Samkhya: The yoga story of creation with Rene Quenell
July 14-16, In-Studio & Livestream
Friday, July 14, 6-8pm
Saturday, July 15, 2-6pm
Sunday, July 16, 2-6pm
This weekend we step into the science of being according to Samkhya philosophy – one of the single-most influential systems in the discovery of the soul. We will learn about the fascinating interplay of the elements and how they explain everything from the very first moments of the Universe to the intricate layers of our being. The categories of existence in this system give us a specific way of understanding the evolutionary process from the first moments of the Universe to the interworking of our individual minds. Called “nature’s foundation” it is here we find the basis for Ayurveda and yoga.
We will practice asana, pranayama, meditation and self-reflection as a way to understand the intriguing dance of the gunas, the koshas and the tattvas and how these principles shift and shape our lives.
This is the stem of yogic theory and psychotherapy and the science of understanding pure consciousness (spirit) and nature (mind and emotions). We promise you will get to know yourself in a whole new way and learn how to appreciate your mind as your best friend and access the inner teacher that is your unique voice of wisdom.
