Weekend Workshop Details

Description

Are you interested in the theory, intentions, and history behind the practices of yoga that we love doing? Is yoga more to you than just physical movements, stretching and sweating? Join Paul as he guides an exploratory journey into the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of classical yoga, in a holistic sense, with the aim to understand yoga as a worldview. How can we use these ancient teachings to inform our daily actions and modify our lives for the better? Is it actually possible to reduce suffering while navigating this chaotic world? Is life fair? Do we truly have free will? The study of yoga philosophy gives us these answers and more.

Texts for study will include:

  • Yoga Sutras of Patañjali
  • Bhagavad Gita
  • “Theosophy: An Introductory Study Course” by John Algeo
  • “A New Earth” and “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle
  • “Ancient Wisdom for a New Age” by Terry Hunt and Paul Benedict
  • “The Masters and The Path” by C.W. Leadbeater

Additional topics of focus are:

  • How does karma operate in my life and what can I learn from it?
  • Is there an afterlife?
  • The nature of the human soul
  • The power of thought
  • The plan and purpose of physical existence
  • What is spirit?
  • Comparative religions and yoga
  • Developing clairvoyance

Location: Live + Livestream Details
