Themes from the Yoga Sutras with Saraswathi Vasudevan - THE YAMAS
Event Information
About this event
On the fourth Saturday of each month we continue our Themes from the Sutras with Saraswathi Vasudevan.
Saraswathi is a master of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, that are the foundation of all yoga today.
Saraswathi has been immersed in yoga, yogic philosophy and yoga therapy training and classes for more than thirty years. She trained directly with Sri Desikachar of the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, and now a master of yoga philosophy herself, Saraswathi is renowned for bringing the ancient teachings to life.
In our upcoming Sutra sessions we will look at the Yamas. The Yamas are one of the eight limbs of yoga, as enumerated in the Sutras.
The Yamas pertain to observances that one may make in the conduct of their life and relationships, and include ahimsa (non-violence), asteya (non-stealing), satya (truthfulness), aparigraha (non-possessiveness), and brahmacharya (celibacy or fidelity).
Correct understanding and observance of these yogic guidelines lays the ground for personal growth.
This week we look to the fifth Yama, Aparigraha, non-hoarding/non-grasping. An important concept to understand in today’s context for an aspirant.
What is my true worth and how do I receive the gifts in my life?
How can I unravel the deeper patterns within me that make me want to grab, take more than I need/I am worth and overburden myself?
How can I discover the purpose of my existence through the practice of Aparigraha?
What is meant by these ancient precepts?
And how do they relate to me and my daily challenges ?
Saraswathi will once again join Yoga Therapy Australia from Chennai to enliven and elucidate these principles in her illuminating and charming manner, such that they will become clearly relevant to our life and wellbeing.
