$90.00 Upanishads Book Club


The Sanskrit word upanishad literally means “sitting down near.” The Upanishads as a whole are a collection of spiritual teachings, not systematic or sequential, but more like a photo album of mystical experiences. Each one is unique and resonates differently with different seekers. Yet in beautiful and poetic language, they all address common themes, including meditation, philosophy, and the nature of consciousness.

In this book club, we will read and discuss excerpts from the Principal Upanishads and discover how these texts from thousands of years ago lay the philosophical groundwork for the yoga we practice today. We will be reading from “The Upanishads” translated by Eknath Easwaran.



Tara Lemerise

Tara Lemerise teaches the time-honored philosophy and practice of yoga in an accessible and joyful way. Registered with Yoga Alliance at E-RYT-200/E-RYT-500, Tara has been teaching yoga philosophy, movement, and meditation since 2005. She has over 9,000 hours of teaching experience.

According to Tara, there is nothing to “fix” with yoga. Instead, there are only more opportunities to understand and be more fully present to our separate and together experiences. She is known for offering clear and helpful instruction to students at all levels and makes the wisdom of yoga feel relevant and relatable.

Tara’s classes include action-based instructions in asana that are a result of study of anatomy, kinesiology and creative movement. In addition, Tara provides plenty of opportunities for stillness and contemplation in her classes, which are deeply influenced by her study and practice of Restorative Yoga.
