300 Hour Yoga Sutras Workshop September 8-10

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is a 195-verse study that is filled with the knowledge of yoga. The sutras are arguably the most valuable yogic text with specific practices in ending the root cause of suffering, the absence of self-knowledge (avidya). In this weekend, we will unravel the goal of yoga, the various states of consciousness, tools on how to exist in the world, the eight limbs of yoga, the different levels of samadhi, and the benefits that arise from this practice.

300 Hour Ayurveda and Yoga | November 10-12

Ayurveda (life)(study) and Yoga (union) are sister sciences birthed at the same time as complementary Vedic practices with a similar goal of finding inner stillness and ultimately Self-realization. Both practices emphasize creating a Sattvic environment for the body, mind, and emotions, as a way to deepen our connection with the divine within. If you have been practicing yoga asana for many years but still feel like you need a boost to advance further on the path, the principles of Ayurveda can unlock knowledge to greater balance + ease.

In this weekend, experience how Ayurveda can elevate your yoga practice and provide you with more tools for vitality, longevity + equanimity.

Lessons include but are not limited to:

  • the 5 elements + their relationship to our wellbeing
  • daily routines (Dinacharya) for optimal health
  • yoga practices in relation to dosha
  • diet + loving practices around food
  • practices for the seasons of the year + the seasons of our life
  • the different forms of Ama and its effects on the tissues (dhatus)
  • Ayurvedic + yogic cleansing practices
