Yoga Beyond the Mat: Understanding Your Mind Through Yoga Philosophy
About this Event
A primary cause of overthinking, emotional reactivity, and internal tension is an inability to effectively relate to our own minds.
Join us for a Tea Night to explore the deeper side of yoga and discover how its philosophy can gently shift the way you think, feel, and move through your life. Much of our overthinking, emotional reactivity, and inner tension comes from not knowing how to relate to our own minds with clarity and care.
Together, we’ll explore the foundations of yoga philosophy as a practical and accessible framework for understanding your inner experience, something you can reflect on, feel, and begin to integrate into your everyday life. Through key concepts from Sāṃkhya and the Yoga Sutras, you’ll be introduced to a different way of relating to your thoughts, emotions, and inner patterns.
This class is designed to be enjoyed more than once. Each gathering offers fresh perspectives, enriching discussions, and the chance to connect with a community united by a shared interest in yoga, self-discovery, and growth mindset.
In this class, you will:
• Understand why the mind feels restless
• Learn the difference between awareness and thought
• Explore how identification with the mind creates suffering
• Be introduced to the Eight Limbs of Yoga as a practical system for inner clarity • Experience simple exercises to observe and work with your mind
This session is ideal for anyone interested in going beyond the physical practice of yoga and developing a deeper understanding of the mind.
