Nourish your yoga with inspiring words of wisdom, chanting ancient texts in Sanskrit, and a renewing yoga practice. We will study Book 2 of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, which describes yoga as both a transformational practice and details the steps of the practice. It gives practical suggestions for dealing with negative mental states and challenging people, as well as for cultivating a relationship with your highest aspect. It describes the development of a quiet and focused mind, which is the goal of yoga.
Each workshop includes:
- Responsive chanting (Yoga Sutras in Sanskrit)
- Lecture/Discussion
- Relaxing and renewing yoga practice
This workshop is a great review for yoga teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of the source text of yoga and link through chanting. It is appropriate for students who wish to know more about the practice of yoga.
Instructor Dawn Summers delights in making this ancient and profound wisdom relevant to Western minds and modern life.
