This workshop continues the theme of ‘Svadhyaya’, the fourth of the Niyamas of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

The word Svadhyaya translates to ‘self-study’.

In this workshop, we’ll take a look at different ideas about the the nature of the ‘Self’, a topic which has been fiercely and endlessly debated over thousands of years.

This kind of self-study tries to get to the root of who and what we are (if, in fact, we are anything at all).

We’ll explore different (often conflicting) ideas about ‘the Self’, including the eternal ‘Atman’, in contrast with the Buddhist belief of ‘no-self’ (anatta).
