An engaging and accessible exploration of the rich philosophical foundations that underpin yoga practice, presented through interactive lectures, group discussions, and practical applications. This seminar delves into essential concepts including the Eight Limbs of Yoga (Ashtanga), the principles of dharma (life purpose), ahimsa (non-violence), and the relationship between ancient wisdom and modern living. Students discover how philosophical teachings can inform daily choices, relationships, and personal growth while learning about the historical context and cultural significance of yogic traditions. Each session includes time for questions, personal reflection, and practical exercises that help integrate these timeless teachings into contemporary life. Topics may include karma and conscious action, the nature of suffering and liberation, ethical guidelines for living, and the spiritual dimensions of physical practice. Perfect for yoga practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding beyond the physical poses, philosophy students, or anyone interested in ancient wisdom traditions and their relevance to modern wellbeing.
