Explanations of Session Types

Session Level: Open

Session Length: 1.5 hour(s)

Session Description:

Throughout the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, we encounter and re-encounter the reminder that yoga is a gradual process - a practice that unfolds through practice and inquiry across a landscape of time. Often, our minds are ready to jump ahead to imagined levels of acheivement or understanding, while other impulses tether us to earlier phases of comprehension. One gift of yoga practice is that it connects us to this present moment, where we can exist with reality and see one step ahead, one step ahead, one step ahead.

Notes to Participants:

This session will be a talk covering many of the sutras that touch on this idea, exploring how they reinforce one another and how we can put these principles to work in our lives, on our yoga mats, and in our other yogic practices. There will be some time for questions at the end.
