Yin Yoga Exploration of the Yamas | 5-Week Series (WK1)

Join us for this Yin Yoga Exploration of the Yamas with AnnMarie Wolf. This gentle stretch series is designed to help you embrace the basics of yoga philosophy.

This morning Yin yoga class gives us the chance to exercise some deep listening. When we make the space to listen in the morning, we can hear all the places in our physical body gently wake as we move into long-releasing Yin shape after long-releasing Yin shape. Taking time for Yin early in the day, when our muscles are cold, allows us to access the deeper fascia. It prepares us to listen a little more deeply and be a little kinder to ourselves. That kindness gives us the grace to move slowly, to not be tethered to devices, and to create silence and stillness.

A morning Yin yoga sequence awakens that innate connection between your body, your breath, and your mind. Each week we will explore one of the five specific ethical precepts of the Yoga Sutras, as written by Patanjali. The Yoga Sutra elucidates the basic teachings of yoga in short verses called sutras. In the second chapter of The Yoga Sutra, Patanjali presents the ashtanga, or eight-limbed system, for which he is so famous. While Westerners may be most familiar with the asana (posture), the third limb, the yamas are really the first step in a yoga practice that addresses the whole fabric of our lives, not just physical health or solitary spiritual existence. The Yoga Sutra is presented to help us avoid causing harm to others and also avoid personal suffering.
