Yoga Book Club at Behavioral Fitness

The Yamas & Niyamas
Led by Charlie Harrison, RYT 500

Yoga is much more than what happens on a mat.

Join us for an engaging and accessible conversation around The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele. Together, we’ll explore the first two limbs of yoga’s eight-limbed path—the Yamas and Niyamas—and what these ancient teachings might have to offer our very modern lives.

Through themes such as nonviolence, truthfulness, contentment, self-study, moderation, and letting go, the Yamas and Niyamas invite us to consider how we relate to ourselves, to one another, and to the world around us. Charlie will guide a thoughtful discussion that brings these ideas out of philosophy and into everyday life.
