Yamas & Niyamas: Ethics & Self-Care in Yoga

In this comprehensive workshop, participants will be introduced to the Yamas and Niyamas, the foundational ethical guidelines outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. These principles, which encompass both social and personal observances, will be explored in depth to understand their relevance and application in daily life and yoga practice.

The workshop also includes a detailed study of the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, two pivotal texts in the yoga tradition. Participants will examine verses that specifically address the Yamas and Niyamas, delving into various interpretations and commentaries. This exploration will provide a broader understanding of yoga philosophy and its role in guiding ethical conduct and personal growth.

Furthermore, the workshop will address the practical application of these ethical principles in the context of yoga teaching. Participants will learn how the Yamas and Niyamas can inform and guide the behavior and responsibilities of a yoga teacher, both in and out of the studio. The discussion will also cover strategies for inspiring and encouraging students to practice these ethical principles in their own lives, fostering a more mindful and compassionate yoga community.
