This online workshop explores how yogic texts can provide inspiration in times of adversity. Although their goals involve withdrawal from worldly life, they also promote peace of mind and harmonious relationships. Drawing on traditional texts, we'll reflect on their meanings in practical ways and see how their teachings relate to our lives. Yoga began as a way to escape from the cycle of births, so we’ll consider how this differs from modern priorities and ask if ancient texts need reinterpreting. This will spark new ideas for putting philosophy into practice.
