The beauty of yoga is that it is so much more than the physical practice. In this workshop, we will explore the yoga that happens off the mat, specifically the set of yogic principles we call the Niyamas. These principles offer us a deeper look into how we interact on an internal level, bringing our awareness to the thoughts, actions, and inner observances that we direct towards ourselves. The Niyamas are the “seeds” that root us to who we are at our core and encourage us to explore all the possibilities of who we can grow into.
A large part of this workshop will involve group discussion and journaling around each of the five Niyamas to grasp the essence of each “seed”. We will also explore movement, breathwork, and meditation practices to connect us to these principles on a physical level.
Designed for yogis of all levels and experience, this workshop is the perfect opportunity for those who are ready to broaden their understanding of the yoga we can experience off the mat.
