LIVING YOGA : Practical Applications of Yoga

OVERVIEW

Conducted over a day, this workshop explores some of the philosophical principles underlying the practice of Yoga. We demonstrate how Yoga can be assimilated into your daily lives, enhancing your ability to manage your responsibilities/relationships at work and home. Properly understood, Yoga will provide a practical blueprint for living that will enable the right balance between your need for growth in the material sense, without compromising your overall need for peace, harmony, happiness and spiritual growth. During the day, you will also practice some Hatha yoga processes that will increase your resistance to stress, elevate your levels of awareness and over a period of time, help you understand yourself and your role in life.
