8 Limbs of Yoga for the Modern Yogi: From Asana to Zen w Roger and Albina Rippy

8 Limbs of Yoga for the Modern Yogi: From Asana to Zen

Many yogis and non-yogis know about asana, and asana is perhaps the most visible and accessible limb of ashtanga (or raja) yoga. Many yoga teachers teach asana almost exclusively. This is not bad or wrong. 

And, asana is only one limb of eight. There is a depth and a richness in our yogic tradition that could take lifetimes to discover and unravel. What relevance do Patanjali's 8 Limbs of Yoga as outlined in the sutras have to us as modern day yogis with busy schedules, to do lists, jobs to maintain and families to support in THIS lifetime? And how can we begin to experience some of the gifts of this yogic path and practice beyond asana?
In this full monty workshop, we will touch upon each of the 8 limbs, including a dynamic discussion of the yamas and niyamas as a guideline for modern living and a way to see our world. We will discuss  and practice using the 8 Limbs of Yoga as a vehicle for living a happy and abundant life.    
This class contains: discussion, some asana, meditation, inquiry and chanting. It will be fun and funny and challenging, just like life. 
This class will be co-lead by YogaOne Studios' lead teacher trainers and mentor teachers: Albina and Roger Rippy, Lee Zacharias and Davina Davidson. It will be assisted by YogaOne's teachers.  YogaOne is Houston's largest yoga studio community and was founded in 2008. For more information go to: www.yogaonehouston.com
