New Workshop: Beyond Belief
|
Hi Reader, I'm writing to let you know about my next live online workshop: Beyond Belief: Yoga Wisdom for Discerning Truth from Falsehood TUITION: $27 The workshop will be recorded — a replay link will be emailed to all registrants. Yoga teachers can receive 1.5 hours of continuing education credit with Yoga Alliance. We have access to more information than ever before—and more exposure to sophisticated attempts to manipulate our beliefs and behavior. So how do we tell the difference between something that’s actually true and something that merely sounds true? Or feels true? How do we test evidence to find out if it's really impartial or being selectively presented? How do we step back far enough from our own biases to keep them from pushing us toward we’re inclined to believe? Is it possible? Yoga has a surprisingly practical framework for answering these questions. Yoga philosophy asks us to examine not only what we believe, but how we know what we think we know, and gives us a system for testing what we think we know to see if it's worthy of our belief. In this workshop, we’ll bring these teachings into the modern information environment and explore:
For yoga teachers, we’ll also consider how these principles can help us present yoga philosophy in a way that invites students to think more analytically about what shows up on their media feeds. The goal isn’t to become cynical or suspicious of everything we hear. It’s to develop a more refined capacity for recognizing what deserves our trust—both in the media and in our own minds. In a world where convincing falsehoods are increasingly easy to manufacture, discernment is a spiritual practice. I hope you'll join me for Beyond Belief: Yoga Wisdom for Discerning Truth from Falsehood TUITION: $27 1.5 Yoga Alliance CE hours available If you have any questions about this workshop, just reply to this email! Hoping you're well in all respects, Hari-k |

Greetings from Madrid, Reader, Galavanting around Spain for the past few weeks has been quite an adventure. And, as one would hope, I’ve learned to speak a little Spanish. Okay, very little. As in, just enough to be a polite American tourist who obviously doesn’t speak Spanish. ¡Hola! ¿Vegetariano? La cuenta, por favor. Gracias. Adiós. See? ¡Sí! But the most significant word I learned is tranqui. It’s short for tranquilo, which means calm or peaceful, like the English word “tranquil.” Tranqui...
Greetings from Montserrat, Reader, Imagine what the Temple of Apollo at Delphi would have looked like if it had been designed by Dr. Seuss. That’s a fair description of Parc Güell, a festive 42-acre garden complex draped across the southern slope of Mount Carmel on the northern edge of Barcelona. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, whose Modernist architectural imprint is practically synonymous with the capital of Catalonia, Parc Güell’s undulating architectural forms are rich in symbolism, its native...
Greetings from Tarragona, Reader, I’m sitting a stone’s throw or two from the Mediterranean Sea after spending most of my first week in Spain doing a museum-a-thon in Madrid. If you like art, you’ll love Madrid. I’m not usually a big Picasso fan, but his Harlequin with a Mirror has a wonderfully trippy quality that gets lost in reproduction and Guernica up close is as epic as they say it is. Spending time in front of Bosch’s famous triptych, TheGarden of Earthly Delights, was another...
