Curriculum:
Philosophy on the Road

What you’ll learn

  • What makes this Nepal TTC unique is the ‘Philosophy on the Road’ module where you study yoga philosophy in situ; on location in Nepal.
  • Nepal is an ancient land of living tantra. We’ll spend five days on the road to visit sacred sites of Boudhanath, Pashupati and Patan.
  • You will feel supported in your practice by monks, priests, sadhus, and visit sacred sites where ancient yogi c traditions are still alive
  • Understand basic yoga philosophy in a way you can integrate it into your teachings and personal practice.
  • Hindu, Buddhist and contemporary yogic philosophy are taught in a way that lifts it ‘off the page’ and ‘off the mat’.
  • Integrate ancient wisdom traditions with contemporary psychology into a mindful practice.
  • Have an overview of ancient yoga thought and the roots of modern postural yoga.
  • Discuss current ideas in contemporary yoga like Neo-liberalism, Cultural Appropriation, Post-Colonialism and Gender Issues in Yoga.
  • Yoga philosophy is more than an academic lesson; it’s a yogic inquiry relevant to real life.
  • We aim to reveal the spiritual path underlying the practice so you can glimpse your true nature – Purusha (pure consciousness).
  • Begin a genuine spiritual practice.
