Knowledge of the subtle layers of our being offers the foundation for both understanding and receiving the deeper benefits of the subtle practices of the Yogic Path
How does Yoga view the body? As a multi layered experiential space sustained by vital energy
In this fascinating course of study we explore the totally unique view of human experience and embodiment as taught in the yogic tradition.
In our image-based externally oriented societies the human form is objectified and little understood . We can come to know what animates our form, how to generate a powerful union between the ever more subtle layers of our existence and thereby generate the potential for our light body to become more potent and accessible.
With the knowledge of the subtle bodies and layers of existence we can better comprehend the meaning and intention of all yogic practices from the physical to the more inwardly refined practices which require access to our subtler dimensions.
This unique course offering is delivered as four units of study which can be studied individually or in its entirety.
