Svādhyāya: Encountering Ourselves

An online morning class intensive with Dave Charlton & Ranju Roy

10 Classes: Mon 13th – Fri 17th April and Mon 20th – Fri 24th April 2026 Meeting from 7.30-8.45am (GMT).

Svādhyāya is the 2nd component of kriyā yoga presented at the start of chapter 2 of the Yoga Sutra. Svādhyāya is an invitation to travel towards and encounter our Self. Traditionally associated with the practice of mantra and the study of sacred texts (often through chanting), the spirit of svādhyāya is to turn inwards and reflect on the nature of ourself in all its aspects, ultimately encountering the very source of our being. In this class series, Dave and Ranju will teach practices (āsana, prāṇāyāma and sound work) as well as facilitate discussions and enquiries into the nature and role of svādhyāya in our contemporary Yoga practice.
