Event Description:

Spiritual Roots of Yoga
The lecture will focus on the heart of yoga, the science of spiritual transformaton par excellence, from the Rig Veda, the most ancient text in any Indo-European language, through the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita to the Yoga Sutras attributed to Patanjali.

The workshop will consist of meditation, detailed discussion of the purpose of yoga and the obstacles to the realization of that purpose. Psychological and physical exercises with an emphasis on 'yoga off the mat' and 'mindfulness centred in the body' will be covered. There will be ample opportunity for questions and exchange. It is preferrable that participants attend both the lecture and the workshop.
