This workshop will draw some important parallels between modern scientific insights and ancient wisdom. Dive into the 8 limbs of yoga where we will discover the effects of spiritual practice on the brain and body.

This workshop will be a fun and lighthearted approach to the yoga philosophy as a pathway to self-discovery and transformation. We will explore in depth the 8 limbs of yoga, and how these simple steps can lead you toward more freedom and ease in your day-to-day life.
