Bhagavad Gita, The Intersection of Body, Mind and Heart
with Carrie Adams
2 Workshops, 8 hours total
July 1 & 15
Sundays 2:30 – 6:30 p.m.
Bhagavad Gita, the Song of the Blessed One, is an indispensable text for the practice of yoga. Its lyrical words have withstood the test of time and imparted wisdom and inspiration for centuries.
In this series we will enter the conversation of the text and engage with the dialogue of the Gita via a multi-faceted approach. My intention is not to study not from the viewpoint of lecture, but rather, through reading, reflection, writing and asana, to begin a collaborative conversation that stems from the text itself. One that deepens our understanding of how these eternal teachings apply to our everyday lives.
In order to facilitate our conversation, participation in both sessions is a requirement. The text will be, Bhagavad Gita: a New Translation, by Stephen Mitchell. Three Rivers Press, 2000.
For Registered Yoga Teachers:
This class is approved for 3 Continuing Education Units for Yoga Alliance. If you would like to receive a certificate of completion, please mention it when you register.
