The Simple Sutras with Navtej Johar at The Breathing ProjectFriday, May 9, from 3:30-5:00pm and 5:30-7:00pm
Navtej is an old friend of mine from the days we were both training with Desikachar. We are privileged to host some classes for him on the rare occasions when he passes through New York.
He is an amazing individual, and a gifted teacher who's work I can recommend without reservation. I urge you to join us for the two classes he's teaching here next Friday. I hope to see you then!
Workshop description:
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are extremely profound yet practical. They use the tangibles of the body, breath, and behavior with the aim to change the mind.
Join Navtej Johar, our special visiting teacher from New Delhi, India, as he explores the practicality of the Yoga Sutras in very simple terms and helps apply them to daily practice.- Part I: 3:30-5:00pm
Simple Philosophy: Navtej methodically delineates the philosophy without employing esoteric references, so you understand the Sutras in your own terms. - Part II: 5:30-7:00pm
Simple Practice: Navtej will introduce different methods of modulating the breath within asana practice, introducing elements such as kala (counting) & sankhya (sound) as added tools of mindfulness in pranayama. The session will culminate in a Yoga Sutras based breath-meditation involving the body, breath, mind, heart and--as Desikachar calls it--"something more".
About Navtej Johar:
A long time student and practitioner of yoga, Johar trained in Patanjali yoga at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, Chennai, under the guidance of Sri T.K.V . Desikachar.A yoga teacher since 1985, Johar's approach is fluid and adaptable as he freely merges asana, pranayama, visualization, mediation and Vedic chanting.
Cost: $25 each part or $40 for both
