Yoga philosophy
from the Buddhist perspective
One-year study program
This program is for anyone who wants to walk the path of Yoga and Buddhism together
Yoga Philosophy from the Buddhist Perspective introduces you to the world view that is the foundation and driving force behind Buddhist practices such as Loving kindness, compassion and mindfulness meditations, aligned with the wisdom that recognizes the transient nature of all phenomena. These qualities of wisdom and compassion are embodied on the Buddhist path to offer a greater scope of practice. They are also innate human qualities that can be practiced by everyone and enable us to live in the world with dignity and purpose.
Through a blend of textual study, meditation and discussion, you will gain an understanding of Buddhist philosophy and how its practical application may complement and enrich your yogic path. Learn more about Ashtanga Yoga and Buddhism here: (Watch Now)
