In this heart-centered workshop philosophy and asana will be woven together. Our sessions this weekend will consist of Bill’s talks on yoga philosophy, sutra study, discussion and meditation, and will include asana with Bridget. Meditation practices are woven into each session.
Bhakti as Yoga
Heart-centered spiritual practices can open us to the experience of love: for the world, for others, for ourselves, for life itself, and for the Source of this love. The complexities and possibilities of life’s journey give us an opportunity to strengthen, deepen, clarify and express these feelings. In this workshop we will focus on some of the characteristics and possibilities of a yogic life informed by spiritual love. To help us do this, Bill will lead us in reflecting on teachings from the Narada Bhakti Sutra, a 10th century yoga text from India, that can inform us as we refine our understanding of the love that can stand at the heart of a deep yogic practice. This is a wonderful set of teachings that can give us guidance regarding ways to cultivate higher levels of spiritual love and to bring that love forth in our own contemporary lives. Bridget will weave these teachings through our bodies, minds and hearts through asana sessions.
