You can book one session or the whole weekend! Find all the details at merchantcityyoga.comHave you ever thought how it would be helpful to have a user’s guide on how to be fully human?
With the Bhagavad Gītā, the yoga tradition offers us a robust and time-proven manual for life.
Highly pragmatic, the Gītā’s timeless teachings show us how to work with the reality of our nature so we can recover ourselves and become fully human. The Gītā describes the broad, inclusive path of yoga, working with all parts of ourselves to cultivate vibrant and deepening harmony right here in the thick of life.
What does the Gītā have to do with me and my life?
Often misunderstood and misrepresented through translations that convey only a fraction of the inclusive practicality of the original Sanskṛt, the Gītā is really about each of us, and gives us a manual for being human.
The setting of the Gītā on the battlefield can at first glance seem archaic or strange, but as we look more closely we can see that the battlefield is really our own psyche. The warriors, sages, goddesses and kings are really different parts of ourselves, parts that often through a human upbringing become estranged and discordant, yet which always have the possibility of coming together in a magnificent harmony. The Gītā shows us the practical path of yoga, to reclaim our sovereignty and access more of our real, human intelligence.
What can I expect over this weekend?
- When interpreting the text, James works direct from the original Sanskrit and always makes it very relatable, inviting you into the rich layers and flavour of the original;
