Patañjali's Recipe for Success - Kriyā Yoga

About this event

Patañjali's Recipe for Success - Kriyā Yoga In this series, we will delve into the last three of Patañjali's Niyamas(personal observances) – Tapas(discipline), Svādhyāya(self-study), and Īśvara Praṇidhāna(connection to something greater). These three elements comprise what Patañjali refered to as Kriyā Yoga. Centuries later, this method remains useful for guiding us in successful living. Over the course of three sessions, participants will learn about how Kriyā yoga can be applied to and enrich our lives, the challenging parts as well as the more mundane. The topic will be introduced with a brief lecture. Then we will engage in a gentle Asana and meditation practice to integrate the academics. There will also be time for conversational reflection. Sessions on Tuesdays 6 - 7pm in the Nest 1st session – Tapas Nov 3 2nd session - Svādhyāya Nov 10 3rd session - Īśvara Praṇidhāna Nov 17 Please dress comfortably and feel free to bring a journal if you like taking notes. Presented by Liz Cobb: I am a student of yoga for over twenty years, becoming a teacher in 2019. My post-lineage offerings are rooted in the Mysore-style yoga presented to the world by Tirumalai Krishnamacharya mainly through the teachings of T.K.V. Desikachar. I share meditation as illuminated by the Himalayan Masters and Śrī Vidyā as instructed by my teacher Tracee Stanley. I also have formal Sanskrit education through the Dhar India Studies Program at Indiana University. Another inspiring embodiment modality that informs my teachings is Wu Xing (the Five Phases) qigong. I have deep respect and curiosity for all styles of practice. I strive to cultivate understanding of the eight limbs of yoga in all realms of my life.
