This course takes learners beyond reading yoga philosophy from texts and includes tips and practices that put philosophy into action. The Niyamas, the 2nd limb of the practice, are valuable tools for nurturing happiness, self-confidence, and deeper connection.
The course was designed with approachability in mind: a 5 part program to give the learner time to practice and reflect on each Niyama. Each part’s theme is presented with a brief lecture followed by a guided meditation and yoga practice with the intent of allowing practitioners to integrate the principles on and off of the mat. We will spend time defining and considering real life applications of each Niyama and then apply classic mantras and practices to bring it to life. Your instructor — Diane Malaspina, an applied psychologist and yoga teacher — will give you a solid understanding of the Yoga Sutra’s niyamas and a familiarity to incorporate these themes into your meditation or yoga practice.
