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
LIVESTREAM OPTION AVAILABLE BY EMAILING [email protected]. RECORDING AVAILABLE FOR 30 DAYS.
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.

Restorative & Yoga Nidra with Carole Edmark
Sunday December 21, 2025
4:00PM - 6:00PM @ TBY YOGA: 1590 S. MILWAUKEE AVE, STE. 223, LIBERTYVILLE, IL 60048
Sunday night yoga practice – Chances are that on Sunday evenings you want to distract yourself from the busy week ahead. Or ruminate over to-do lists and what-ifs related to the week behind you. You may even find yourself caught somewhere in between those conflicting compulsions. Sunday Scaries are not conducive toward restful sleep.
What if you try something different? In this evening yoga practice, you can allow yourself to simply slow down and tune into your body and your breath. As you move through the poses you may notice that without even trying you can ease the tension, physical as well as psychological and set the mood for restful sleep and the week ahead. Following a 45-minute slow, restorative and gentle practice, we will conclude with Yoga Nidra.
Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation -- there are no physical movements or poses -- it uses deep breathing and mindfulness techniques as well support from props to calm the mind and relax the body. Yoga Nidra promotes physical, emotional, and mental relaxation which improves the quality of your sleep.
With this evening yoga practice, set yourself up for success in the week ahead with breathwork, meditation, relaxation and hopefully a good night’s sleep.

Yoga Beyond Postures: Cultivating Contentment with Julia Jonson
Saturday February 14, 2026
2:00PM - 4:00PM @ TBY YOGA: 1590 S. MILWAUKEE AVE, STE. 223, LIBERTYVILLE, IL 60048
LIVESTREAM OPTION AVAILABLE BY EMAILING [email protected]. RECORDING AVAILABLE FOR 30 DAYS.
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.
