Advanced Philosophy & Contemplative Practices with Europa Grace

30 HOURS (24 IN CLASS + 6 INDEPENDENT)

This module focuses on the liberatory study of yoga philosophy, Buddhism, Samkhya Philosophy and Tantra. This training is centered on developing a deeper understanding and integration of yoga into daily life including the importance of sadhana (daily practice). The central texts studied in this course are Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, which includes the Eight Limbs of Yoga (Ashtanga), the Bhagavad Gita, and the Radiance Sutras (Vijnana Bhairava Tantra).

This course on Advanced Philosophy & Contemplative Practices is a deep investigation of the original purpose of yoga philosophy as a framework for a way of life, unpacking the teachings of ethics and social action. We will develop and embody the concepts of discipline and intention as they relate to our yoga practice and how we engage with the world. There will be one day of deep meditation and contemplation practice, in complete silence.

The course includes reading, journaling, discussion, practice teaching, meditation practice, and short writing assignments.
