Beyond Asana: Yoga Sutras
With Betsy Ceva, Liz Shulman and Charlene Bradin
Friday October 17th, 6-9
Beyond Asana; Yoga Sutras workshop is designed for the serious Yoga student who is ready to delve into the philosopy behind the practice. The Yoga Sutras, authored by the sage Patanjali sometime between the fourth and second centuries, is an exposition of the essential philosophy and techniques of Yoga in the condensed form of 196 sutras. Sutra means “thread” or “string”. The Yoga Sutras bind together the essential aspects of Yoga as a thread binds the beads of a necklace.
In this workshop we will examine Chapter I, which answers the question “What is Yoga?” We will also study the Yamas (restraints) and Niyamas (observances), the first and second step on the eithg-fold path of Yoga.
This workshop is part of the Birchwood Center Teacher Training Program.
Fee: $35.
