This 10-class series explores the intersection of restorative movement, meditation, and spiritual topics common to both yoga and recovery programs.
We will begin each class with a spiritual topic of discussion on our mats, followed by a reflection period in meditation. We will then end with a 30-40 minute long restorative flow. Props will be available as needed for comfort.
The spiritual topics considered each week include the 5 Yamas and the 5 Niyamas of yoga:
Yamas - (Weeks 1-5):
Week 1: Ahimsa (Non-violence)
Week 2: Satya (Truthfulness)
Week 3: Brahmacharya (Fidelity)
Week 4: Aparigraha (Non-possessiveness)
Week 5: Asteya (Non-stealing)
Niyamas - (Weeks 6-10):
