The five Niyamas are personal observances that relate to our inner world, our relationship with ourselves: 1) Saucha – clarity; 2) Santosha – contentment; 3) Tapas – discipline; 4) Svadhyaya – self-study; and 5) Isvarapranidhana – surrender of the ego to a higher power.

These are paired with the five Yamas, which guide our our interactions with other people and the world at large: 1) Ahimsa – nonviolence; 2) Satya – truthfulness; 3) Asteya – non-stealing; 4) Brahmacharya – fidelity; and 5) Aparigraha – non-grasping.

These philosophical principles of Yoga were developed thousands of years ago and yet are more relevant today than ever. They help you be your best self and let your light shine.

The chakras are amazingly powerful tools for growth, exploration, and evolution.

They help us be our best selves in the world and can be greatly supportive in navigating the intensity of our current times. Simply put, they’re centers of electricity & energy in the body that correspond to the elements, seasons, emotions, stages of human development, and our relationships to ourselves and others.

Each chakra is associated with endocrine glands, organs, and nerve plexuses, which explains their profound effect on us and how knowledge of them can enhance our sense of balance & wellbeing. If you’ve never explored the chakras before – just want a refresher, join us for this introductory class to bring the wisdom of the chakra system into your everyday life

// Cost: $108

// we will do some yoga, bring a pen & journal

Leigh-Ann Renz has been studying the chakras for over fifteen years and loves how this ancient, “woo woo” knowledge perfectly coincides with modern, data-driven science. She especially enjoys taking yoga off the mat and into the world and greatly appreciates how the chakras allow us to weave together the seen & unseen, ancient & modern, physical & non-physical.
