Some therapeutic applications of the Yoga Sutras will be explored.

Yin Yoga & Ayurveda Yoga: Postures will be explored relative to the five directions of pranic movement and how that impacts the three doshas. Consideration is given to the effect a pose has on the three doshas as well as the structural and subtle energies of the body based on Yin Yoga.
