What's in the library:
You might be in the right place if…
The Bhagavad Gita has been taught for centuries as a text about renunciation, hierarchy, and duty. That's one reading. There's another — and it runs deeper than most teachers go.
The Gita's Garden Workshop — A 90-minute recorded lecture introducing the structure of the Gita, its four paths, and the seasonal framework I call the Garden of Yogas.
Includes a designed reference map you’ll return to. Take a look here.
Chapter Study Guides — Ongoing guides through the text. Each includes:
* Chapter overview
* Key Sanskrit terms (with transliteration)
* The philosophical argument of the chapter
Added as teaching continues. Yours to download or print.
The Study Community—A place to bring questions and think alongside other serious women.
Not a forum. Not a feed. A space for real inquiry.
✦ You've studied yoga seriously and want the philosophy to match the depth of your practice
✦ You've read the Gita — or tried — and felt the translation get in the way
✦ You've been in a yoga training where the Gita was assigned and under-taught
✦ You're in a season of change and want a framework that can hold that honestly
✦ You've found most Gita teaching either too devotional, too academic, or too focused on surrender as the only option
✦ You want to think alongside a teacher, not be guided toward a conclusion
Most women encounter the Gita in fragments.
This is a place to study it slowly, in context, and in the company of other women.

The Women's Gita Study Library grew directly out of the
Women's Gita Circle — a free, live, biweekly study
session that has been shaping this curriculum in real time.
If you want the live experience alongside the library — the discussion, the close reading, the questions that only arise in community — the Circle meets every other Thursday and is open to all.
Guided, but not led. Open, but not casual.
If you find yourself wanting the full immersion — twelve weeks, the Gita and the Yoga Sūtras in depth, feminist lineage and classical philosophy as lived practice — Sutra to Self opens once a year.
But that is later, and only if you want it.
Right now, the library is here. Come in.
This library supports women studying the Bhagavad Gita as part of a serious yoga practice. It includes in-depth study guides, key Sanskrit terms with transliteration, and structured commentary to help you understand the philosophical arguments of the text. Whether you are a yoga teacher or a dedicated student, this is a place to study the Bhagavad Gita slowly, in context, and in community.
The Teaching This Grew From

I spent more than thirty years living in contemplative community — studying the yoga philosophical texts not as a scholar, but as a practitioner for whom they were the organizing architecture of daily life.
I hold a certification through the Srivatsa Ramaswami School of Yoga, in the direct lineage of T. Krishnamacharya, and am co-host A Woman's Gita with the beloved teacher and author Nischala Joy Devi.
My father was a Fulbright scholar who studied the Upanishads, so I grew up at the edge of this conversation.
I have spent my adult life walking further into it.
The Gita is not something I translate for you.
It is something I help you read for yourself.
