What are chakras and nadis? What is a kosha? Is prana the same thing as breathing? And why should you care? The subtle body described in yoga philosophy is a way of understanding how the body, mind and spirit work together to create wholeness. You can tap into subtle energies in the body and learn to move them and use them to connect clearly with yourself. The subtle energies can lead you to a sense of well-being and peace -- even bliss.

In this workshop, you will learn terminology and concepts related to the subtle energies in yoga philosophy. Teachings from various yogic texts will be integrated, as well as those from the lineage of Ma Jaya. You will also learn specific practices for connecting with the subtle energies, so you can work with them in your practice. Yoga practices will include asana series, pranayama and mudras, mantras and guided meditation.
