Yoga: Working with the Whole Person with Cynthia Bates

Q: How should we treat other people?
A: There are no others
-Ramana Maharshi

In modern culture we sometimes pretend that yoga is just a physical practice; that the yoga postures are simply working on the muscular-skeletal system. But the truth that emerges through dedicated practice of yoga asana is that there is really no separation between the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual sheaths of being human. The power of the yoga asana is that we can work from a less threatening place, my knee, my back, my neck to effect much deeper levels of the psyche and create lasting positive change for ourselves and others. Join Cynthia for an experiment and experience in learning how to see and understand others as a method for knowing our self.
