Hosted by the L.A. Iyengar Institute
Modern Yoga Philosophy
Saturday, February 13
12:00 – 2:00 PM (PST)
How do we interpret traditional texts in the twenty-first century? Priorities have changed since the earliest yogis renounced worldly life. Which teachings still speak to us clearly across the millennia, and how do they relate to the way we live now?
This online workshop explores ideas from Daniel Simpson's book, The Truth of Yoga, which is an accessible guide to the history of yoga, examining links between philosophy and practice. Drawing inspiration from ancient ideas, we will reflect on what it means to find freedom from suffering in everyday life.
