Yoga Basics Workshop: The Yamas & Niyamas
Event Information
Description
CLASS TOPIC: THE YAMAS AND NIYAMAS
The Yamas and Niyamas are the first two limbs of the eight limbs of Yoga. With five points each, the yamas and niyamas deal with good behavior toward others and disciplined actions toward Self. We will explore each one and discuss how we can be more mindful and intentional in our daily practice.
Be sure to bring a mat (there are some to borrow if you don't have one), drinking water, and a journal for taking notes. Bring friends and family for a fun outing. Children are welcome, but must be mature enough to engage in the lesson and practice.
Late arrivals disrupt and disrespect class, so PLEASE ARRIVE 10 MINUTES BEFORE CLASS TIME to get your spot and get settled. Directions to the studio are emailed to you upon registration.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS
Soul Liberation Yoga & Wellness goes beyond just doing physical poses. Ideal for those with little-to-no Yoga experience, these workshop classes explore Yoga one step at a time. Teachings incorporate accessible Yoga philosophy lessons along with breathing exercises (pranayama) and asana (pose) movement. We focus on executing proper and safe physical alignment, and finding the best positions for your unique body. Students gain a higher knowledge of Yoga that is balanced and holisitic, and are given practical steps to apply their learning to everyday Self care. The ultimate goal is to help students build their confidence in the practice of Yoga.
Classes are kept small and intimate to allow for personal discussion, individual attention, and connection building. These workshops are best for those who are serious and committed to growing their knowledge and practice of Yoga, wellness, and Self care. Lessons are specifically tailored for beginners and are casual, pressure-free spaces. Soul Liberation Yoga & Wellness is particularly centered on the Black community, and openly holds space Black LGB, trans, GNC, and queer identities. However, people of ANY background and identity are welcome.
