In this workshop we will go over the ancient yogic model of the Koshas which are the sheaths or layers of our being. We will begin with a lecture in a discussion format and learn about what these layers of the Koshas are. Each layer offers tools for our yoga toolkit of present moment awareness and self agency. The second half of the workshop we will have an accessible yoga (asana) practice to feel and experience the Koshas, and how they can help with compassionate curiosity, self study, awareness and mindfulness.
