The Dharma in Difficult Times

In times of loss, change, struggle, and uncertainty, it can be easy to feel disconnected from purpose and unsure of the path ahead. In our study of The Dharma in Difficult Times by Stephen Cope, we will explore how the teachings of dharma and the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita can become a compass through life’s most challenging seasons. Rather than seeing crisis as something that pulls us away from our path, this book invites us to understand difficult times as part of the very journey that reveals our deepest calling and truest self. Through discussion, reflection, meditation, and community, this book study offers a space to explore courage, purpose, grief, and spiritual resilience—and to ask the timeless question: What is life asking of me now? If you are moving through change or seeking deeper meaning and guidance, this circle is an invitation to walk that path together.

This course welcomes both longtime students of yoga philosophy and those entirely new to the study of dharma.

Hi, I’m Alexandra. I’m a yoga teacher, author, and long-time student of yoga philosophy, and I’ve spent the last decade studying, living, and studying yoga philosophy. I’m the founder of the Mindful Life Practice / Mindful Bali, where I lead yoga teacher trainings, philosophy immersions, and retreats for students from around the world.

I’ve been alcohol-free since 2019, and my own path has required me to apply the teachings of the Gita in moments of transition, boundaries, and building a values-aligned business. The Gita has been a practical guide for how to act, choose, surrender, and stay steady in real life.

Over the past several years, I’ve taught yoga philosophy to many students globally through Yoga Sutra Study cohorts, advanced teacher trainings, recovery programs, and live retreats.

I’m the author of Sober Yoga Girl and the host of the Sober Yoga Girl Podcast, where I explore how yoga philosophy supports sobriety, mental health, and spiritual growth.
