Philosophy of Yoga: Understanding the 8 Limb Path
Deepen your knowledge of yoga philosophy with this lecture and discussion on the eight limbs of yoga and how it is relevant in our everyday lives.
The legendary sage Maharishi Patanjali describes in his classical work (the Yoga Sutras), the goal of yoga as total freedom from suffering. Patanjali elaborated the eight branches of yoga to help expand our awareness from individuality to universality, from ego to spirit. During this workshop, we will discuss all eight limbs and how we can apply them in our modern day life.
Lecture and discussion only. No asana but comfortable clothing is recommended.
