YamasConnect with the world from an authentic and ethical placeThe Yamas are primarily concerned with the world around us and our interaction with it.  By considering these aspects in our daily practice and life, all of our decisions and actions come from a more considered, aware and ‘higher’ place. This enables us to become more authentic towards ourselves and others.Day 1: An introduction to the YamasJennilee Toner • All levels • TalksDay 2: AhimsaSandra Carson • All levels • Pranayama, Anusara, Vinyasa FlowDay 3: SatyaDavid Lurey • Beginners • Vinyasa FlowDay 4: AsteyaEsther Teule • All levels • TalksDay 5: BrahmacharyaAnat Geiger • All levels • Yin YogaDay 6: AparigrahaEsther Ekhart • All levels • Talks2. NiyamasSeeking the truth withinThe Niyamas refer to duties directed towards ourselves – inner observances. They are intended to help us build character. When we work with the Niyamas – from Saucha (cleanliness) to Isvararpranidhana (surrender to a higher power) – we’re guided from the grossest aspects of ourselves to the truth deep within.Day 1: The NiyamasEsther Ekhart • All levels • TalksDay 2: SauchaDavid Lurey • Experienced – Intermediate • Vinyasa FlowDay 3: SantoshaEsther Teule • All levels • MeditationDay 4: TapasEsther Ekhart • All levels • Vinyasa FlowDay 5: SvadhyayaDavid Lurey • All levels • TalksDay 6: Isvara PranidhanaEsther Ekhart • Experienced – Intermediate • Vinyasa Flow, Slow Flow3. Asanasthira sukham asanamAsana is the only limb to refer to the physical aspect of yoga. It means ‘seat’ – the seat you would take for the practice of meditation. The only alignment instruction Patanjali gives for this Asana is “sthira sukham asanam”, the posture should be steady and comfortable.Day 1: AsanaIrina Verwer • All levels • TalksDay 2: A Sthira and Sukha Vinyasa FlowAdela Serrano • Experienced – Intermediate • Vinyasa FlowDay 3 : A comfortable seatFrancesca Giusti • Beginners • Pranayama, Meditation, HathaDay 4: Yoga to balance and relax the bodyJames Reeves • All levels • HathaDay 5: A continuous flowEsther Ekhart • Experienced – Intermediate • Vinyasa Flow4. PranayamaPrana – means ‘energy’ or ‘life force’ ​Prana – means ‘energy’ or ‘life force’ and often describes the breath in the sense that it’s the very essence that keeps us alive.

PratyaharaSense withdrawal… the bridge between external and internal yogaPratya means to ‘withdraw’ and the second part ahara refers to anything we ‘take in’ by ourselves, such as the various sights, sounds and smells our senses take in continuously.Day 1: PratyaharaAnat Geiger • All levels • TalksDay 2 : Go deeperEsther Ekhart • Beginners • Pranayama, Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yang YogaDay 3: Deep meditationEsther Teule • All levels • MeditationDay 4: Observing the thinking mindEsther Ekhart • All levels • Yin YogaDay 5: Inner sanctuaryJames Reeves • All levels • Yoga Nidra6. DharanaFocused concentrationDharana and Pratyahara are essentially part of the same aspect. In order to focus on something, the senses must withdraw so that all attention is placed on that point of concentration, and in order to draw our senses in, we must focus and concentrate intently.Day 1: DharanaMarlene Smits • All levels • TalksDay 2: The point of focusAdela Serrano • All levels • Vinyasa Flow, HathaDay 3: GazingAndrew Wrenn • All levels • Meditation, TherapeuticDay 4: Balance and breatheJennilee Toner • All levels • Vinyasa Flow, HathaDay 5: Inner and outer focusEsther Teule • All levels • Meditation7.

SamadhiBliss!Many of us know the word Samadhi as meaning ‘bliss’ or ‘enlightenment’. Breaking the word in half, we see that this final stage is made up of two words; ‘sama’ meaning ‘same’ or ‘equal’, and ‘dhi’ meaning ‘to see’. The ability to ‘see equally’ and without disturbance from the mind, without our experience being conditioned by likes, dislikes or habits, without a need to judge or become attached to any particular aspect; that is bliss.Day 1 : What is Samadhi?Esther Ekhart • All levels • TalksDay 2 : “Goal-less”James Reeves • All levels • HathaDay 3: Points of stillnessEsther Ekhart • All levels • HathaDay 4: Dropping into presenceJeff Foster • All levels • Meditation, TalksDay 5: Sense of ‘I’Adela Serrano • All levels • Vinyasa Flow, HathaGet The Eight Limbs of Yoga – Ekhart Yoga , Only Price $35Tag: The Eight Limbs of Yoga – Ekhart Yoga  Review.
