Simon Low- The Way of the Warrior
In this workshop we will be exploring the sacred path of the warrior in yoga, Indian mythology, eastern and western traditions, while we see how we can apply these teachings in our life on and off the yoga mat. The warrior has been a sacred teacher for humanity for thousands of years and features in some of the most important texts and teachings in yoga, Buddhism and many other eastern and western traditions. Today, especially, the warrior symbolizes each one of us on our personal path of growth in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual realms. Classes will include Yin & Yang Yoga, philosophy, pranayama, meditation, yoga nidra, poetry and Sanskrit chant. This workshop is open to students of all levels of experience & all styles of yoga and is recommended as a two day workshop. If you can only attend one day, it is recommended that you attend the Saturday workshop. The workshop is not suitable for absolute beginners.
