Yoga Philosophy & Practice.

Catalog description

This course will guide students through the philosophical tenets and practice of yoga. An essential aim of the philosophical system of yoga is to shift the view of self as separate and to realize the unitive state, the inherent interconnectedness with each other, and the responsibility towards individual and collective peace, happiness, and freedom. Students will be exposed to the language and root texts on yoga which emerged from the classical period of Indian history and that are foundational to the practice of yoga in contemporary society. Through engagement, deep reflection and application, students will have the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in the inspiring philosophy, rich history, study and practice of yoga. ( GEWE )
