YOGA TO HEAL: Living life from the centre – Oslo, Norway

Welcome to a yoga workshop in Oslo – Norway

Dates: 5 – 7 March 2010

This is a workshop about finding your heart, and learning to listen to it.

This two and a half day workshop will comprise both lectures and practical sessions:

The lectures will bring you deeper theoretical knowledge of yoga supported by precise references to fundamental yogic texts, including the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

The practical sessions will involve a variety of yogic techniques like postures (asana), breathing exercises (pranayama), meditation, and self-examination (svadyaya). They will allow you to understand your own personal situation, and enable you to experience life from the centre.

The following topics will be covered during the workshop:

- Defining suffering

- Self-examination: Truly happy, or on standby?

- Identifying the symptoms and causes of our suffering – the klesas, in Sanskrit

- Life on the other side: Building lasting happiness
