Venue: Samye Ling
Course Leader: Hanna Casement
Price: £62.00
Looking at the ancient Yoga Sutras of Patanjali we can see that Yoga is
more than just a physical exercise, but a way of moving towards a point
of stillness within in order to prepare us for meditation.
This
workshop takes us on a deeper journey into our Yoga practice to use it
as a way of focussing the mind and preparing the body for meditation,
as well as using the postures as a form of moving meditation.
Using
asana (postures), breath work, sound, relaxation, and some study of the
philosophy of Yoga, we will explore moving towards that point of
stillness that is the essence of Yoga as it was outlined by the great
sage Patanjali.
The weekend aims to provide some foundation for
us to develop more awareness in ourselves, to develop a more rounded
understanding of the path of Yoga, and to develop a more meditative
approach when we practice our Yoga.
Open to yoga students with a minimum of 1 years yoga practice.
