Yoga, Āyurveda, and Relationships
“The success of Yoga does not lie in the ability to perform postures but in how it positively changes the way we live our life and our relationships.” T.K.V. Desikachar
The above Desikachar quote is a favorite of so many. And for good reason.
By giving us a way to gauge the effects our practice is having, Desikachar takes Yoga from the intangible to the tangible. And he takes our attention off of what is happening within us and asks us to notice how we are engaging with the world around us.
In Yoga, Āyurveda, and Relationships Chase Bossart and Elizabeth Cunningham Bossart will discuss the power of personal practices and their effect on not only our closest relationships but to the relationships that extend beyond our immediate circles. They will also shine light on how our personal practices are in their own relationship with those around us and shed light on how to successfully maintain personal work and commitment while also honoring your commitments to others.
How we exist in this world is reflected back to us by those around us, the ways in which we take care of and work on ourselves are the mirror.
This workshop is intended to help anyone struggling with maintaining personal practices or lifestyle choices while still navigating the realities of a Householder. Chase and Elizabeth will also share insights from over 17 years of sharing a life together while also diving deeply into their practices and professional fields.
All enrolled participants in this workshop are welcome to participate with a person they are in relationship with so both can benefit! Watch in the company of your chosen guest or reach out to [email protected] and we will help your guest access the live workshop.
