Free Download! Living Your Yoga: The Age-Old Wisdom of the Yamas and Niyamas

TEACHER ED

The practices of yoga are meant to touch the whole fabric of our lives, not just our physical health.

In this free download, renowned yoga teacher Judith Hanson Lasater talks about the yogic wisdom contained in the Yamas and Niyamas and shows how they have profound practical relevance for life and living even thousands of years later.

The Yamas and the Niyamas are the first two facets of  the Eight-Limbed Path of Yoga described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra. They are thought to be some of the most practical Sutras as they assist us in living our lives in a life-supporting way, honoring the highest principles of life at each moment.

Often, the Yamas and Niyamas are referred to as the “Do’s and Don’ts of Yoga” or sometimes the “Ten Commandments of Yoga”.

However, this is taking highly refined principles for living and reducing them to a finger-shaking image: “ If you do not do this or that, you will be punished.”

When observed on a subtler level, the Yamas and Niyamas seem to be more of a tribute to Being, affirming our already Divine nature.

Judith discusses the relevance of the Yamas and Niyamas for Living Our Yoga and how these age-old precepts offer profound wisdom of relevance to modern day life, which can offer a guiding light on everything we do.

The practice of yoga is fundamentally an act of kindness toward oneself. This idea is often forgotten, but not by Judith, whose approach is warm, non-judgmental and responsive to individual differences and needs.

You are doing a great service! I live in Mexico and your on-line events have been a terrific way for me to stay in touch with yoga colleagues and continue learning from teachers of the highest caliber.

I wanted to expand on my thank you. Yoga U Online has been an absolute lifesaver for me. I moved from a yoga mecca to a yoga desert. Instead of having my choice of teachers and styles and special workshops, I now have to travel an hour to take a class. The excellent teachers and interesting topics at Yoga U Online have kept me moving ahead in my practice. I am grateful for all the wonderful yoga you bring to me. Thank you.
