Wisdom Workshop: Navigating the Intersection of Yoga and Religion
For many, yoga serves as a powerful spiritual practice, yet its relationship with religion and faith can often feel complex. How do the theistic roots of the yoga tradition fit with the universal appeal of yoga as a spiritual path?
This workshop dives into the nuanced connection between yoga as a universal pathway of spiritual realization and religion as an expression of faith. It offers a comprehensive exploration of how the yoga tradition intersects with concepts of divinity, faith, and philosophy.
Participants will gain clarity on:
- How yoga philosophy intersects with concepts of divinity
- The difference between Western ideas of God and the Vedic concept of the Absolute Truth.
- How to reconcile duality and non-duality in yoga philosophy
- The relationship between yoga and Hinduism
- How to lead meaningful conversations about yoga’s theological dimensions in secular settings.
Participants will gain valuable insights into the relationship of faith and knowledge in yoga philosophy and tools for respectfully representing the yoga tradition in classes, workshops, and trainings.
Join us for this enlightening session to uncover the spiritual dimensions of yoga and find new ways to integrate and communicate these principles in modern life. Whether you’re a practitioner, teacher, or seeker, this workshop will empower you with insights to deepen your connection to yoga’s rich spiritual heritage.
