Heart of Yoga
Heart of Yoga The Heart of Yoga Course is a 6-module course exploring the origins of yoga and its ultimate aim. By placing Yoga practices in their correct context and by understanding the real purpose and benefit of Yoga, for us as individuals, and for all of us as a global community, these marvellous practices become truly transformative. Delving into the Heart of Yoga will help to open us to a life of purpose , value and meaning. We discover that the joy, compassion and peace we all so need and long for is truly accessible within ourselves. The Heart of Yoga brings us to the Heart of our own Being, to knowing ourselves as we truly are.
Yoga was developed in India many thousands of years ago as a practical way of bringing about four key conditions, which the ancient wisdom scripture, the Vedas, stated were the birth-right of every human being. It said that:
'Sarve bhavantu sukhinah, sarve santu niramahah, sarve bhadrani pashyantu, ma kaschid duhkha bhag bhavet'
On the Heart of Yoga Course, we explore the 8 branches of Yoga, grouping them into 4 areas of practice:
1 Postures to strengthen and keep the body healthy
2 Breathing to balance the nervous system and emotions
3 Meditation practices to relieve stress and calm the mind
4 Lifestyle and nutrition to support these practices
The ancient practitioners of Yoga realised that to do this, we need to optimise all aspects of ourselves - physically, emotionally and intellectually. They developed a complete system, the eight branches of Yoga, to create physical health, emotional balance and intellectual clarity.
Alongside this, we explore specific sections of the key yoga texts that explain why and exactly how we should do the practices, and what results we can expect, as well as looking at how to integrate Ayurvedic principles of lifestyle and diet into our daily life.
Everyone is different, so Yoga is not a ‘one size fits all’ system but must be tailored to the individual. It is vital to understand which techniques we should practice and why, how and when we should do so, if we are to get to experience the Heart of Yoga. So, if you would like to deepen your practice, to really understand what Yoga is and how to get the greatest benefit from it, then this course is for you.
how our course is structured
The course runs over five weekends, and will take place in the studio, but can also be attended online. On both Saturday and Sunday of each weekend, classes will start at 7:30am and finish at 1:30pm with an adequate break for breakfast built into this time. We have designed this course so that you start early and get the most out of each day, while still having plenty of time to yourself over the course of the weekend. The fact that the course is now both live in-studio and online means that it is much more accessible and even if you live far from Dublin, you can still partake. The e-book provides a detailed breakdown of timings for each weekend.
