In this series, we will explore a different focus over eight classes, themed around the eight limbs of yoga. The 75-minute practice will consist of a short philosophy sharing, a vinyasa practice, and meditation. This series has been designed to invigorate the body and calm the mind, with the intention of exploring how yoga continues to guide us off our mats.
1) Yamas - The first limb of Yoga is Yamas, or social observances. We explore the five yamas - Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (moderation of the senses), Aparigraha (non-attachment) throughout practice and allow it to guide our meditation.
2) Niyamas - The second limb of Yoga is Niyamas, or self-observances. We explore the five niyamas – Saucha (cleanliness), Santosha (contentment), Tapas (self-discipline), Svadhyaya (self-reflection), and Ishvarapranidhana (surrender to a higher power) throughout practice and allow it to guide our meditation.
3) Asana - The third limb of Yoga, Asana, may appear to be one that we are most familiar with. After all, it refers to the physical practice of yoga. In our practice, we explore stability, stillness, and integrity as we move mindfully through each posture, rhythmically with our breath.
4) Pranayama - The fourth limb of Yoga, Pranayama, consists of the Sanskrit words Prana (life force) and Ayama (to lengthen or constrain). We will explore various breathing techniques during vinyasa and meditation in this practice.
5) Pratyahara - The fifth limb of Yoga, Pratyahara, refers to a withdrawal of the senses. In this practice, we will explore practising with the eyes closed, and Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) will be introduced before we close with meditation.
6) Dharana - The sixth limb of Yoga, Dharana, is concentration meditation. We will use visualisations, mantras and the breath as a point of focus and tool to guide our practice. As we approach the last three sessions in this series, you will have the option to extend your meditation practice.
7) Dhyana - The seventh limb of Yoga, Dhyana, is sometimes referred to as effortless meditation. We may continue to use tools to guide us into the beginning of our meditation practice, but eventually, we aim to let go of these tools to arrive at a state of meditation with ease.
8) Samadhi - The final practice in the 8-week series aligns with the eighth limb of Yoga - Samadhi. Samadhi can refer to bliss, surrender, or a contemplation of the divine undisturbed by anger, desire, and ego. We will seek to embody this philosophy and emerge from our 8-week practice with both clarity and grounding.
