Yoga Philosophy

A study of classical Indian philosophy through yoga philosophy and practice. Emphasis is on reading original texts (e.g., Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutra, etc.) in English translation accompanied by secondary source writings and lectures on key philosophical concepts such as karma and rebirth. To demonstrate the relation between yoga practice and philosophical ideas students will be instructed, to a limited degree, in the practice of mediation and yoga postures when possible.
