Yoga for Life Course Portal - Stream Yoga + Meditation

Welcome to Your Yoga for Life Course Portal

This space is your online companion for the Yoga for Life series. Here, you’ll find the full six weeks of lessons, along with downloadable PDF resources to support your practice. Each lesson outlines the key themes we’ll explore together — both major and minor — to help you stay grounded and intentional throughout the journey.

Participation in the portal is entirely optional — the core of our practice will still happen in our live classes together. That said, I welcome and truly appreciate your feedback if you choose to explore this space. This is a pilot project as I begin developing online resources to extend the reach of the Stream Yoga + Meditation community, and your insights will help shape future offerings.

There will also be a WhatsApp group — optional to join — offering daily inspiration, supportive accountability, and ongoing connection with fellow participants. It’s a simple way to stay engaged and supported between classes — a space to share reflections, encouragement, or simply be reminded that you’re not practicing alone.

Thank you for being part of this journey. May your practice be steady, nourishing, and deeply your own.

You belong here,
Heather 🙏

Weekly Sessions

Week One: Karma, Sankhara, and the Power of Ritual

We explore the foundational principle of cause and effect (karma) in shaping our lives through conditioning or repeated action.

Week Two: Refuge and the Foundation of Safety

We explore what it means to develop refuge — a felt sense of safety and trust.

Week Three: Faith, Power, and the Mindset of Choice

We explore the quality of faith — not belief, but trust or confidence born of experience, repetition and understanding.

Week Four: Effort (Viriya) and the Art of Consistency

Exploring sustainable right effort (samma vayama) and how to align our daily actions with future well-being rather than short-term ease.

Week Five: The Support of Community (Sangha)

We highlight the value of spiritual friendship (kalyana-mitta) — wholesome, supportive relationships on the path.

Week Six: Celebration and the Upward Spiral

We close by exploring joy in the goodness of self and others (mudita).
