FOR YOGIS:
Diving further into the Yamas and Niyamas
The first and second limbs of yoga are the Yamas and the Niyamas. The Yamas are “moral codes” to live by, and the Niyamas are techniques for self-purification. Session Length: 1.5-2 hours
The History of the Chakras
The Chakras are one of the most popular yoga teachings in the west. However, most people don't know that the Chakra system studied in the west is actually quite a young system developed by non-Indian practitioners in roughly the last 100 years. Session length: 2.5-3 hours.

FOR VETERINARIANS:
How Yoga Philosophy can help you be a better veterinarian and gain more peace in your life As veterinarians, we are trained to be analytical. This skill is necessary when examining a patient and assessing their radiographs and lab work or analyzing farm data. However, the traits necessary for being a good diagnostician sometimes don't transfer over to personal relationships in a successful way. Veterinarians sometimes succumb to frustration and negative ruminations when they are trying their hardest at work and life. The purpose of yoga is to decrease fluctuations of the mind. This session introduces participants to the 8 Fold Path of Yoga and may ultimately start you on the path to healing.
Session Length: Minimum of 1.5 hours, but can go up to 4 hours.
