Living the 8 Limbs of Yoga

A transformational eight-week journey for women in midlife

Midlife is not a detour—it’s a sacred threshold. A time when the outer roles we’ve played begin to shift, and the deeper call of the soul grows louder. Living the 8 Limbs of Yoga is an eight-week experiential workshop designed for women who are ready to root into their inner wisdom, reclaim their vitality, and live with greater clarity and purpose.

Guided by educator, Yoga teacher, and midlife transformational coach Sharon Ryan, this journey offers more than insight—it offers a practice. A way to ground your life in meaning, presence, and spiritual alignment. Drawing from the philosophical foundations of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, participants will explore how the eight limbs of yoga offer a timeless framework for navigating midlife transitions with resilience, grace, and conscious renewal.

Each week, we’ll explore one limb through:

• Gentle movement and breathwork to reconnect with your body’s wisdom

• Group guided meditations

• Reflective journaling and soulful inquiry to honor your life’s unfolding

• Group dialogue and ritual to foster connection, courage, and community

• Practical tools to integrate yoga teachings into everyday life

  
  

Together, we’ll journey through:

1. Yama – Releasing what no longer serves and reclaiming your values

2. Niyama – Cultivating inner practices that nourish your spirit

3. Asana – Re-inhabiting your body with grace and presence

4. Pranayama – Awakening energy and breath as sources of renewal

5. Pratyahara – Turning inward to hear your own voice again

6. Dharana – Focusing your intention for the next chapter

7. Dhyana – Deepening your connection to inner stillness

8. Samadhi – Touching the sacred essence of unity and grace

   
   

This workshop is designed for women in midlife—whether seasoned in yoga or newly curious—who are ready to explore its deeper dimensions as a profound spiritual discipline and integrative life practice. No prior experience is required, only a willingness to engage with ancient wisdom as a living guide for embodied transformation, emotional resilience, and soulful expansion. Through accessible teachings and grounded practices, participants will discover how the eight limbs of yoga offer a meaningful structure for daily living, personal renewal, and conscious evolution.

Come as you are. Leave with a practice that anchors your life, honors your journey, and opens the door to new possibilities.
