atha tattva-darśanābhyupāyo yogaḥ -
Yoga is the direct means to perceive reality
an ancient tradition to make sense of a modern world
Yoga philosophy provides so much grounding and guidance in both the small and big questions of our everyday lives.
I am passionate about sharing the wisdom of the yogic teachings in an accessible, modern and practical way.
My Philosophy Offerings:
Philosophy Club
I believe yoga philosophy should be as accessible as physical āsana classes. That’s why I hold a monthly Philosophy Club in person at Merchant City Yoga where we meet to discuss and explore themes of yoga philosophy in a down to earth way. Learn more below.
The next meeting of Philo Club will be Sunday 10th November, 3-4.30pm.
Courses
I offer regular weekend courses which give space for a deeper dive into the central texts of yoga philosophy. To find out about upcoming courses, sign up to my newsletter.
Teacher Trainings
I have been teaching yoga philosophy on teacher trainings since 2021. If you’re looking for modern, rigorously researched, human explorations of yoga philosophy for modern practitioners and teachers, get in touch if you’d like to learn more about what I can offer your course.
Online Study
Coming in 2024 - both on-demand online yoga philosophy courses, as well as regular online live sessions for chat, discussion and exploration of yoga texts and the themes they present.
In the meantime, be sure to check out my short and sweet youtube videos demystifying common themes and questions of yoga philosophy.
Philosophy Club
A rich, modern, informal space to explore yoga philosophy in a way that is practical, heart driven and community led.
So often the only way to learn about yoga philosophy is in dry academic books, expensive courses or as part of a full yoga teacher training. In philosophy club we approach the yoga teachings as a pragmatic, human and grounded system of practice that helps us to live better here and now.
The sessions take the form of group discussion on the topic of the day. No prior reading is required as handouts will be provided and we'll explore the material together by questioning, unpacking, discussing and sharing - what we feel, what we wonder, what makes sense and what doesn’t.
Once a month, in person, at Merchant City Yoga.
