YOGA AND SELF AWARENESS (FR)
January 23 to April 2, 2016 (10 weeks)
This class’s focus is on the systematic observation and cultivation of self-awareness. Attention, the capacity to remain present with the self, is key throughout the process. Through sustained attention, the yoga practitioner maintains a focus in the here and now, allowing him or her to fully experience the posture at physical, emotional and cognitive levels.
Observation and self-awareness are foundational for the process, in which eventually the practitioner is lead to a deeper understanding of his or her existential nature and ultimately to awaken to his or her profound level of being.
The practice contains the following aspects:
- Create a center space within which to observe what is happening within during the postures.
- Develop a capacity to be attentive to what is being experienced physically, emotionally and mentally (mental activity).
- Welcome what is being observed, from one’s own standpoint, in order to have a better understanding of the self.
- Integrate the new understandings.
- Avoid judgment, analysis, criticism or condemnation of what is being observed.
- Bring yoga to daily life. From an observation of the self in a posture to an observation of the self in daily posture, such as driving, housecleaning, walking, etc.
