COURSE
Understanding The 8 Limbs Of Yoga
With Heidi Aemisegger
This is a 12-day course on the 8 Limbs of Yoga according to Patanjali. Whether you are already familiar with yoga philosophy or a newbie, this course will give you a new and in-depth understanding of what it really means and what impact it can have on your life. I offer you simple and practical examples that you can integrate into your daily life and are easy to practice. We will also chant the Yoga Sutras word for word as traditionally done and talk about the meaning of each word. It is certainly helpful to have your own book on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Allow the eightfold path to start a great transformative process in your life. You will then see yourself and the world around you with new eyes. Go deep inside and allow the transformation to unfold within you.

A wonderful course! I understand the philosophy of yoga and the different practices much better now. Thank you so much Heidi for your clarity, your caring and your love! Being on this path with you and actually being able to come to your yoga classes physically and experience your wisdom and kindness first hand is a great joy. Thanks for everything!

What a fabulous course! The explanations, Sanskrit pronounciation, and pace were ideal. Heidi’s warmth comes right through in this course and I almost feel like she was sitting in the room with me. I will be repeating this course again soon so that I can more fully integrate the teachings into my life. 🙏🏼

Excellent course! Thank you for opening my eyes! One of my favorite courses on insight Timer. I loved the part on how important it is to consciously breathe and slow it down! I will definitely listen to the course again 🙏

I learned a lot of things that I previously had no knowledge of in this course. It was a little confusing to follow at first but it quickly gets easier once I learned the style of English Heidi uses. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about yoga. She teaches the fundamentals. A great starting point.

This course was created with a true sense of Yoga in mind. Each day/limb is supported with yoga sutras to help you dive deeper into yourself & how you move this the world using the 8 limbs. Thank you for your knowledge. 💫🙏💫

After years of practicing the poses of yoga each morning before or after I meditate, I find myself drawn to learning about the eight limbs of yoga. Heidi’s course was what I was drawn to and I can’t wait to listen to it again.

Heidi rocks! She walks on water!! What a marvelous course on a difficult topic. I am awed by Heidi’s grasp of the subject and by her scholarship. Highly recommend this course to everyone. If I can say one thing that could be better is that the 8 limbs could be explained even more, perhaps by creating a longer course. I may be wrong, but I feel the lessons were very condensed and simplified. Hopefully Heidi considers expanding the course. Regardless, my admiration for Heidi is immense. Namaste.
