September is YOGA MONTH! In celebration of that, Jennifer French, owner of my beloved home studio,
has asked the teachers to invite students to Travel the World of Yoga.
For my online-only (and FREE!!!) Monday Morning Meditation class, I've chosen to use each of the five Mondays in September to explore the five Yamas, which are yoga's guidelines for how we live our lives in our relationships, with society, and with all of nature.
Though Yama, which is a Sanskrit word, may sound a bit strange to you at first, the principles themselves will feel quite familiar!
They are:
- Non-violence and non-harming (Ahimsa)
- Honesty and truthfulness (Satya)
- Non-stealing (Asteya)
- Moderation (Bramacharya)
- Non-attachment and generosity (Aparigrapa)
Each week of September, in our Monday Morning Meditation class, we will meditate on the meaning of a Yama in our own lives, beginning with the most important and over-riding principle, that of non-harming to ourselves and others.
The Monday Morning Meditation class is ONLINE ONLY, FREE and just a half hour long! It runs from 7:30 to 8:00am ET. You can come to class in your pajamas (I often do!), with bed head hair, or still in bed! You can even turn your camera off if you like :)
