The teaching centres around the problems of everyday life in the modern world in which we live, drawing upon the wisdom of the science and philosophy of yoga to bring a deeper understanding to our experiences.

 

Engagement with yoga has traditionally been viewed as a progression of stages essentially from the physical, to the social, to mental and then spiritual. These can be compared to the energy centres of the body, or chakras, which also reflect this progression from physical to spiritual, as well as to, for example, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs triangle which also traces this progression of our simple human needs from the most basic to the most spiritual.

 

The syllabus is intended to be interactive, progressively examining the group’s experiences of life within the contexts of the stages of yoga, the chakras and human needs. A holistic approach to understanding our very existence.

 

Very broadly the course will be structured around the eight limbs of yoga albeit retaining flexibility to respond to issues that may arise in the here and now.

By examining and practising techniques related to each stage of yoga we can discover how to bring the benefits of yoga into our everyday lives, helping us to cope with work, finance and social aspects of our lives.

“The nature of the mind is the background to the whole of life and death, like the sky, which enfolds the whole universe in its embrace.”
