Samadhi (Dubai)
Yoga Wisdom to live with Freedom
Yoga Sutras - Asana - Pranayam - Meditation
We dive into learning Patanjali's Yoga Sutras - the foundational text on which all Yoga practice is based; exploring the essence of Yoga and the 8-limb path of Raja Yoga through a lecture-discussion.
But this is not merely theory, rather Embodied Wisdom - so your exploration includes a Classical Yoga & Pranayam masterclass.
And your experience finally integrates with a deep Meditation to Awaken the true essence of Ancient Wisdom in our daily life! (accompanied by live Handpan music by Rana Abihayla)
Ongoing learning after the workshop includes free online Content & 1:1 Coaching.
