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 Reader, I don’t think of yoga as a commerce-driven wellness industry. I think of yoga as a movement driven by spiritual imagination. A movement that proclaims the possibility of a different reality. The thing fascinated me about yoga when I first heard about it was the idea that it was a way to expand your consciousness and experience reality on a higher level. And yeah, I did a lot of tripping as a teenager. But that came later. The idea that I could expand my consciousness was...
Greetings Reader, Huntsville, Alabama is famous for being the place where the rockets that shot the first American astronauts into space were built. Unfortunately, the rocket scientist who built them, Wernher von Braun, was a Nazi war criminal. But, thanks to him, the United States won the space race and Huntsville went from being a backwater garrison town to "Rocket City." In recognition of von Braun’s central role in making Huntsville a literal boom town, the city’s municipal leadership...
Greetings Reader, Back in 1990-something, I was working for a digital video systems manufacturer. My job was to demonstrate their products at trade shows and to train end-users how to operate them. There was a lot of travel involved: to the company’s headquarters in Silicon Valley, to trade shows in Las Vegas and Amsterdam, and to cities large and small whenever a local broadcaster purchased a motion graphics system or title effects generator. On one occasion, the head of marketing told me I...
