Schedule

Workshop: Ashtanga & Meditation

Friday 7-8.30pm – $50

In The Yoga Sutras, Patanjali wrote that the mind can be stilled by practice and non-attachment (1.12). How does our practice on the mat actually work to still our mind? Where does non-attachment fit in? This workshop will take a detailed and practical look at the technique and philosophy that can make our daily Ashtanga practice a powerful meditation. You will require a mat and you will need to wear appropriate clothing for asana.
