Forms of Meditation in Hindu and Yoga Philosophy
Every other Monday starting Sept 21 2020, 5-6pm

*****Presented in collaboration with Women of South Asian Heritage Collective and Multi-Faith Centre*****

Event Description:
Aspects of Hindu philosophy are closely entwined with yoga traditions. In this session series, meditation (i.e. the concepts of dharana, dhyana, and samadhi) in spiritual traditions originating in India, are explored along with opportunities to experience gentle asana (movement/postures), pranayama (breath work), and mantra (chanting) in order to facilitate the meditative experience.  Each session will also focus on a particular aspect of the Yoga Sutra and/or Bhagavad Gita text and how this aspect connects to the experience of meditation.
