"Life without tapas is like a heart without love" ~ BKS Iyengar

DESCRIPTION:

In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, a root text of classical yoga, he lists tapas as one of the niyamas, or personal observances. The wod tapas comes from ‘tap’ in Sanskrit which means to blaze or burn.  It is a burning, self-disciplined effort to purify the body and mind. Through intense effort, we can let go of obstacles and make way for compassion and forgiveness. Each session of this  this special weekend workshop with Iyengar Yoga teacher Lori Ritland will incorporate aspects of tapas, and students will come away inspired and energized.
