The Yogic Blueprint
Sunday, Oct 30, 2022
Time: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pmLocation: Open Door Yoga Commercial Drive
Over 2,500 years ago, the Indian sage Patanjali defined eight components, or “limbs” as the blueprint for the yoga journey. He condensed the Indian yogic tradition into an open-ended system for cultivating ethical character, training the mind and realizing the Self.
We build our practice on the yogic blueprint
In this workshop, we approach yoga as an evolving system integrating the contributions, teachings, and insights of many contemporary experts in the fields of hatha yoga, cognitive psychology, biology and neuroscience.
A session of yogic postures, breathing & meditation is followed with scientific discussion and personal reflection to deepen your understanding of the practice – integrating what we’ve learned, applying the principles and harvesting insights.
We will reference both classical yoga texts like the Bhagavad Gita and the yoga sutras, as well as exciting discoveries in physics, somatic psychology and biology.
By the end you’ll become confident in the importance of your practice and the transformative benefits it brings to your life.
