The great masters believed that until aspirants had applied the yamas and niyamas—knowns as limbs one and two—to their lives, they weren't ready to handle asana and pranayama—known as limbs three and four. Aadil will present the yamas and niyamas from a new and deeper perspective so that the following practice of asana and pranayama is more meaningful. Bring a mat, strap, block , and blanket. Lecture and asana.
