East Meets West – 30 hr CEC program – POSTPONED

An exploration of Eastern yogic philosophy interrupted by the Western mind. CEC’s for Yoga Teachers registered with Yoga Alliance.
Join Acharya Ram and Laurie to explore our differences and discover the many paths in the teachings of yoga. Find your own awareness and uncover the accessibility to yoga’s wide breadth of knowledge and appeal. Terrified people are welcome!

Topics include:

The Vedas – Acharya Ram will explore the wealth of these texts and offer the richness that is contained in living a Vedic lifestyle.

Upanishads – translating the word “Upanishad” gives us “sitting down near.”  Whom am I supposed to sit beside and what am I supposed to hear?  Let Acharya Ram explain.

Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras – If I don’t fly am I still doing this properly?

I’m not Hindu – what could all this hold for me? Laurie offers approaches to yoga philosophy to give the teachings context and meaning for someone not raised around temples, chanting, or men in loincloths doing tree pose.

Yoga and physics -  The Large Hadron Collider is great but the yogis had answers to some of these puzzles before Newton was even a photon in his father’s vision sense organ.

Changing the way you think and learning not to think – How yoga offers the antidote to western mind and destructive notions of “progress” in our world.

And “Can you shut up already?  I just came here for my sore back.” How doing asana class opens doors for spiritual aspirants who didn’t even know they were on a path.
