Raja Yoga - Practical Yoga Psychology & Ashram Life
10 - 16 Jan $1000 Book Here
The week offers a deeper understanding of yoga and tools to maintain equanimity, balance of mind and to creatively manage the upheavals, distractions and disturbances of the mind and inner self.
The fundamentals of regular practice are explored as a foundation to maintain a more fulfilling and joyful life.
Sadhana isn’t simply what we do when we practice our asana (postures) and pranayama (breathing). Sadhana is approached as the rhythm on life’s journey accompanying us through the entire range of life’s experiences.
The practical yoga psychology of Raja Yoga using the Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras are explored in an engaging and informal way relating to inner modifications of the mind (vrittis), maintaining focus (abhyasa), managing raga and dwesha (attraction and aversion), harmonizing the gunas (3 essential qualities) and using the yama and niyamas to create a self-positive expression and perception.
Each day involves, yoga classes, yoga nidra and meditation. Theoretical exploration of key sutras is creatively linked with reflection on these ideas in the light of practical engagement with the rhythms of ashram life.
