The yoga śāstra offers us a compass, map and user’s guide for the human experience. It also offers us thousands of wonderful yoga techniques.
However, from a certain perspective, the amazing benefits of these techniques are only accessed when the practice is rooted in the foundation principles of the yama-s. The first of the aṣṭāṅga/eight limbs, the yama-s are described by Patañjali in the yoga sūtra as the essential, all times, all places practice.
This session will elucidate why the yama principles are considered the essential practice, how they facilitate and support all other practice methods, and how they provide robust, reliable references to cultivate yogic steadiness amidst the inevitable ups and downs, comings and goings of life.
