  • TRA 453: Yoga History,Theory and Philosophy

    3.00 Credits
    Naropa University

    Yoga is one of the six classical "outlooks on the nature of being" ( Shat Darshana) of Hinduism. Yoga has a five-thousand-year history, its teachings passed from one generation to the next through a written and oral tradition. All of yoga aims at one thing: realization of the one's true self. This class surveys the fascinating history of yoga and explores the theories and philosophies underlying yoga's practices, from asana ( poses) to dhyana ( meditation), from tapas ( discipline) to santosha ( contentment). This class examines the main schools of yogic thought and reviews some of its most important texts, including the Vedas, Upanishads, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.

  • TRA 463/512: Yoga Meditation Practicum

    3.00 Credits
    Naropa University

    Meditation, though often neglected in modern-day yoga, has always been a central practice in the yogic traditions. Asana, pranayama and concentration are stepping stones, which provide a foundation from which meditation can effortlessly arise. We embark on a journey into the meditative traditions and practices of yoga. This includes the study and practice of concentration techniques ( dharana), formless meditation ( dhyana), dream and sleep yoga ( yoga nidra) and the philosophical premises behind these practices.
