Ashtanga Yoga Lecture
9:30 am - 12:30 pm
$90
A rich exploration of the eight limbs of Yoga (Aṣṭāṅga) as outlined in Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra.
If you’ve studied the eight limbs before, expect to be challenged by a fresh perspective—one that reveals this framework, reaching both before and beyond āsana, as a remarkably practical path for reducing suffering and cultivating clarity in daily life.
All levels are welcome.
