About this Event

Yamas & Niyamas

The Yamas and Niyamas are the first two limbs of Patanjali’s eight-limbed path of yoga. The Yamas offer five practices of restraint in how we relate to the world, while the Niyamas offer five practices of self-cultivation. Often described as ethical principles, they can also be understood as practices for working with the tendencies of the mind and cultivating greater clarity, steadiness, and freedom.

This five-week series explores the Yamas as a lived practice through asana, prana, meditation, and reflection. Each 75-minute session will focus on one of the five Yamas:

• Ahimsa · non-harming
• Satya · truthfulness
• Asteya · non-stealing
• Brahmacharya · wise use of energy
• Aparigraha · non-possessiveness

Each session will include:

• An introduction to the week’s Yama and its place within the yoga tradition
• An asana and prana practice inspired by the teaching
• A short meditation
• Reflection or journaling, with space for questions, discussion, or sharing

No previous study of yoga philosophy is required— All levels welcome.
