These classes begin with grounding ourselves in our bodies, bringing our awareness to our breath, and from this centered state flowing into Sun Salutations, progressive standing postures and balances, and other poses to build strength and vitality.  Then the sequences will slow, moving into deeper stretches in seated and reclined poses, before settling to rest in Savasana.  Lisa leads this practice focused through a lens on the Yamas and Niyamas–the ethical guidelines from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, such as Ahimsa (non-harming), Santosha (contentment), Aparigraha (letting go), Tapas (discipline), and Svadhyaya (self-study). Traditionally yoga students studied the Yamas and Niyamas, the first two limbs of the eightfold path of yoga, before practicing the next two limbs, Asana (postures), and Pranayama (mindful breathing).  Now more commonly students learn the Yamas and Niyamas only after starting with postures and breath, so in this class Lisa aims to introduce the foundational philosophy and inspire students to extend their yoga practice beyond the shala and the mat.  Students are encouraged always to explore variations, rest when needed, and make the practice their own. Please bring a mat and water. Mats are available to rent for ₡1,000 or purchase for ₡10,000, and blocks and props are free to use.
