Join me for a 30-hour immersion in yoga history and philosophy. As the video below explains, putting philosophy into practice starts with exploring the context for practice and how it evolves.
Through a mix of live discussions, pre-recorded videos and a final project, you'll develop your own perspective on yoga – as well as seeing how to anchor it in earlier traditions – while expressing it in your own words.
To quote my book, The Truth of Yoga:
"There has never been any such thing as 'One True Yoga'. The practice and the theories behind it have evolved, becoming combined in a variety of ways. None of these is 'truer' than others. Each makes sense in context, but there is no obligation to pick one text, or one form of yoga, and uncritically follow whatever it says. We are free to ignore what might not seem relevant. But that makes it important to know what traditional teachings say, and to distinguish this from how we interpret them."
If you're a teacher, the course can be combined with a 300-hour training at The Shala – or you can also study independently.
