Exploring the Primary Principles of Sāṃkhya and its relationship to Yoga
– See the World through Spirit whilst Living within the Field of Nature
The first text that I was privileged to be able to study word by word, verse by verse along with the commentaries of Krishnamacharya and then Desikachar, within the intimacy and vitality of private lessons in Madras from 1979, was the Sāṃkhya Kārikā of Īśvara Kṛṣṇa.
Sāṃkhya is said to be a relative of Yoga. In fact, they are often paired together when presenting models around the six major schools of inquiry within the Indian tradition. – What is the basis for this relationship? These questions will form the base from which an exploration of the fundamental principles within Sāṃkhya and its links with Yoga and especially the Yoga Sūtra will be explored. |
Live Small Group Art of Sāṃkhya Philosophy Workshop Module One
The Art of Sāṃkhya Philosophy Module One Personal Sādhana Workshop is limited to a maximum of five students to allow for a personalised approach and in-depth transmission between teacher and student. It introduces the student to a weekend workshop on the primary principles and essential teachings from T Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar on Sāṃkhya Philosophy and how they can inspire and inform our personal Yoga Sādhana.
Based in the Cotswolds, it offers an opportunity for a student from any Yoga background or style to have an in-depth introduction to the study of Sāṃkhya. It offers teachings on the Sāṃkhya Kārikā, either for personal development or professional skills. The role of this Course is not to train students as Yoga teachers although the Sāṃkhya Philosophy Study Workshop will obviously enhance any Yoga teacher’s skills in the area of Yoga Teaching and Yoga as Therapeutic Healthcare.
