Yoga Philosophy
Philosophy is one of the cornerstone offerings at Citizen Yoga. Our in-depth understanding of philosophy truly sets Citizen apart in the industry. In each class, we discuss philosophy that ranges from Vedanta, topic lectures, student questions, and other traditional yoga philosophy texts.
Citizen Yoga hosts weekly philosophy discussions led by Kacee and a few other Citizen Teachers. For the live sessions, all levels are welcome to join. Sign up for a live philosophy class on our Citizen Yoga Royal Oak Schedule.
These videos are pre-recorded from past philosophy classes, we recommend you listen as if it was a podcast and get your pen and paper ready to take notes!
