Move, breathe, and relax your mind. Explore the wisdom of your body with simple movement, breathing and concentration practices from the yoga tradition. For people with any level of flexibility and/or yoga experience. Beginners always welcome.
… For the Winter/Spring semester, we’ll explore the “living laboratory” of the body-mind through the lens of the five Niyama-s, the second limb of the 8-limbed path described in Patanjali Yoga Sutra-s.
