NOW: Samadhi Pada Yoga Immersion, led by Olga Serrano García
Philosophical Workshop – A practical approach to giving meaning to the practice and broadening and deepening one’s understanding of yoga
Based on the book Samadhi Pada. The Book of the Contemplative State by Olga Serrano García
A practical philosophical yoga workshop.
An in-depth exploration of the Samadhi Pada, the first book of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
In the first book of the Yoga Sutras, the Samadhi Pada, three main questions are set out and explored:
What is yoga? A state of calmness of mind.
What is the mind? Movement.
How can something (the mind) that is defined by its movement be stilled? An introduction to the yoga method.
In this intensive workshop, we will use illustrations, diagrams and practical exercises to help us understand and put into practice all the practical wisdom contained in this first book.
The aim of this immersion is to give meaning to the practice you are already undertaking, and to deepen and broaden your understanding of yoga and the scope of the practice.
It is aimed at people who are interested in deepening their practice, finding meaning in it and applying it to their daily lives, beyond the yoga mat.
The Samadhi Pada is a useful and valuable book that sheds a great deal of light on the process.
It is both theoretical and practical.
The practices are suitable for everyone, regardless of physical or mental ability.
