The Ethical Foundations of Yoga: Looking at the Yamas and Niyamas

This workshop will be held at Flow Yoga in Santa Barbara. In this course we will look at the ethical foundations of yoga. According to the Ashtanga system of classical Yoga, the foundation practices of yoga are not physical or postural, not breath related or meditation focused, but relational. How do we relate to others? How do we relate to ourselves? Each one of these ten ethical codes of yoga is a complete practice. Some include non-violence, truth, not-coveting, contentment, and faith. Cynthia will look at the classical application of these practices and also bring the practices home into our direct experience by turning the practices inward. This workshop will be primarily lecture based but will also include space for journaling, meditative self-inquiry, and discussion.

Please see Santa Barbara Flow Yoga website for more information and to sign up.
