Exploring yoga’s ethical foundations together.
Join us for a one-year deep dive and thoughtful group study of the five Yamas and five Niyamas from Patanjali’s yoga tradition. Together we will reflect on these guiding principles, share insights, and explore practical ways to live them on and off the mat.
The 5 Yamas

Saucha — purity and clarity
Santosha — contentment
Tapas — discipline
Svadhyaya — self-study
Ishvara Pranidhana — surrender to the divine
