Yoga Teacher Training: Free Info Meeting with Julia Jonson & Sally Gill
Saturday May 24, 2025
2:00PM - 4:00PM @ THE YOGA EFFECT: 1134 E WASHINGTON STREET, GRAYSLAKE, IL 60030
Yoga allows us to get to know ourselves from the inside out. So, when someone says YES to embarking on training, they open a whole new path of learning and growth for themselves. Yoga Teacher Training is an opportunity to work through self-limiting beliefs and build confidence. It’s an opportunity to awaken the higher Self and shine like never before. And importantly, it’s an opportunity to guide others in their journey of self-discovery and help make a real difference in the world.

12:30PM - 3:00PM @ TBY YOGA: 1590 S. MILWAUKEE AVE, STE. 223, LIBERTYVILLE, IL 60048
This 3-week series explores Kriya Yoga and unpacks the yogic paths or margas of karma, jnana, and bhakti (action, knowledge, and devotion) - each designed to positively influence our behavioral patterns. Gabriel reveals how a belief in optimism, and channeling anger constructively, both link to these yogic paths. He also translates yoga philosophy into common, practical advice that will teach you how to live and embody your yoga. Each class will begin with a dharma discourse to clarify the yogic path followed by restorative yoga and pranayama to energize and tranquilize your nervous system. Don’t miss joining the man known as the 'Godfather of Yoga’ in Chicago – this is sure to sell out fast!

Yoga Beyond Postures: Cultivating Contentment with Julia Jonson
Sunday September 28, 2025
12:30PM - 2:30PM @ TBY YOGA: 1590 S. MILWAUKEE AVE, STE. 223, LIBERTYVILLE, IL 60048
Santosha comes from being at peace with ourselves and not striving to be someone else. We can teach ourselves to accept life without constantly wishing for something different.
Also known as contentment, santosha is one of the key tenets of yoga—it is a mindset that can be cultivated through mindfulness, gratitude, and acceptance. We can develop a more profound sense of contentment and peace by shifting our perspective and focusing on the present moment through faith and hope.
Contentment, or santosha, is a practice that deepens with time and effort. In this workshop, students will learn how to accept “external” circumstances, embrace self-compassion in daily life, be patient and gentle with themselves during challenging moments, avoid harsh self-criticism, and more.
This is a lecture-based format with a question-and-answer session. Students can attend either Livestream or in person. All students will receive the recording to view for 30 days. Class notes will be included.

Meditation Immersion with Julia Jonson (2-Part Series)
Saturday December 6, 2025
SESSION 1: 12:30PM - 2:30PM
SESSION 2: 3:00PM-5:00PM
@ TBY YOGA: 1590 S. MILWAUKEE AVE, STE. 223, LIBERTYVILLE, IL 60048
Meditation, or dhyana, is the seventh limb of Ashtanga Yoga (the eightfold path of yoga, as outlined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras). It is the stage that comes after dharana (concentration) and before samadhi (a state of blissful union with the divine or ultimate reality). So why do practitioners get so easily frustrated and give up on it so quickly? Why do some say they can’t even try because their minds are so busy? In this workshop, learn about the power of repetition, embracing simplicity, and working on lifestyle to calm the mind. This offering will include theory, context-building, and also techniques. Students will learn why meditation is a lifestyle – not just a one-off practice that stands alone. They will learn to adopt principles that cultivate patience and slow, gradual growth and move away from the “quick-fix” mindset.
After this immersion, students will have a better understanding of fostering a sense of peace that permeates all we do. They’ll grow to learn that meditation is a lifestyle that goes beyond just sitting down for a set time each day. It's about integrating the principles and mindset of meditation into everyday life.
