Arun’s Summer Studies
1 SUMMER • 4 MONTHS • 8 LECTURES • 8 PRACTICES • 7 GUESTS
Tools for maintaining our health through difficult times
The practices of yoga are designed for growth, discipline, protection, therapy, preparation for end of life and finally, for awakening.
In this summer (not so) intensive, we will address yoga for protection and therapy. We will look at how yoga is a tool for higher consciousness, while tantra teaches us how to understand the mechanics of our energy field and ayurveda helps the yogin to flesh out their healing path.
