The Bhagavad Gita, a timeless foundational scripture for yoga philosophy, provides lessons beyond the physical postures and into the path of self -realization.  This course is designed for the dedicated practitioner and teachers aspiring to deepen their understanding of yoga.  In depth study of this ancient text will broaden your knowledge into more advanced and complex yoga definitions. Going beyond academic and philosophical study, we will explore how profound the teachings of the Gita can be applied to your personal growth and will empower you to lead classes with greater depth, purpose and authenticity.  

But which Bhagavad Gita should you read?
There are many commentaries and translations of the  Bhagavad Gita. The poetry’s framework and structure in all Bhagavad Gita translations is always the same, yet styles varies by the specific commentators explanations, perspectives and personalities.
Feel free to choose “your” Gita to study and behold. You may choose your Book based on your connection to a particular commentator, the look of the cover or the amount of pages it contains to study. All of these reasons are lovely.

A few we have found beautiful for different reasons are:
• Paramahansa Yogananda’s singular edition or two leather bound editions are excellent for those who enjoy in depth studies with Sanskrit  and technical details.
• Swami Satchidananda, The Living Gita, is perfect for those preferring side stories to reframe the original lesson in a gentle way.
• Gandhi’s Gita is a truly thoughtful piece that feels alive with a humble teacher guiding the story.
Also, audiobooks are  a great way to listen and learn!

Yoga Philosophy is a method of practicing self-control by restraining the mental activities from kleśas (afflictions). Then we can abide in the form of our choosing. Otherwise, we will identify with the mental activities (asmitā) and be controlled by them. The Yogasūtra offers many methods for restraining mental activities from afflictions. For mature practitioners: the continuous practice of samādhi (abhyāsa) & renouncing all afflictions (vairāgya). For intermediate practitioners: the uninterrupted practice (Kriyāyoga) of scorching afflictions (tapas), self-governance (svādhyāya) & devotion to Sovereignty (īśvara praṇidhāna). For beginners: the 8-Limb method (Aṣṭāṅga Yoga.) In this course you will learn about the origins of Yoga in the Kaṭhopaniṣad, the Bhagavadgītā, the Yogācārabhūmiśāstra, and the Yogasūtra. You will also learn how you can apply these insights in practical daily living and in teaching Yoga classes.

This weekend will be loaded with lots of tricks to help you understand things like knee alignment, hip pain, low back pain, shoulder injury, how to align the head and neck just to name a few.  Most importantly we will learn what is the most important thing about Yoga Therapeutics.

“Advanced Asana” doesn’t mean hollowback handstands, it means having function, freedom, and awareness in the ways we move. An advanced practice isn’t about aesthetics, it’s about cultivating deeper purpose and intention in our postures and transitions. Even child’s pose can be advanced!

A downward facing dog can hold all of our unconscious habits, or it can hold the archetypal potential of our truest self. Should you do a pose based on how you feel or based on alignment? How much should you bend your knees in a forward bend? What should I do with my back leg in a lunge? Should I tuck my toes in camel pose? We’ll explore all of this and so much more.

We’ll look at the bigger picture. Backbends open the frame for the lungs, forward bends help flush the kidneys, props offer scaffolding, adjustments offer new perspective, and breath invites the imagination. Yoga Asana isn’t just movement; it’s the embodiment of theory through practice. Our time on the mat is a metaphor for rest of our lives. An advanced practice transforms unconsciousness into consciousness, which changes everything.

Expect interesting dialogue, intentional practices, real-time feedback, effective adjustments, creative use of props, and time for Q&A. You’ll refine your practice, discover new approaches to familiar poses, and find joy through communal practice. We’ll break down alignment, transitions, techniques, and the reasons why we do what we do.
