Study Circle: 8 Limbs of Yoga (Virtual)

  • Yogamour Yoga and Healing Arts Center 1 Worman's Mill Ct, Suite 11 Frederick, MD, 21701 United States (map)

What does yoga offer beyond the poses? This virtual 3-week series invites you to explore the 8 Limbs of Yoga together in a supportive learning space. Join this year’s Yoga Teacher Training cohort for three Tuesday night philosophy sessions as we study the eight-limbed path described in the Yoga Sutras: yama (relationships with others), niyama (personal practices), asana (posture), pranayama (breath practice), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (integration or absorption). Tuesdays, 6:30 to 8:30pm | April 14 + 28 and May 12

No prior philosophy study required, however readings and video viewings are assigned via email between sessions. Miss a Tuesday? No worries, recordings are provided to registrants. Each session will offer explanations, reflection, and discussion about how these teachings show up both on and off the mat. Whether you are a yoga teacher, a dedicated student, or simply curious about yoga philosophy, this series offers an accessible way to deepen your understanding of the 8 Limbs of Yoga. Grab a cup of tea and channel your inner nerd as we explore how ancient teachings relate to modern life.

PS - Shout out to local yoga educator Tara Lemerise, who inspired this format with her own fierce dedication to continuing yogic studies.
