Exploring the Body of Bliss: Sunday 12pm – 2:30pm
Drop into the body of bliss! Taking as our starting point the euphoric experiences common to us as yogis, we will look at how these experiences can also be understood in terms of neurophysiological changes which affect your emotions. Topics covered will include how yoga practices can alter your biochemistry and how science can enhance your understanding of samskara and karma, and your sense of open-hearted connectedness. We will conclude with a short, but juicy, asana practice to ground and integrate the insights of the body of bliss.
