friday, oct 8th
6:30-8:30pm
$25

The yamas and the niyamas are the first two of the eight limbs of Master Patanjali's royal road known as ashtanga yoga. Not harming others, yama, the great vow and first step is supported by positive habits, niyama, treating oneself nicely. Asana practice, the third step, gives very special fruits when the one who is practicing asana is also practicing yama and niyama. The combination is magical. A clear and thourough description of each of the 5 yamas and niyamas, tips on how to go deep into each one in one's life style, and time for chanting the 10 sutras from the original sanskrit text will be the subject of this lecture. Open to all levels for people wanting some guidelines to help cope with life and make it sweeter.
