Yoga and the Mind:
Niyama - Personal Practices
with Paul Cabanis
Saturday, March 12, 2-4:30pm (PST)
In-studio & Livestream
Niyama forms one of the 8 limbs of Yoga. It is divided into 5 principles:
Sauca - Purity of body, heart-mind and surrounding
Santosa - Contentment
Tapas - Practice causing positive change
Svadhyaya - Study by and of oneself
Isvara-pranidhana- Humility and faith
The word ‘niyama’ can be translated as ‘personal self-care’. To live according to yoga, it is our responsibility as individuals to spend time and effort maintaining our body, breath, heart and mind. A healthy body, with healthy breath, heart and mind is fit for accessing our inner light of awareness.
We will be exploring these tendencies of the mind through the lens Asana and Pranayama.
