POST-GRADUATE YOGA STUDIES
Creating Clarity - The Role of Guna-s in Yoga & Ayurveda
Saturday 15 - Sunday 16 June 2024
Join AYC practitioners, including yoga therapists and guest teachers to delve into the role of the guna-s in creating clarity. This weekend of study is aimed at current yoga teachers (open to those from any tradition) or experienced practitioners who wish to deepen their understand and dive into yogic philosophy.
The Gunas are qualities that pervade all of life. Ayurveda teaches that sattva (balance, clarity) is the dominant guna for health. In Yoga we prize sattva as the goal of practice for a refined Mind. Yet transformation and change (parinama) are the basis of our human experience which means sattva is ever shifting, rather than a permanent state.
How does Yoga practice reorient us to Sattva?
What do we come to understand when the Mind experiences this state of refinement?
Perspectives from both Chapter 3 of the Yoga Sutras and Samkhya philosophy will be discussed. Introductory & concluding practices will be given to highlight these teachings.
