A Yoga Intensive with Sarahjoy Marsh
Jan 9 & 10

The system of yoga, the Eight Limbs,
begins with the Yamas and Niyamas, the
“codes of conduct” or “ethical precepts”
that guide the heart and mind to live Yoga.
The most commonly known list of Yamas
and Niyamas includes five yamas, (nonviolence,
truthfulness, non-stealing...) and
five niyamas (cleanliness, contentment,
discipline...). Shankaranarayana, Sanksrit
scholar and Yoga Acharya of Mysore, India,
teaches 10 Yamas and 12 Niyamas. Our
discussions will explore these original/
extended lists, which include mercy, faith,
steadfastness, focus, etc., in the context of
integrating the "system" of yoga with the
realization of the immediate innateness of
Love.
This weekend includes practices in asana,
pranayama, chanting and meditation
and discussion of the philosophy of yoga
applied to day-to-day life. We will explore
how the Yamas and Niyamas guide our
yoga on and off the mat as an invitation
for creating a practice that serves
both our own highest unfolding and the
community in which our yoga off the mat
has the greatest impact. This weekend
will be a renewal for your body and a reinspiration
for your mind and heart.
