The musical project, led by Austin Richman, brings original, heartfelt & diverse music and in this session along Erika de la Cuadra and Rebecca Burdick Meyer, offers music to dance to and chant to.

Introduction to the Yamas & Niyamas: The Ethical Guidelines of Yoga by Michael Lloyd Billington

Guest author and fellow Colorado yogi and blogger, Michael Lloyd Billington, offers his work (from his own blog ironically titled the “Living Yoga Blog”) on the ethical guidelines of yoga: the yamas (how you treat others; external disciplines) and niyamas (personal duties or observances; inner disciplines). The Yamas and Niyamas are the first two of the eight limbs of yoga, they are the home base that you can endlessly return to to find your footing on the yogic path.
