S25-10 Exploring Yoga on the Mat and Beyond: Connecting the Physical Practice With the Philosophy of the 8 Limbs of Yoga NEW
Class | Registration opens 3/9/2025 9:00 AM EST
This unique series will introduce students to not only the physical practices of yoga, but also a deeper, more philosophical element. Rachel will introduce the “Eight Limbs of Yoga”, the ancient framework and wisdom of how to live your yoga, a guide of sorts to move through life in a more meaningful way. Each class will have both lecture and discussion, followed by a physical portion of class. This will be a beautiful way to experience the mindbody connection through poses, breathwork, meditation and more. If you are interested in learning about yoga, or deepening your knowledge of true yoga and its ancient eastern origin, this class is for you.
Please bring yoga mat, (and optional yoga blocks and strap)
If you don’t prefer to use a yoga mat, adjustments can be suggested.
