From the Roots of Yoga: Introduction to Yoga History and Philosophy with Tara Lemerise

Starting on the banks of the Ganges all the way to your sticky mat today, yoga concepts and practice have evolved as a long and rich tradition. Part history lesson, part philosophical inquiry, this workshop begins with a bird's eye view of the yoga history timeline and an introduction to philosophies of India that have the most influence on yoga today.

You'll learn about the four main pillars of yoga (ethics and duty, action and consequence, cycles, and freedom), the nature of our soul, the goal of yoga practice and more. Tara's dynamic lecture style in this workshop makes complicated ideas and writings accessible and relevant to you and your yoga practice. The only prerequisite is curiosity. Come till the soil at the ground of yoga to grow the seeds of your own practice!

4 CEU’s Available

The material in this workshop is suitable for curious yoga practitioners, aspiring and current yoga teachers. No previous study or familiarity with yoga texts is required.

Expect mostly lecture/presentation with time for reflection and discussion, along with a comprehensive handout and a recommended reading list for further study. We will not be practicing any asana.

4 CEUs with Yoga Alliance are available for registered yoga teachers.

Cost: $70
