We are offering a free weekly yoga class dedicated to the traditional, spiritual foundations of yoga. While many modern Western approaches emphasize yoga primarily as physical exercise, this class offers an opportunity to reconnect with the deeper, holistic roots of the practice.
Unlike posture-focused classes, this practice does not include āsana. Instead, we explore yama and niyama (the ethical foundations of yoga), Sanskrit mantra, prāṇāyāma (breath practices), bandhas (energetic locks), visualization, and meditation—cultivating awareness, discipline, and inner stillness.
This class is free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated.
