Namaste Noble Warriors!
Mark your calendars today for this weekend:
August 10
L.A. Workshop Series: The Yamas and the Niyamas
with Steve Ilg, RYT
Powerhouse Gym
10:30 a.m. -12:00 p.m.
A discussion of Patanjali's first (Yama) and second (Niyama) "limbs" of Classical Yoga. The five Yamas ("restraints") coupled with the five Niyamas ("observances") can be thought of as "The 10 Commitments" of Yoga practice.
These ethical and moral guidelines are non religious and only intend to modify our behavior so that all imperfections are transformed into virtues. Yama and Niyama, when combined with Asana (postures) and Pranayama (breath control) constitute "Hatha Yoga." Includes handouts.
All workshops in the L.A. Workshop Series cost only $10 and will take place in the "grotto" at Powerhouse Gym, 20914 Nordhoff Chatsworth, CA, 91311, (818) 775-0300. Workshops limited to 20 students. No reservations accepted; arrive early. Please bring a sitting cushion.
