Week Three - Yoga as Social Practice

This notes for this week are available for download in the website archives by clicking here.  As far as readings are concerned we will read only from the text this week, though any additional research you want to do on your own regarding the Yamas and Niyamas is welcome.  Please re-read Chapter 2 of the Yoga Sutras, Sadhana Pada - The Practice of Yoga.  This time giving special attention to Sutras 30-45.  Please also look at Chp. 2, Sutra 1 on Kriya Yoga.  

In lieu of a second reading, you have a small assignment to complete from now until Sunday:  choose anyone of the yamas you like, and attempt to follow it to the best of your ability until we meet; if not off your mat, then perhaps at least in your Yoga practice, setting it as the intention over the next couple of days.  Come prepared to discuss that experience (or non-experience..;).

As always have a look at the discussion questions in advance and give some thought to those.  As you may have noticed our chats tend to flow from those discussion points.  Email me with any questions or concerns.
