Seeing & Understanding Bodies (SUB)
The SUB series takes an in-depth look at a region of the body. We will study how the principles of asana can be brought to life in the region. Students will explore ways to cultivate their abilities to see and understand the region within themselves and within their fellow students. |

8 Limbs of Yoga
This series of classes will help us develop our understanding of yama (values), niyama (observances), asana (physical practice), pranayama (breathing), pratyahara (re-directing the sense organs), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (unity with the divine). Students will study how these limbs relate to the practice of yoga. Reading, writing and experiential assignments will be given to help us integrate the eight limbs of yoga. |
