history & philosophy of yoga

(18 hours)

Sat 11th – 13th nov 2022

history of yoga includes tracing the origins of yoga and asking the question, can we really speak of such a thing as a yoga philosophy?! We will provide a broad overview of the key influential yogic texts and you will be able to weave history into the presence of your classes.

philosophy of yoga involves a comparative study of classical and tantric traditions. We will explore key scripture, samples from Rg Veda and Upanisads, then more in depth study of the Bhagavad Gita, Sutras and the Hatha Pradipika. We will also delve into Tantra taking a look at the Vijnana Bhairava.

This module includes much discussion and sharing for critical consideration of yoga philosophy and it’s relevance in contemporary yoga practice and modern life in general.
