INTRO INTO THE NIYAMAS
The Niyamas are the second limb of the 'Eight Limbs of Yoga' from the ancient Indian sage Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The Niyamas refers to duties directed towards ourselves - inner observances.

SAUCHA
Saucha translates to mean, ‘cleanliness’, but cultivating Saucha guides us to recognize life-style habits that no longer serve us. The practice asks us to release ‘impurities’ of the mind or negativity habits that may be limiting our full potential.

Santosha translates to mean ‘contentment.’ Practicing this Niyama guides us into a state of consciousness of quiet joy so we can easily accept who we have been in the past, and also appreciate who we are right now along with what we have.

SESSION FOUR
TAPAS
Tapas translates to mean ‘discipline’ or ‘burning soul passion. This Niyama helps you to cultivate a sense of self discipline, that is aligned with the passion of your Soul Song and gives you courage to boot. It is our inner wisdom that is often ignored and it’s the fiery inner "fuel" passion that will feeds your sense of purpose!

SESSION FIVE
SVADHYAYA
Svadhyaya literally means ‘one’s own wisdom’ or ‘self study’. Practicing self reflection, makes us more aware of why we do the things that we do, and why we respond emotionally with lack of awareness. Svadhyaya encourages us to always engage in learning, especially with whatever inspires and fascinates us, deepen our own knowledge and inner wisdom.

SESSION SIX
ISVARA PRANIDHANA
Isvara Pranidhana is best translated to mean, ‘surrendering to God,’ or 'surrendering to a higher power’ or simply letting go of our expectations. Cultivating Isvara Pranidhana in your life will ease the "stories of the mind" that cause you to worry, or have doubt, or stressful thoughts about lack or limitation. This Niyama offers you the opportunity to feel empowered in daily life.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS COURSE

Expect to experience a deeper and more personal relationship with yourself!
Practicing the NIYAMAS is a very personal experience, and will expand your consciousness. You will get to know your mind, intentions, and sense of purpose without the limitation of EGO. An inner freedom will occur, and with that... a renewal of mind, body and spirit. Additionally, if you are practicing yoga asanas on a regular basis, this course will have a great impact on your "inner" world during your sessions on the mat.
