The two popular traditions of Yoga and Vedānta share similar concepts and practices. They consider related texts, but bring forth different meanings.
In this one-day workshop, some selected verses from the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali will be taught in the light of non-dual Advaita Vedanta in a clear and insightful way by Neema Majmudar, disciple of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Arsha Vidya.
This session can lead to a unique perspective of knowledge about one’s subject for every yoga student and yoga teacher.
