We learn Yoga on the mat, but ultimately our work is to take Yoga off the mat and into our life. This work of living your Yoga is not for the faint of heart, it takes determination to return to the path again and again. This three semester, asana-based series with Kara Aubin uses the 8 limbs of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras as a framework to explore how we can embody our Yoga. Each semester class gives both newer and experienced yogis an opportunity to deepen their yoga practice using the ancient wisdom of the Yoga Sutras in a practical, hands-on manner.
Part 2: The Niyamas
During this asana-based semester we embark on the second of the 8 Stages of Yoga, the Niyamas, and explore how we can live our Yoga off the mat by cultivating these five ways of thinking on the mat. The Niyamas serve as a guide for the personal work of Yoga, where we begin to see our worldview shaped by our practice. Asana, pranayama, and meditation will be our tools to experience the teachings of the Yoga Sutras.
In this five-week series, you’ll be supported by practices to:
- understand how Patanjali suggests we shape our citta vrittis
- reference sutra-by-sutra to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as they outline the Niyamas
- utilize the tools of asana, pranayama, and meditation to cultivate practices you can take off the mat
- be invited into small home practices and awareness to solidify your embodiment of these teachings
- begin a relation with the Sutras, a text that has guided the practice of yogis for thousands of years
