Live Online Yoga Philosophy Class
What is Yoga Philosophy?
The main aspect of yoga philosophy is that the mind, body, and soul are interconnected and inseparable, with various philosophical concepts. Studying and understanding these ideas are essential to navigating our journey towards self-realisation.
Central to yoga philosophy is the idea that spiritual ignorance leads to suffering and binds us to the cycle of rebirth. The removal of ignorance can be achieved through various paths and techniques, with a focus on mental discernment, detachment, spiritual knowledge, and self-awareness.
The law of karma (the law of cause and effect) is a central concept in yoga philosophy, serving as the force that binds us to the cycle of rebirth and perpetuates suffering and illusion.
The concept of maya, or illusion and ignorance, creates a barrier between the ego and the unified experience of the universe. The ultimate aim of yoga is to achieve a state of pure awareness known as moksha or samadhi, which involves transcending the fluctuations of the mind.
Every class emphasises various elements of yoga philosophy by exploring ancient yogic texts such as the “Yoga Sutras of Patanjali”, “Hatha Yoga Pradipika”, and the “Bhagavad Gita”.
The class integrates theory, mantra, pranayama, basic asanas, meditation, and home practice.
