The Origins of Yoga - FREE TASTER

This self-paced Philosophy course is centered on the timeless question: What is Yoga? We’ll delve into this through the lens of one of the Kashmir traditions, exploring the remarkable journey of the first yogis, Shiva and his consort Parvati—the first-ever yoga student. Their story offers profound insights not only into what yoga is, but perhaps more importantly, what yoga is not. Sometimes, understanding requires letting go of long-held beliefs and embracing the idea that there are many perspectives, each offering its own truth. If you're here, it's because you're searching for something deeper. Not just yoga as an exercise, but as a transformative journey—one that moves beyond the surface and into the essence of yoga. This course isn’t just about learning techniques; it’s about discovering resilience, finding connection, and stepping into the person you’re meant to become. This isn’t your typical yoga course filled with definitions or rigid concepts. It’s alive—built on stories, experiences, and the lessons I’ve gathered over years of practice and reflection. Yoga, to me, is about navigating life with grace, finding strength in hardship, and understanding that the journey is as important as the destination. Together, we’ll explore the deeper meanings of yoga through the ancient story of Shiva and Parvati—two figures whose journeys reflect our own struggles and transformations. This course is your opportunity to embark on a personal evolution, one that will empower you to face life’s challenges with heart and to never lose hope.
