Yamas

In the world of duality, we tend to drop into the illusion of separation and develop habits of guarding, judging, deceiving and harming others. These fear-based habits left unchecked diminish individual joy and develop into collective patterns that impede human evolution. Many paths of indigenous wisdom offer disciplines to calm these common strands of fear and help us respond with loving intelligence. Gathering to learn these disciplines and encourage each other to commit to them is a powerful way to bring peace and joy to our lives and become shining examples of a new way of relating to our Selves and each other.

Review the eight limbs of yoga: Yama - 5 disciplines, Niyama - personal observances, Asana - Postures, Pranayama - Breath and Life-force, Pratyahara - withdraw from 5 senses, Darhana - flow state, Dyhana - pointed focus, Samadhi - Absorption.
Move deeply into Yamas: Ahimsa - non-harming, Satya - Impeccability with our word, Asteya - non-stealing, Bramhacharya - respectful intimacy, Aparigraha - non-grasping.
Understand how Yamas can be simple daily practices: How can ahimsa become the lens of kindness even when we need to set clear boundaries? How can we recognize self deceptive tendencies and get honest with ourselves? How can we see the lack-based mentality that leads to greed and stealing? How do we direct sexual desire in appropriate ways so it does not cause harm? How can we let go of assumptions and recognize that nothing is certain?
Talk Story: Share real life stories about the challenges of living with the yamas. Learn strategies that can help us apply these powerful practices to improve your power to deliberately direct your life.
Refreshments: Enjoy hibiscus tea, and healthy treats with the group; to ground the shared wisdom into our cells before stepping back into our individual lives.

Jennifer Lynn - ERYT 1000 and founder of Wisdom Flow Yoga School, Jennifer was raised by nature-loving parents. She learned early on that the wisdom and glory of the divine are alive in nature, and we would be wise to follow the wisdom of nature in all we do. After a battle with level 4 cancer at age 28, Jennifer radically changed her life priorities and started a path of karmic clearing and joyful growth. Her first yoga class brought a profound out-of-body experience that awakened her sleeping soul. She has been on a path to share the gift of self-realization through yoga ever since. Jennifer believes it is through the reverant exploration of our brilliant bodies that we discover our divine roots. Jennifer has taken over 2000 hours of trainings and workshops with masters like Richard Freeman, John Friend, and Desiree Rumbaugh. In the Wisdom Flow Yoga Teacher Trainings Jennifer teaches alignment principles based on the sacred geometry of the body and sees our practice as a means to align more deeply with body, planet, cosmos and Love.

Wisdom Flow Yoga was founded in 2007 by Jennifer Lynn. With an engineering background, Jennifer appreciated the inner engineering outlined in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The Wisdom Flow style blends precise physical and mental alignment with free and joyful flow of spirit through the asanas. Structure must align with the divine laws of nature in order to be strong and sustainable, yet too much dogma can pinch off the organic flow of joyful growth. Wisdom Flow Yoga embodies a balance of precise alignments and core-centered movement with a playful dynamic flow that keeps the pathways clean, clear and strong, and the song of the heart coming through. Our classes and trainings offer a set of elegant alignment principles based on the sacred geometry of the human body. We learn to balance these principles in all poses. We learn to ride the flow of breath as the vehicle of awareness to keep us revealing and sharing deeper layers of our true nature. Wisdom Flow Yoga embraces all expressions of love that rise from inclusion, compassion and unity.
