Living the Yama & Niyama: Day Retreat with Laura Ahrens & Allegra Chabay

In this modern moment, alignment with our inner ethics is emphasized. The Yama & Niyama act as guidelines for clear and ethical living both in the world, and in our Selves.

This retreat is a primer on the first limb of yoga, yama and niyama, the restraints and observances that make off-the-mat yogic living possible. There are five yama, and five niyama, and while each could be the subject of its own workshop (stay tuned), this is an in-depth overview and introduction to the ecosystem of yama and niyama in their relation to each other, to the practice of yoga, and a yogic life in the world. They're often thought of as ethical precepts, and this retreat explores how they can be implemented in our lives like banks on a river so we can flow forward in the direction of practice and towards who we are becoming because of it.
