Join us as we examine the history of yoga and its multitudinous roots. In this workshop we will uncover the fascinating root of yoga and how it has arrived at what yoga is today.
Ever wonder how the yoga postures that we practice today came to be? Or how our modern, studio-based yoga practice evolved from the ancient traditions and texts of the past 2000+ years?
During this illuminating day of inquiry, we’ll examine the history of yoga and its multitudinous roots by looking at pivotal texts (like the Bhagavad Gita, Upansihads, Yoga Sutras, and Hatha Yoga Pradipika). We’ll also discuss the many forms yoga has taken over the years–devotional ritual, concentration-based meditation, energetic cultivation, embodied physical practice–as a way of better understanding how we’ve arrived at what yoga is today. Mostly lecture with some meditation and physical practice.
