Yoga: What You Don’t Learn on the Mat

Yoga: what you don’t learn on the mat

Have you ever thought about whether there is actually a reason behind it when your yoga teacher requests you to fold up into a pretzel-like position? Wondered why people claim yoga is mindful and enlightening whilst sweating like crazy during a vinyasa flow session?

In this class you’ll learn that yoga is actually made up out of 8 parts, the so-called limbs, of which the physical practice (or asana) is only one part. We’ll talk about how the modern form of yoga you can practice at almost every New York gym developed, about its ancient origins in Eastern philosophy, and what yoga actually does to your mind and body.
