the 8 limbs: the niyamas
During this asana-based semester we embark on the second of the 8 Stages of Yoga, the Niyamas, and explore how we can live our Yoga off the mat by cultivating these five ways of thinking on the mat. The Niyamas serve as a guide for the personal work of Yoga, where we begin to see our worldview shaped by our practice. Asana, pranayama, and meditation will be our tools to experience the teachings of the Yoga Sutras.
