Topics include functional anatomy, hands on assisting, pre and post natal, philosophy, anxiety and depression. Many workshops are eligible for CEUs.
Introduction to the Yamas and Niyamas
Sunday, April 21, with Ana Bodnar, 11:00am-1:00pm ET, $40
on Zoom
In this workshop, we will review the Yamas and Niyamas as they are outlined in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and then reflect on them using various translations, including a commentary from a women’s, heart-centred perspective. We will discuss how the Yamas and Niyamas continue to be vibrant and relevant in our current times, and how importantly they apply as guidelines for our teaching and our lives.
Please bring your translation to class along with a pen and notebook.
