A window into yoga histories, traditions, and lineages
What even is Yoga?
The term Yoga is ubiquitous and has a wide range of meanings. Most people know that the root word, yuj means to yoke, harness. What is it that we are yoking or harnessing? What is the goal of yoga? How did it all begin? In this four hour immersion, we explore the 4,000 year old history of Yoga, and delve into the evolution of this multi dimensional spiritual and philosophical system as it interacts with diverse religions, caste and empire.
We will study, discuss and reflect upon our own relationship to yoga in context to the history so we can be informed practitioners and teachers.
