Why do we feel great when we do Yoga? Because with Yoga we are working on much more than just the physical body. While our body changes through the work of Asana, we begin to transform our thoughts into ones that are much more content and at peace! We become more comfortable in our body, our way of thinking, and simply, our overall Being!
Join me as we explore together how the classical Eight Limbs of Yoga take us on a journey of transformation! While we engage in the various techniques of Asana, Pranayama and Meditation, we integrate the support system of yogic ethics (Yamas) and observances (Niyamas), taking us to a much deeper place in our practice of yoga.
Cost: $35 including gst. Please pre-register.

This is an opportunity to rest and experience our lives in a different way. Students of all levels will come together to practice being present moment by moment for the duration of an entire day. As we do this, we open ourselves to the great mystery of what we are, experiencing it directly and profoundly. We will use a variety of meditative practices that are designed specifically for doing this in the midst of our daily lives, whether we are talking, eating, walking, working or playing. Some time will be spent outdoors, weather permitting. We will also look at ways of working with emotional resistance and obstacles that may arise when we attempt to be more present in this way in the world.
