Instructor: Christa Worrell (D.V.M., RYT 200 with Yin Certification)
Deepen your yoga practice in this mini-workshop dedicated to Santosha (the tenet of Contentment)—the 2nd Niyama. Using our Gentle Yoga Class, we’ll explore contentment at play in our postures and ways to carry that joy and acceptance off the mat.
The Yamas & Niyamas are the first 2 limbs in the 8 limbs of yoga. The Celestial Class Series will address each of these 10 ethical guidelines during the new moons of 2025.
Class limited to 15 participants.
