While
much of the western focus on yoga is on the physical practices, the

Deliberate
Creation
You
have heard the phrase “we create our own reality” associated with New
Age philosophy, but it is a tenet of yoga, one of the oldest schools of
thought. We will explore a variety of questions, including:
- Do our thoughts, words and
actions shape our existence?
- If they do, how can we
deliberately use them to create that which we desire?
- What is the role of our
intentions?
- How do we keep from creating
things that we don't want?
- What are some practical
exercises for deliberate creation and manifesting?

Philosophy
The
physical movements and breathing techniques are just a part of the yogic
traditions. Often, yoga
practitioners will become more and more interested in the philosophy of
yoga as they go more deeply into their practices. Some of the topics
that we have planned for this section include:
- Is yoga a religion?
- Does yoga fit in with or
contradict other religions?
- What are the guidelines for
living that yoga teaches?
- How can these guidelines be
interpreted in modern life?
- What are the original
sources or texts that yoga comes from?
- Where can I learn more about
these resources?
