Fundamentals of Yoga Philosophy course
|
Hi Reader, I typed the phrase "fundamentals of yoga philosophy" into the Google search bar. An AI Overview popped up. The first sentence was, "Yoga philosophy is based on the idea that the mind, body, and spirit are one and inseparable." This isn't just wrong; it's the exact opposite of yoga philosophy's first and most fundamental teaching: the categorical distinction between the spiritual self and the material mind and body. Google's confused simulacrum of intelligence also didn't have much to offer about the relationship between the ancient wisdom of yoga and life in the here and now. Which is the whole point of my course: to give you information about how yoga philosophy expands our view of reality and to illustrate the many ways that we can use this information to make a meaningful difference—in our lives and in the lives of others. Yoga enthusiasts, and especially yoga teachers, want to know how yoga philosophy can help us move through the world from a position of stability, strength, awareness, compassion, and hope for the future—our future and the future of our planet. Which is why I'm offering this course: FUNDAMENTALS OF YOGA PHILOSOPHY Essential Elements of Spiritual Knowledge Live via Zoom on starting this Sunday February 9, 16, and 23 @ 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST All live sessions will be recorded and available for replay Tuition for all 3 sessions: $97

Greetings Reader - There must be something wrong with me. I just looked at a list of the top 50 happiest songs of all time . . . according to science. Yes, researchers have developed a way to analyze how elements of music—tempo, key, composition, lyrics, etc.—come together to produce songs that are scientifically guaranteed to induce the emotional response we call “happiness.” My response when I look at this list? Ugh. Pop songs, Rock songs, Dance, R&B, it doesn’t matter: Each category has...
Greetings Reader - Back in the thrilling days of yesteryear, I was a marketing consultant for a company that made 3-D graphics systems for creating virtual sets, the likes of which are now a regular feature of live TV. The company was based in France and I was hired to help the company make inroads into the U.S. market. The gig only lasted a year, but that was long enough for me to score a free trip to L'Hexagone. They flew me in for a meeting at their corporate offices in Paris to make plans...
Greetings Reader - Yesterday was an exceptionally beautiful day here in Washington, D.C.: mild temperatures, bright sunshine, balmy breezes—it was a perfect day for . . . a bake sale. When we arrived at our No Kings Day “visibility” spot on Connecticut Avenue, we were greeted by a group of kids excitedly promoting their bake sale to raise money for their local public school. And they were cleverly leveraging the fact that it was No Kings Day with their enthusiastic chants to draw attention to...
