In the West, many of us think of yoga solely as a movement practice. In reality, it’s an eightfold path which provides guidance on how to live a purposeful life. This path was written down by a sage named Patanjali, through a text called The Yoga Sutras. Although the world looks different from how it did 2,000 years ago, these practices can still offer us incredible support and guidance.

This 8 week series revolves around seated asana as we gently explore movement, breath, and meditation. There will be plenty of time to adapt asana (postures) to fit your body exactly as it is. Let this be an invitation to build intimacy with your body and your inner world. 

  • Week 1: Yama- Social/outward ethics  

  • Week 2: Niyama- Personal/inward ethics  

  • Week 3: Asana- Postures  

  • Week 4: Pranayama- Energy management, breath  

  • Week 5: Pratyahara- Withdrawal of the senses 

  • Week 6: Dharana- One pointed focus  

  • Week 7: Dhyana- Meditative absorption  

  • Week 8: Samadhi- Bliss, enlightenment

Learn how to integrate the aspects of yoga into your daily life. Explore specific practices to help us embody the different limbs of yoga. We’ll mediate, breathe, and reflect as a community.

This practice is well suited for those who use mobility devices or have limited range of motion. It’s also suited for those who generally practice on the mat, but want to try a new approach to yoga. There will be occasional options for standing asana that use your chair for stability and balance, but seated variations will always be offered. You may join live or practice via recordings in your own time.

Beginner friendly and trauma informed. Open to all, whether or not you are a trauma survivor.
