Raaj Yoga - Foundations of Yoga Practice

Thursdays, 6:15-7:15am

Start your day with a steady and balanced yoga practice designed to harmonize body, mind, and energy. All are welcome—no prior experience needed.

Each class includes:

  • Asana – posture and movement to strengthen and align the body
  • Pranayama – breathing practices to calm and regulate energy
  • Relaxation – deep rest to restore the nervous system
  • Dhyana – meditation to cultivate awareness and inner stillness

Together, these practices support strength, flexibility, balance, and clarity of mind. 

Through steady practice, Raaj Yoga helps awaken your full awareness so you can meet each moment with presence and bring your true gifts into the world.

The teacher, Gobind Singh Khalsa, is a father, leader, and teacher who has studied and practiced yoga and contemplative disciplines for more than 25 years. His experience includes Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, and martial arts, with a focus on conscious living—integrating breath, movement, relaxation, meditation, and conscious action into daily life

Seasoned Souls

Tuesdays, 10:00-11:30am
Location: On Zoom
      Seasoned Souls wants you, that is if you are over age 60, share UU values, and would like to explore thought provoking ideas with other seniors. For over seven years we gathered Tuesday mornings 10:00 to 11:30 to consider, both individually and as a group, a wide variety of topics.  We now meet only on Zoom.
      Here are just a few examples of what we’ve chewed on over the years: permaculture, resilience, forgiveness, prayer, hatred, blessings, regrets, opening the heart, possibilities, friendship, aloneness, humor, belonging. Members take turns choosing a topic and then send out a brief resource for reading or viewing before our meetings. We begin with opening words, then check-in on how our spirit is, followed by the reading and individual 5-minute reflections on the week’s topic.  Next we open up the discussion and end with closing words. Our sessions can be spiritually up-lifting and heartfelt. We heartily welcome newcomers! 
      Please email Jan Anderson if you’d like to be added to our email list!  JAN'S EMAIL

Thursday Connections Conversations

Thursdays, 11am - 12:30pm
Location: On Zoom
      The Thursday Connection Conversation is held every Thursday from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm on Zoom. All are welcome - there are no restrictions on who can attend.  The purpose is to create greater connections with each other. We start with a short reading and then have a short check-in - a time when people can share what is happening in their lives without being interrupted. After this, together we choose a topic to discuss. We never know where the conversation will go, which makes it so wonderful. We might start out talking about one topic, and then have the conversation change to a completely different topic. The topics are random. It really depends on what is happening in people's lives or the world. We just never know. In not having a specific topic, our only boundary is time.
     Join us and bring your joys, your laughter, your sorrows, and your worries.
