How do can we more deeply understand & honor yoga’s roots without misrepresenting it’s legacy?
How can we engage in the beautiful, timeless practice of yoga now, in our modern life, while also paying respect & understanding the sources from which it came from?
How can we express our own, contemporary unique yoga voice without misusing or abusing yoga’s roots?
How do we, as Westerners in the 21st century, engage in a practice that has ancient roots in a place & culture seemingly very different than our own?
Who’s history is yoga history?
In this workshop we will explore all these questions and more in order to gain a deeper awareness & respect for yoga’s rich past and exciting future... and to empower our yoga practice and/or teaching.
⁃ Learn how to engage in your yoga practice more consciously
⁃ Tap into the deep roots of yoga in ways that will empower your life
⁃ Understand the difference between cultural appreciation vs cultural
appropriation
⁃ Explore some of the power dynamics found within yoga in the West in
order to empower yourself, your practice AND honor & respect yoga’s origins ⁃ Bring yoga powerfully and relevantly into the future with more possibility, awareness, and sensitivity
This is a necessary workshop for dedicated yoga students, yoga teachers, and seekers passionate about yoga & Eastern wisdom.
Senior yoga teacher Daniel Damodar Cordua has studied yoga - especially yoga lifestyle, culture & philosophy - for over 15 years and has traveled extensively to the sacred sites of yoga in India and worldwide. He brings a contemporary awareness to a deep respect for the ancient lineages of the yoga system and bridges both in enlivening and relevant ways.
