An Introduction to the Eight Limbs of Yoga

dimanche 10 décembre 2023 • Durée 43:13

You've heard references to the eight limbs of yoga. You may have some familiarity with the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali. Perhaps you practice a few of the limbs. What did Patañjali outline as the purpose or goal of yoga? Many yoga students are surprised to learn that the eight limbs of the Yoga Sutras have very little to do with the āsanas, or postures, that we associate with our modern yoga practice.

Join scholar-practitioner Brenda C. Eppley as she unpacks what is a cryptic and challenging text into a condensed and easily understood episode that is geared toward the yoga student who wants to deepen their understanding of why we do what we do in a yoga class.

As yoga continues to gain popularity in the West, its relationship with religion and spirituality is increasingly complex.

Lifting the Veil of Tantra Yoga

lundi 16 janvier 2023 • Durée 48:10

Tantra yoga as a practice and tradition is often misunderstood and misinterpreted, particularly when tantra yoga in the modern yoga context tries to align with the teachings and foundations of classical tantra yoga. Modern yoga students may be quite surprised to learn that many of the elements of their yoga practice are rooted in classical tantra from centuries ago and that placing sexual activities at the heart of tantra is a recent construct that originated in the 20th century.

Tantra as a subject is deeply complex, with a history and philosophy that converges and diverges throughout the yogic timeline. Brenda begins to lift the veil of tantra's origins while highlighting the elements of classical tantra that infuse our modern postural practice.

The Nature of the Yoga Guru in the West

jeudi 5 mai 2022 • Durée 56:29

An introduction to the tradition of the yoga guru, with specific attention given to the differences between the yoga guru in the East and the yoga guru found in the West's Modern Postural Yoga. Brenda considers the shift in dynamics of the 1:1 teacher-student relationship that has existed for centuries vs. the modern global guru in which the relationship is frequently surrounded by controversy. This includes an examination of the allegations of misconduct and criminal activity of a few well-known gurus to determine if the nature of the modern guru is a contradiction when compared to the guru traditions that were in place before the rise of Modern Postural Yoga.
