The Yoga of Thriving

Begins Thursday, August 26, 6-7:30 pm at One Center Yogaga

“Thriving begins when you have a deep sense of the meaning and purpose of life and the means for actualizing it in the spirit of service.”

In this 6 week series we will use pariprashna (the yogic practice of asking yourself the right questions) to look at how you can better actualize your potential and journey towards thriving. We will be utilizing pariprashna in the context of yogic “Secrets of Success.” We will use journaling at the beginning of each class (and between classes) and then explore asanas which will help you embody service-oriented self-actualization. This series will help you:

  • Use yoga philosophy to get clearer about the meaning of your life
  • Use yogic principles to get clearer about the purpose of your life
  • Improve your relationships by deepening your understanding of the interconnectedness of all things
