Understanding the Yamas and the Niyamas

  • Ashtanga Yoga Louisville 1860 Mellwood Avenue, #306 Louisville, KY, 40206 United States (map)

The first two limbs of Ashtanga (eight limbs) Yoga are crucial for yoga practitioners to understand. The Yamas (restraints) and the Niyamas (observances) are foundational and provide us direction in all we encounter both on and off the mat. Let's take time to explore and discuss these very important concepts.

We'll use the book "The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice" by Deborah Adele as a guide for our discussions.

This five-part series will take place every Sunday beginning January 5 through February 2 from 10-11:15 am. The class is FREE for AYL members (both limited and unlimited memberships), or $50 for the series for non-members to be paid at date of first class.
