Beyond Asana: Opening the Heart, Mind, and Body
by Jayshree Chander
[Visit Website!]
Dear Friends,
A warm thank you to the “three musketeers” (you know who you are) for inviting me to restart the Beyond Asana course online when we all retreated into our homes in mid-March this year. My heart and thoughts continue to be enriched by our connection, practice, meditations, and discussions. The conventional and traditional definitions of the yamas and niyamas are getting updated based on our recent discussions. We are transforming the world, one breath and one thought at a time.
For ease and continuity of practice, we are focusing our attention on the first four limbs of yoga practice in 2 separate sessions. Asana (mastery of physical body/poses) and Pranayama (mastery of breath) practice is happening three days of the week. Our in depth explorations of the Yamas (mastery of social conduct), Niyamas (mastery of personal conduct), and the qualities of enlightenment take place once a week. See below for scheduling details.
