Interweaving Threads of Yoga Philosophy

This workshop covers the relationship between two essential yoga wisdom text: the Yoga-sutras and the Bhgavad-gita. Our discussion will include the origins of yoga, the philosophical relationships between Yoga, Sankhya, and Vedanta, yoga psychology, yoga as a moral philosophy, the intersection of yoga and religion, and the essential tension between traditional yoga and modern culture. We’ll also explore the concept of karma and samasara, how yoga reconciles destiny and free will, and different conceptions of the role of bhakti in a yoga practice.

This workshop is part of Pranapiloga’s 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program.
