Welcome to the 8 Limbs of Yoga and {Y}integration! These practices dive deeper into the basic tenets and philosophical underpinnings of yoga as a journey or pathway to enlightenment.

Are we harming ourselves with our way of life, our words, our choices? Are we harming others by words, actions, choices? How do we integrate this into our daily lives and the choices we make - join me!
