The Eight Limbs of Yoga
A Summer Journey into Embodied Living
The Eight Limbs of Yoga: A Summer Journey into Embodied Living is an 8-week beginner-friendly educational wellness series designed to introduce participants to yoga as a complete path of personal growth, self-awareness, ethical living, embodied practice, and contemplative development.
Rather than focusing only on physical postures, this series explores the broader yogic tradition through the classical Eight Limbs: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi. Each week includes accessible movement, breath awareness, meditation, reflection, discussion, and practical ways to apply these teachings in daily life.
