Yogamytologi och Filosofi: Öppen för alla

Yoga Mythology and Philosophy
The mythology that often is the platform for stories within the yogic tradition comes from Hinduism. For instance the story of Hanuman, the loving and unselfish monkey god that helps his master Rama to save his beloved Sita when she has been abducted to Sri Lanka.

 The hindu mythology also describes the story of Vashista, the son of Brahman, when he fights with king Vishwamitra over who will be the master of Nandini, the cow that gives it’s owner all he or she wishes for. 

All the stories from the hindu mythology have in common that they are trying to teach us something about ourselves and the world that we live in. To learn more about the most classical myths from the yogic tradition gives a new dimension both for the practicing yogi and, if you are a yoga teacher, for the teaching of yoga to others.

 To dive into this part of understanding yoga is a fun way of creating a stronger relationship to the thousands of years old yogic philosophy and to all of the people who have lived it and taught it throughout the history.

 After the course you will have a greater understanding for the origin of yoga, the history and how the tradition has developed. With more knowledge about both the myths and the characters in hindu and yogic tradition the interpretation of important texts such as for instance Bhagavad Gita becomes more accessible.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
The course is for yoga teachers as well as yogis who are interested in developing their knowledge and understanding of the more philosophical aspects of yoga. No previous knowledge is needed.

The course will be taught in English.


OBS! This course is a mandatory course for yogis that are aiming for the yogayama 500 hour certification according to Yoga Alliance.
