Nuestro tercer encuentro de URBAN YOGA took place on Sunday, April 6.
At this third meeting, under pleasant, cloudy, and cool weather with the scent of earth and damp grass, the three activities comprising the event format were fully realized:
1. Talk on the Philosophy of Yoga in everyday life
The teacher Iskra Bohórquez He spoke of philosophical premises that are fundamental to understanding Yoga as a discipline for human self-development, or what some call Self-realization. The topic discussed was the four objectives of Human Life; these are premises common to all philosophical schools and traditions that view Yoga as a path to human self-development. In Sanskrit, these four objectives are called Purusharthas, and the ultimate goal is Moksha, the liberation of the spirit, which is also conceived by many as union with Divinity.
2. Yoga Sangraha for the community
Each person who repeats this practical Yoga class can immediately experience the positive effects from which this format was designed, which combines classical Yoga practices such as Kriyas, Pranayamas, Sun Salutations of different types and Asanas (postures) from various lineages and schools, with a contemporary approach that takes as reference both Indian tradition and modern science.
Yoga Sangraha It is a contemporary approach to traditional Hatha Yoga designed by internationally renowned yoga teacher Eddie SternThis class is led by the teacher Iskra together with the students of the school Ashtanga Yoga Maracay.
