Holistic Yoga – Philosophy and Practice

YOG1000 – Holistic Yoga - Philosophy and Practice course provides an introduction to holistic yoga, that integrates yoga philosophy from classical scriptural texts and sustained yoga practice. In this course, we will explore the practices of yoga, such as asana (postures) and pranayama (breathing practices), along with the concept of the four streams of Yoga — Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga — through the teachings of the primary texts the Bhagavad Gita and Patanjali Yoga Sutras. The integrated approach to yoga is more than just a physical practice. It is a philosophy-based approach to viewing oneself and the rest of the world with a paradigm-shift. Holistic Ashtanga Yoga is an eight-limbed approach to yoga that synthesizes the traditional knowledge of yogic and vedantic texts, such as Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Bhagavad Gita, and other yogic and upanishadic texts, as a rich and comprehensive set of practices.
