The 8 Limbs: The Yamas (in-person + livestream)
w. Kara Aubin . E.RYT, PAC, AYT

We learn Yoga on the mat, but ultimately our work is to take Yoga off the mat and into our life. This work of living your Yoga is not for the faint of heart; it takes determination to return to the path again and again. This three semester, asana-based series with Kara Aubin uses the 8 limbs of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras as a framework to explore how we can embody our Yoga. Each semester class gives both newer and experienced yogis an opportunity to deepen their Yoga practice using the ancient wisdom of the Yoga Sutras in a practical, hands-on manner.  

Part 1: The Yamas
During this asana-based semester we start at the beginning of the 8 Stages of Yoga with the Yamas and explore how we can live our Yoga off the mat by cultivating these five observances of evolutionary behavior on the mat. The Yamas will shape your relationship to the external world, and in turn shape your relationship to your internal world. 

In this five-week series, you’ll be supported by practices to:

- understand why Patanjali suggests we start with the observances, and not the shapes
- reference sutra-by-sutra to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as they outline the Yamas
- utilize the tools of asana, pranayama, and meditation to cultivate practices you can take off the mat
- be invited into small home practices and awareness to solidify your embodiment of these teachings
- begin a relation with the Sutras, a text that has guided the practice of yogis for thousands of years
