How do we truly live our yoga? How do we take our yoga off the mat and extend its benefits and insights into our daily lives?
In this online course with Judith Hanson Lasater exploring how we can enrich our yoga practice through the lens of ancient yoga philosophy and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
For many of us, the ancient philosophy of yoga as formulated in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the most foundational text of yoga, may seem abstract and irrelevant to our lives in general as well as our yoga practice.
However, in fact, the verses of the Yoga Sutras create a sophisticated map of mind and consciousness, which is highly relevant for modern-day living, says Judith.
Although created more than 2000 years ago, the Yoga Sutras contain timeless knowledge about who we are and how we function as human beings.
Judith will draw on her more than four decades of teaching yoga to offer a practical perspective on the wisdom contained in the Yoga Sutras and its relevance for the challenges we deal with today.
She will introduce some of the most central sutras and show how they can enliven and enhance our approach to yoga practice, yoga teaching, and our daily lives.
