Whether you are new to meditation and curious about it, or have had some experiences that you would like to understand more, you will benefit from the solid grounding in the basic principles of classic yoga meditation this class provides. Through yoga texts we explore how different aspects and variations work, and why, and show the effects that different meditative objects have on us. To help with the transition from class to practice, every week we include short experiences (from a chair-seating position) and show how to integrate them into actual daily practice. No prior knowledge of Indian philosophy or Sanskrit is necessary.
