This workshop is one of a series of Yoga Philosophy immersions.
The central concept of the Bhagavad Gita is dharma which is acting in a way that is righteous whilst also being in the performer’s nature, or more simply to do your dharma is to do your duty.
This immersion will focus on the Gita’s main points and teachings on yoga practice which are karma (right action), jnana (right knowledge), and bhakti (service, devotion). Each of these teaching points is mutually inclusive of dharma.
Out of these practices flow fearlessness, Self-realisation and moksha or liberation.
The Bhagavad Gita advises us to live a life that is practical, simple, uncluttered, efficient, rewarding and enlightening. For the most part, the Gita’s teachings are practical - it is often referred to as a day-to-day manual for right living. This immersion will discuss those teachings.
The session comprises two parts. The first, a yin practice incorporating Tantric storytelling. The second, a satsang/discussion session to provide opportunity for questions and group sharing.
These sessions are standalone workshops and are booked separately.
Note: this event has a 72-hour cancellation policy. Cancellations within this timeframe and no-shows cannot be refunded, credited or transferred.
