Diving Deeper into Your Yoga Practice is an 8-month course that explores all 8 Limbs of Yoga in a slow, methodical way to help you integrate yoga into your daily life. You will learn to treat yourself with kindness and gentleness, and live with more peace in your heart. You will learn skills, techniques, and wisdom to live a life grounded in honesty, non-judgment, and compassion, toward yourself and others.

Most people start practicing yoga through the physical (asana) practice, but yoga has so much more to offer us. There are actually 8 limbs to Yoga, the physical practice is just one of them: 

Yamas (Restraints), Niyamas (Inner Observances), Asana (Physical Postures), Pranayama (Breath Work), Pratyahara (Sensory Withdrawal), Dharana (Concentration), Dhyana (Meditation), and Samadhi (Contemplation). 

This 8 month course is a deep dive into all 8 limbs of yoga and how they can improve your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. This course will leave you with an expanded understanding of what practicing yoga is all about, and how to integrate it into your life. Yoga isn't only something you do on a mat, Yoga is a way to live and be in the world.

Imagine if you could:

• Meet life's challenges with curiosity, rather than reactivity
• Develop a daily yoga practice that was exactly what you needed that day
• Learn control over your breathing to directly and immediately change your mood or energy level
• Have confidence in your poses, that you could practice and play with them to benefit your body on any given day
• Understand meditation on a deeper level as a way to connect to your desires, your motivation, and your true nature, to notice what is
• Be in community with other people who are seeking to understand themselves better
