With internationally acclaimed yoga teacher, author, musician, and founder of Ashaya Yoga!
Todd Norian
Arlington, MA, May 31-June 1, 2025, Wonder Yoga Studio
Happiness seems in short supply these days. All day long we are bombarded by catastrophic news media that’s enough to bring anyone down. What’s a yogi to do?
You can make a difference by making yourself happier. When you feel happy, your frequency speeds up. Negative thinking, pessimism, doubt, unworthiness, and anxiety disappear. You literally raise the vibrational field around you. When you’re happy, everyone gets happier around you.
Join master yogi, founder, and internationally acclaimed teacher, Todd Norian, as he guides you step-by-step into the life-affirming philosophy and practices that awaken your potential for unlimited joy.
During this workshop, you will:
- Expand your happiness through the Five Elements (earth, water, fire, air, and sky) using The Four Essentials™ of Ashaya Yoga
- Explore the empowering and spiritually uplifting philosophy of Nondual Tantra
- Build strength, balance, and flexibility with alignment-based, therapeutic asana
- Quiet the mind and cultivate inner peace through meditation, chanting, relaxation, and Yoga Nidra
- Receive hands-on adjustments to improve your alignment and go deeper
- Enjoy Todd’s music and chanting of mantras and invocations throughout the weekend
Practice alongside a supportive community of other heart followers who are ready and eager to increase their happiness. By the end of the weekend, you’ll have a renewed sense of unlimited happiness and the enthusiasm to bring more joy into the world.
Ashaya Yoga is an accessible, therapeutic, and safe practice for all levels of beginners to advanced yogis. Modifications are given and you’re encouraged to go at your own pace.

SCHEDULE:
Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Happiness as Vast as the Sky and Happy Earth: Become Steady in Who You Are
Open the sky and earth elements of happiness. Akasha, Sanskrit for space or sky, is the highest and most subtle of the five elements. We live within this vast and unbounded freedom of the sky that is filled with all possibilities. Earth, Prithvi, is sky condensed and contains the same potential for freedom as the sky, but in limited form. Earth is the most solid and stable of the five elements and requires us to stay present and steady even in conflict. Practice includes standing poses, hip openers, backbends, and twists, along with mantra chanting and a deeply guided relaxation.
Saturday, 3-6 p.m. Ride the Waves: Acceptance as the Gateway to Happiness
Like waves on the surface of the ocean, if we only live on the surface of life, we become like buoys, always going up and down. Through the practice acceptance, we sink the anchor deep down into source consciousness that keeps us steady through all storms. Water flows around obstacles and brings us to a place of acceptance which opens the gateway to a fuller and more joyful experience. Practice includes hip openers, leg stretches, forward bends, twists, and end with a guided deep Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) relaxation.
Sunday 12-3 p.m. The Heart of Happiness: Fire and Air: Breathe Your Dreams into Reality
Agni is fire and Vayu is air. During this session, you’ll ignite the fire of your desire for greater freedom and breathe your dreams into reality. You will come to know that you are worthy of a great life beyond your wildest imagination. Practice includes up-tempo warmups, standing poses, core work, hip openers, backbends, twists, and a deep relaxation to integrate all Five Elements.
CEU’s available for every session. 9 hours for the full weekend!
