May Practice

Brahmacarya - moderation

Our practice this month will focus on the fourth yama, Brahmacarya, moderation. As we practice Brahmacarya, we have the opportunity to experience the balance that is yoga. The Yoga Sutras tell us that valor, vigor, knowledge, and energy flow to those who practice Brahmacarya. Our body work will focus on warming and grounding with attention to upper body strength and neutrality of the spine and neck.
