An exploration of yoga and ancient ethics on and off the mat with Nikki McMaster-Mortarano

A gentle, grounding yoga experience exploring the yamas- the ethical roots of yoga, through breath, reflection, and intentional movement. Instead of only learning about the yamas, we will practice them in the body: softening harm, meeting truth, moving from enoughness, honoring our energy, and loosening the grip of striving. No performance. No perfection. Just presence.
