is necessary to explore our emotional terrain and understand our emotions for greater strength, power, and hope.
Join Ayurveda and yoga therapist Indu Arora and reclaim your peace, physical wellness, and contentment. Indu’s teachings focus on four pairs of opposites: joy (haysa) and sorrow (karuna); courage (veera) and fear (bhayanka); wonder (adbhuta) and anger (rudra); and love (shringara) and aversion (bhibhasta).
Through supportive yoga practices, mantras, meditation, and more, learn
- How to untangle layers of emotions through reflection, observation, and analysis
- Key practices to boost energy levels and grow emotional intelligence
- The role that food, colors, and objects such as gemstones have in aggravating and supporting emotions.
Finish the program with tangible and actionable techniques and practices so you have a toolbox readily available whenever you are feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

Session 1 April 20: Emotions Decoded
What are emotions? What is the evolutionary understanding behind them? Are they a weakness or a superpower? How do we harness their power? Explore these questions and more in this first and foundational session on emotions.
Session 2 April 27: Joy and sorrow
Explore how you can apply the wisdom from yoga, tantra, and Ayurveda to deal with loss and grief. Learn how to tap into the eternal, indestructible fountain of joy through yoga practices, contemplation exercises and simple choices of color, diet, and semi-precious stones.
Session 3 May 4: Courage and fear
According to Patanjali, fear remains in all of us—even in the wisest of the wise. Equip your breath, mind, emotions, and body to deal with this primal feeling by learning the yogic methods of stilling the warrior’s stance, gazing with the eyes of discernment, and acting with the tools of dharma.
Session 4 May 11: Wonder and anger
Learn how to invoke wonder and tap into its superpower to guide anger, fury, rage, and aggression to rightful action. Explore specific breathing methods, mantra, mudras, and kriyas to manage anger.
Session 5 May 18: Love and aversion
All emotions arise out of the beauty of love. However, if we do not harness our love, the pendulum swings quickly toward aversion, disgust, and hatred. Understand the psychology of aversion and how it is one of the primal emotions to inculcate the fear of death and loss.
Session 6 May 25: Peace, discernment, and balancing emotions
Explore how to connect with those things that bring a breath of relief to the mind, body, and spirit. Make peace your goal by loosening the grip of deep conditioning of emotions and allowing for inner peace.
