Introduction to Yoga History & Philosophy Workshop

What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than learning about Yoga’s history and philosophy? Modern Yoga looks completely different than ancient Yoga practices. How and why did this happen? In this workshop, we’ll learn about the origins of Yoga in the pre-Vedic times and its different iterations throughout its complex history. Along the way, we’ll discuss Yoga philosophy! Yoga philosophy tends to be the most overlooked part of the way the West practices Yoga. We’ll also address some common Yoga conundrums, like why are words in Sanskrit so long? How did the chakras get their colors? Is Yoga a “Hindu” practice or something different?

If you have any burning requests to learn about that pertain to this topic, please talk to Matthew before the workshop so it can be incorporated in our discussion! 

Some topics of discussion can be sensitive. Come with open minds & hearts!
