Wisdom Body

Description

In the Indo-European languages, the words for "breath" often also denote "spirit" or "psyche". In the sacred scriptures of Hinduism, the breath is an external aspect, a form of manifestation of prana , the universal life force that interpenetrates and sustains all life. To the yogin, the breath is a constant reminder of the truth that we are identical with the great Life of the cosmos. At the center of this course lies the academic, meditative-reflective and experiential exploration of the breath and the experience of breathing. The ability to concentrate on the breath and to engage in breathing with full awareness is supported by and embedded in the practice of asanas (yoga postures) which open chest and back, tone the diaphragm and the abdomen and create greater flexibility in shoulders and upper spine. The practices of this course will increase the ability to develop and sustain the embodied awareness of different dimensions of experience. They will enliven the felt sense of presence and spontaneity, of flexibility and strength.
