For whom?
These classes are for those of you who want to develop your practice and deepen your knowledge of yoga, how to practice according to your individual needs, or/and develop your teaching. It is for individuals who are looking for a space to share thoughts and discuss the practice of yoga and life with others. You don´t have to be a yoga teacher to attend, although at times the classes will be adressed to those who teaches. However, there is a lot to understand about this even if you are not a teacher yourself.
THIRD SERIES: PHILOSOPHY
We end the series with the internal practice of Yoga.
This last serie will focus on philosophy and the importance of an internal practice.
Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality and existence. Studying philosophy helps you think clearly, carefully and logically, and develop the ability to integrate and assess new and unfamiliar ideas and information. It also encourages you to seek new and better answers to old problems.
FIRST SESSION:
How do we live a good life? Together we look at different schools of philosophy and focus our discussions around virtue and thoughts on what it means to be and do good.
SECOND SESSION:
Bhagavad Gita This session we will study the famous text Bhagavad Gita, which is given great importance in yogic philosophy. We'll learn about the central themes in the text such as Dharma, self-less action and virtue, and discuss how they can support us in living a life in line with our own core values.
THIRD SESSION:
The Wisdom of Socrates In this session, we’ll explore the teachings of Socrates, known for his statement: "I know only one thing: that I know nothing." Socrates encouraged self-reflection and the pursuit of wisdom through questioning, and in this session we’ll ask key questions about our own beliefs, balance, and how to apply wisdom in daily life.
