Barbara Cook is a local of Tauranga with a strong background in Ayurveda and Sanskrit.
In conjunction with the Tauranga Yoga Centre, Barbara has offered to hold an introductory session on Yoga Philosophy.
Asana makes the body into a haven from which a person can engage more deeply and joyfully with life. In the traditional yoga system, a strong, graceful body is only the beginning.
What comes next?
Patanjali’s “Yoga Sutras” is the ancient Sanskrit text most often quoted by traditional yoga teachers. With its clear and sensible descriptions and instructions, it encourages yoga practitioners beyond asana and offers a guiding light in the world that exists behind closed eyelids.
This session will introduce you to some key sutras in this text, with a view toward practical self-healing. We’ll chant some of these Sanskrit sutras, inviting the transformative vibration of the sage Patanjali into our lives. No previous Sanskrit knowledge is required.
Our vision is that this class will become a regular event at the Yoga centre.
