Winter Series One
Monday and Wednesday's 6-7:30
Each class will be 30 minutes of lecture and 60 minutes of yoga postures.
This class is shaping up to be an Ayurvedic Inquiry into the Yoga Sutra's. Although I am not a academic with a deep understanding of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra's I have found that the understanding of certain sutra's can be enhanced through an Ayurvedic understanding. Please join me as we unpack the yoga sutra's according to Ayurvedic concepts.
