Course Overview

What does it mean to live a life of abundance—from the inside out? This course invites you to embody the qualities of Goddess Lakshmi, the radiant symbol of prosperity, well-being, and fullness. Through mythology, movement, and mantra, you'll awaken inner fullness and honor the flow of shakti, the creative force that animates all life.

What to Expect:

  • 2-Hour Workshop: Living as Lakshmi – The Art of Deepening Your Backbend:

    Explore Lakshmi’s mythology and deeper Lakshmi meaning through story and asana. Use breath and alignment to stabilize, strengthen and move toward urdhva dhanurasana (full wheel). Cultivate openness, stability, and the embodied essence of fulfillment and abundance.

  • Lakshmi Mantra Practice:

    Chant a sacred Lakshmi mantra to align with the energy of gratitude and beauty. Let the power of sound guide you into deeper resonance with the goddess and her gifts.

  • Article: Be Wealthy, Be Wise – Yoga’s Guide to Prosperity:

    Dive into the yogic tradition of prosperity, where wealth is understood not as possession, but as a conscious, reverent flow. Learn practices that invoke Goddess Lakshmi through devotion, reflection, and energetic attunement.

Who This Is For:

This course is for yogic seekers, philosophy lovers, and anyone drawn to the sacred stories of Goddess Lakshmi and divine feminine wisdom. It’s ideal for those looking to deepen their spiritual practice through myth, mantra, and energetically attuned movement.

Why Join?

Goddess Lakshmi reminds us that abundance is not something to chase—it’s something to embody. It’s about living from a sense of fullness, with grace and generosity. With heart-expanding asana, mythic insight, and sacred Lakshmi mantra, this course reconnects you to the source of true prosperity: your own inner fullness.

Section 1
  • If you travel through India you’ll see images of Lakshmi everywhere you turn: she’s the loving, smiling, generous goddess with gold coins streaming from her hands. You’ll find her picture in the produce stands, the sari shops, in banks, and temples—even painted on the sides of trucks. Lakshmi symbolizes prosperity and well-being in their myriad forms. Now may be a good time to get to know this fascinating goddess and make a place for her gifts in your life. Are you surprised to hear that building and managing wealth is a solid part of the yoga tradition? No wonder. Many yoga students assume that...
Section 2
  • Lakshmi (the goddess of prosperity and good fortune) is the embodiment of contentment and possibility. Her story invites us to approach life from a perspective of fulfillment and abundance. Backbends can help us access this inspiration in practice, so that we can feel our inherent fullness and cultivate an open heart. This two-hour workshop will teach you how to stabilize your shoulders, strengthen your lower body, and use your breath to fill your upper body as you move toward a powerful apex pose: full wheel (urdhva dhanurasana).
Section 3
  • Discover the powerful lessons about gratitude conveyed by Lakshmi, the goddess of beauty and abundance.
