Yoga is far more than a series of postures to help improve flexibility and ready the body for meditation. At the deeper levels yoga is a path for mastering the mind and realizing the Spiritual Self. Drawing from the classic teachings on yoga, the Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali, this workshop teaches participants five ways to master their minds through Correct Knowledge, Overcoming Illusion, Working Through Emotional Turmoil, the Yoga of Sleep, and Staying in the Present Moment. We will also discuss the nature of samadhi that is reached during deep meditation practice. Led by Dr. Lisa Love. $65.
