YOGA PHILOSOPHY
Yoga is an ancient tradition developed in India several thousand years ago. Among other things, yoga was developed to make us less egocentric and reduce suffering in our lives and the lives of others. If you don't understand the negative patterns that fuel the ego and create suffering, then these patterns will creep into your everyday life. In order to recognize and properly understand the depth and richness of Yoga philosophy, understanding Yoga philosophy is an important key to unlocking Yoga's great potential. We will reflect and discuss the most essential Indian concepts.
