Myth to Mat (with puppies)- Brahma + the cycle of creation
Advertisement
A few words from Jade
Hindu Mythology fascinates me and im excited to start these workshops. This is not only an opportunity to practice yoga in a new way, but one to help open your mind, to deepen the journey within and to ignite this spirituality and philosopher within.
Workshop Intro
Hindu mythology, talks of Brahma - the god of creation and his ability to dream of worlds yet to be, and make them into reality. It is beleived that earths life cycle goes through 4 stages - known as Yugas.
Each Yuga (age) will feature specific energetic themes, poses, and the embodiment of beings created by Brahma — such as rishis (sages), devas (gods), asuras (demons), humans, animals, and more. This transforms the practice into an exploration of both cosmic time and the inner archetypes (common patterns engrained in the human psyche thats universal to all of humanity) that we all hold.
Workshop Themes :
Cyclical nature of life - and how change is the most natural and inevitable part of existence.
Archetypes - reflection on what resonates with yourself encouraging self study (svadhyaya).
Appreciation and gratitude for all that exists.
What to expect
🔱 Opening: Myth & Meaning (20 min)
The story of Brahma, the creation of the world, and the beings he created (devas, asuras, rishis, humans, etc.).
Yuga introduction explanation of their symbolic progression from purity to chaos. Satya - Treta - Dvapara - Kali.
Touch on parallels between the 4 yugas and the current cycle we are in, along with how you resonate with each personally.
PUPPIES- what better way to resonate with creation than having little puppies with us during this workshop? These little bundles of joy are early in their life journey and we can observe their youthful energy.
