The three gunas—sattwa (clarity, awareness), rajas (energy, activity) and tamas (inertia, solidity )—are the powers of nature that shape our human experience. All three are necessary and helpful at certain times. When they are correctly balanced, they enable us to rest well, move freely, think clearly, and live happily and peacefully. But when too much of one guna predominates at the wrong time, we can swing between feeling anxious/restless and depressed/lethargic in our daily lives.
In this 3 part online workshop you will:
- Become alert to the affect of the gunas on your own mental and physical well-being
- Be guided to experience how specific asana, pranayama, mantra and meditations can help you to move away from tamas, through rajas and into sattwa.
- Become confident in your understanding of how yoga can be tailored to balance the gunas
- Discover how the effect of the gunas differs depending on a person’s ayurvedic dosha balance and which particular ayurvedic therapies can help bring both the doshas and gunas back into balance
- Find out how the 3 gunas fit into the practice and philosophy of yoga, including looking at what different scriptures says about the effects of the gunas on our thoughts and actions
- Explore what Krishna means in the Bhagavad Gita when he tells Arjuna that he must go beyond the three gunas
- Plenty of time for questions and answers
It is ideal for anyone who has some experience of hatha yoga and wants to delve deeper into yoga philosophy in a practical, experiential way.
