Yamas and Niyamas

Known as the Yamas and Niyamas, this study supports positive lifestyle changes, and defines the ethical and philosophical code that all yogis must follow in their lives. Through meditation, lecture, and spiritual practice, students will identify and understand their limits, and then make clear distinctions and make directions for positive change. A class that must be visited again, Yamas and Niyamas continuously reveals its layers of meaning as life seems to revolve around each and every individual.
The Art of Teaching Beginners

Practice You
The gift of life allows the book of each individual person to be written as their own. This class introduces how to take more control over what it really means to be ‘you’.
