A Four-Week Sunday Series on Zoom: 10 - 11:30am ET
Some of you have been practicing yoga for a while and you've felt its effects in your body and mind. But yoga is far more than exercise. It is a complete and ancient system for living, one that has guided practitioners for thousands of years. Some of you may be new to yoga, and this series is a wonderful beginning.
This June, we will return to the foundation and the source.
In this first module of our Eight Limbs series, we explore the outer limbs of Patanjali's classical path: the foundational teachings that govern how we move through the world, how we care for ourselves, and how we inhabit our bodies. These are living and transformational practices that you bring back to your life.
Each session offers philosophy, pranayama, and asana together so the teachings come alive as a direct, embodied experience.
Session 1 - June 7: Yamas I Our outer life. The first limb: five ethical principles that guide our relationships with others, with nature, with life itself. We explore Ahimsa (non-harming), Satya (truthfulness), and the radical invitation to practice yoga as a way of being, not just doing.
Session 2 - June 14: Niyamas I Our Inner life. The second limb: five personal observances that shape our inner life - cleanliness, contentment, discipline, self-study, and surrender. We turn the teachings inward and examine what it means to tend to ourselves as a practice.
Session 3 - June 21: Asana | The Body as Sacred Ground The third limb: posture but not as exercise. Patanjali describes asana as sthira sukham steadiness and ease. We explore the true purpose of physical practice as preparation for something deeper, and experience asana as meditation in motion.
Session 4 - June 28: Pranayama | The Breath as Bridge The fourth limb: the expansion of life force through the breath. Pranayama is where the outer and inner worlds meet. We explore classical breathing practices and discover how the breath bridges body and mind, preparing us for the journey inward that awaits in Module 2.
Module 2 — The Inner Limbs continues in July. Registration will open June 15.
4-session Series: $150 | Drop-in: $45 Mixed level. All are welcome.
