Course overview
Course description
If you are interested in deepening your understanding of yoga on and off the mat, this friendly and inclusive course is right for you. Throughout the course, you will be guided to contemplate the five foundational philosophical concepts of yoga (YAMAS) according to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras (traditional text). This course will provide you with a friendly, nurturing and fun place, even if you feel a little shy of yoga. This course will offer you guidelines, like helping hands, to move you deeper into your own authenticity and into a life that is richer and fuller, simply because you are living with more skill. This course is ideal for people who like to contemplate how to live more skilfully, as individuals and as a community.
In the course you will be given the opportunity to:
• deepen your understanding of yoga on and off the mat,
• develop your own personal practice,
• practice a gentle physical asana practice,
• meditate,
• have a space to practice authentic expression and listening from the heart.
You will recognise how to use the YAMAS to support individual wellbeing, that of the community and the environment. Sharing your experiences in a supported community will help develop self-confidence and give the opportunity to explore meaning in your life
