SPARK Workshop: The Philosophy of Yoga

Join us for this SPARK Workshop led by fellow SPARK member Kimberly Hamilton.

The Philosophy of Yoga: An Invitation to Explore the Practice On & Off the Mat

Yoga is often experienced through movement, but its foundation includes a practical philosophy rooted in the Yoga Sutras and the Eight Limbs of Yoga. In this workshop, we explore these teachings with a primary focus on the Yamas and Niyamas—the ethical and personal practices that examine how we relate to the world, ourselves, and our everyday choices.

This workshop is an invitation to explore how these ancient frameworks may support physical health, mental clarity, emotional balance, and mindful living in a modern context. Short discussions and quotes from the Yoga Sutras are paired with accessible, mixed-level movement, breathwork, mantra, and reflection, allowing participants to experience the philosophy in an embodied and approachable way.

This workshop is designed for:

• Students curious about the philosophy behind yoga
• Practitioners interested in applying yoga beyond physical postures
• Anyone seeking practical tools to support well-being and self-awareness

Kimberly is a yoga, tai chi, qi gong instructor and holistic health coach. Growing up as a severe asthmatic and being frequently hospitalized throughout childhood gave her a deep appreciation for pranayama and how yoga is centered around the breath.

Kimberly is dedicated to teaching people the importance of cultivating a mind/body connection and remaining physically fit through exercise and proper nutrition. One central aspect of yoga and meditation that Kimberly emphasizes is how the mind and body come together to create mindful action on and off the mat in daily life.
