The History and Traditions of Yoga - Delivered by Brendon Sakey

Join us for a journey back in time, where the origins of yoga, its ancient traditions, philosophy and spirituality are explored. This journey through history will include touching on the Holy Vedas, the Upanishads, Patanjali, Tantra and Hatha Yoga perspectives as well as looking at the many forms yoga takes today. We'll look at some of the famous lineages of yoga that have inspired many great teachers and yogis globally. Through understanding the depth of the vast history and traditions of yoga we can deepen our own yoga practice and intention to recognise and experience yoga’s true potential- which is to raise consciousness and uplift humanity!
