Seeing Through the Lens of Yoga Philosophy

Yoga takes us on an adventure to inner space, to discover who we are beyond this outer shell. And this discovery informs the outer adventure. The outer adventure is one of discovering what the world really is, and what our relationship with the world really is. and what we should be doing, how we should respond to our destiny.

When we look at the modern world through the lens of traditional yoga philosophy, something amazing happens: the bend of the lens reveals secrets that were hiding in plain sight, clarifies the blur of a seemingly irrational world, and suggests ways to think about our lives that never would have occurred to us otherwise.

Beyond changing how we think about our selves, the world, and our relationship with the world, looking at our lives through the lens of yoga philosophy inspires a very different kind of action than we might otherwise take. And it is action informed by knowledge that elevates our experience of yoga wisdom beyond the level of armchair philosophy to the realm of personal realization by direct perception.

Yoga, as a practice, is the technology of revelation. Yoga, as a philosophy, is the user guide for that technology. In this workshop, we’ll lift the lens of yoga to our eyes and see how what yoga sees compares to what we might see otherwise.
