In our fast-paced, highly connected world, it is easy to find ourselves clinging to stress, expectations, and physical tightness. Exploring the ancient yogic ethical concept of Aparigraha, or non-grasping, offers a practical path to mental clarity and physical release. This text-based course guides you through both the philosophical foundations of non-attachment and step-by-step instructions for physical twisting postures to help you let go of what no longer serves you.
