Even though traditionally a spiritual practice, yoga’s various tools can be used to promote physical and mental health and well-being. Its spiritual benefits aside, there is no doubt of the benefits yoga offers the body and the mind. Our Yoga Philosophy course invites students to cultivate a meaningful understanding of yoga that will build a strong foundation for lifelong practice both on and OFF the mat.
Over the course of 6 weeks, we will study the ideas of traditional yoga and embark on a journey of self-discovery, unlocking a deeper inner wisdom.
Using the wisdom from classic texts such as Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad-gita we will discuss the main concepts of yoga and how to utilize these in daily life. Through this process, students will uncover obstacles that may be limiting their progress toward achieving the ultimate goal of yoga.
