Sunday | April 21 | 11am-2pm
The word “Ayurveda” is derived from Sanskrit and means “science of life.” In Ayurveda, there’s an underlying belief that everything in life is connected. Because of this, general health and wellness rely on achieving balance and harmony. When a person is imbalanced or stressed, they are likely to develop disease. Ayurveda focuses on implementing lifestyle interventions and natural treatments, therapies, and remedies to provide balance among your physical body, mind, spirit and the world around you. In this workshop, we'll explore different constitutions, diet (tastes), sleep cycles, routines, an purification practices that help create a life that is harmonious with the world around us.

Most of us are familiar with yoga as a physical practice of movement, breath, and specific poses. However, yoga is more traditionally known as a eightfold or 8-limbed path, made up of 7 other foundational aspects other than just the physical practice.
The first of these two limbs are the Yamas and the Niyamas. These limbs are yoga's ethical guidelines that are laid out to help practitioners to live a more skillful and authentic life. The Yamas are principles that outline how we should ethically interact with the world, and the Niyamas describe how we should care for ourselves.
These principles are meant to empower us to open up to the journey of joy and love. When we commit to our practice not just as pretty postures in class, but also in real-time, ethical practices in every moment, we will find true happiness, a clear conscious, and the ability to manifest what we need when we need it.
Class will begin with an explanation and interpretation of the weekly Yama or Niyama, followed by a short guided meditation. After that we will work into a Vinyasa/Yin practice, designed to reflect lessons aligned with the topic of discussion. We'll end with some longer-held Yin poses and a nice, long savasana.
You can use your punch card to sign up for all classes of the series or drop in to class at any time. Below you will find the scheduled list of topics for this class. You can sign up for class through our free Fairbanks Yoga app or by clicking the title of the class below.
