Reading as a Practice
A mindful four-part book club at Yoga Nest Venice exploring The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches through discussion and meditation.
Words. Reflection. Connection.
What if reading could be more than simply finishing a book? What if it became an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and connect more deeply with ourselves and one another?
At Yoga Nest Venice, we believe mindfulness extends beyond the yoga mat. Reading as a Practice is an invitation to approach literature with the same curiosity, presence, and openness that we bring to our yoga practice.
Through shared stories, thoughtful reflection, and meaningful conversation, we create a welcoming space to explore new perspectives, build community, and discover the ways literature can enrich our everyday lives. Our Next Read: The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches By Sangu Mandanna
