Come and join us for a series of Friday evening talks on Astanga Yoga - the 8 fold path of yoga as described by Patanjali. This is at the core of the teaching and practice of Iyengar Yoga.
 
Over the year we have planned 7 talks where we will look at each of these limbs and their relevance to ourselves as yoga practitioners.
$10 per session
After the talk we will chant, accompanied by the harmonium and the mrdungam (Indian drum) for approx. 20 minutes, followed by a cup of tea before going home.
