SUMMARY:Yogi Book Club: The Yamas & Niyamas by Deborah Adele
DESCRIPTION:Free Community Event!\n\n\nWill meet TWICE on this book! June 16th and June 30th. \nGrab your book and save the dates! Community Members are welcome to join even if they are unable to finish the book\, as there is much value to be gained from discussion.  \nPlease sign up in advance so we know to expect you! \n*ACY does not provide copies of the book. Please consider checking out from your local library\, or buying used. The audiobook is available as well. \nFrom GoodReads.com: \nThe first two limbs of the eight-fold path of yoga sutras—the basic text for classical yoga—are examined in this spiritual guide to the practice of yoga. Foundational to all yogic thought\, they are considered to be the guidelines to the yoga way of living that free individuals to take ownership of their lives\, direct them toward the fulfillment they seek\, and gain the skills to choose attitude\, thought\, and action. \n The first five guidelines are referred to as the yamas—a Sanskrit word that translates to “restraints”—and encompass nonviolence\, truthfulness\, not stealing\, nonexcess\, and nonpossessiveness. The last five are referred to as the niyamas\, or observances—purity\, contentment\, self-discipline\, self-study\, and surrender. A self-study section at the end of each chapter may also be used by instructors for group discussion. \n \nFor more information on the book club facilitator Stephen\, please see his teacher profile here!  He teaches donation-based Hot Vinyasa Flow on Fridays 6:15-7:30pm\, Yin & Restorative on Saturdays 1:30-2:30pm\, Vinyasa Flow on Sundays 1:45-2:45pm.  \nPlease create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration\, please email Kelsey at  kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org \n  \nLate Policy: Doors will close at the workshop start time. We encourage you to arrive at least 15 minutes before the workshop start time to ensure there is ample time to park\, check in and settle in to your space.
