THE YAMAS AND NIYAMAS IN AYURVEDA AND YOGA SHAKTI

September 22-29, 2023

The Yamas and Niyamas form the foundation for the practice of Raja Yoga as the first two of the eight limbs of Yoga as taught in Yoga Sutras. Yet they have many levels of application that are seldom understood, on which we will provide a new perspective.

We will explore the Yamas and Niyamas according to Yoga, Ayurvedic Healing and Yoga Shakti along with their practical relevance for physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

 

The Yamas and Niyamas are the principles of sattvic and yogic living, necessary to make your Yoga practice effective. They provide the basis for emotional healing and for developing our higher faculties, forming the foundation for Yoga and Ayurveda Psychology for calming and concentrating the mind. We will examine their importance today in our current societal state of unrest, psychological disturbances and addictions, indicating their therapeutic value.

Emphasis will be given to the three Niyamas as Tapas, Svadhyaya and Ishvara Pranidhana as the foundation practices for Kriya Yoga. We will also explore how each of the Yamas and Niyamas relate to the other six limbs of Yoga, helping you improve your Yoga practice and teaching on all levels.
