Yoga Classes with Mary Corbin
"Happiness is not something ready made.
It comes from your own actions."
~ Lhamo Thondup, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet
I am not teaching public classes at this time but am available
for private lessons for individuals or groups. Below is a sample of previous
classes and workshops taught in the Bay Area from 2001 - 2015. Thank you
for your dedication and see you on the mat!
FOCUS of the Year: The Brahmaviharas
Unconditional love becomes possible when you practice cultivating the four states of mind known as the Brahmaviharas. Collectively, these four qualities of friendliness or loving kindness (metta), compassion (karuna), joy (mudita), and equanimity (upekkha) are the qualities of true, authentic, and unconditional love.
YOGA FOCUS of the Month, JANUARY
Philosophy: The first Yama, AHIMSA (Non-harming)
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power,
the world will know peace." ~ Jimi Hendrix
