Sharing a special moment from our Bay Area meetup in December as we get ready for our 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and made the event so memorable. We had planned for 50 meals… and ended up just 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 because so many of you came!

It was incredible hearing so many inspiring stories. Our community truly spans generations — from a 𝟭𝟬-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗼𝗹𝗱 to an 𝟴𝟬+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗶𝗱, and every age in between.

One of the most beautiful parts was seeing people who usually meet in online classes finally connecting in person. There were 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 🥰, 𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘁𝗵.

We also received so much love for our teachers and thoughtful feedback for the team.
A special highlight was 𝗥𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗶’𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝗮 🧘 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, which everyone loved.

Some people even 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼, even though they couldn’t stay long — and many of you recorded amazing testimonials. Moments like these remind me how fortunate I feel to be part of this 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

Our goal is to host many more events — 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿.

A big thank you to our wonderful 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗹 𝗝𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗞𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗹 for helping organize the event. We truly couldn’t have done it without your support.

Next stop: 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆.
Can’t wait to meet everyone there!

Anirudh Yes+1+2
Emma

Planning to go for our Himalayan Retreat with Sandeep.

Anil so Gomati’s class was on main schedule Monday and Tuesday this week, but when I looked today it wasn’t there again, I had to filter by teacher’s name, it reappeared and I could book. This has been going on for TWO MONTHS now, her classes are only on the main schedule intermittently, I just can’t comprehend how this could happen. So unfair on the teacher I feel like nobody cares.

Yes will be there +1
