Satsang
The course satsang consists of half an hour silent meditation,
half an hour chanting and a talk or reading on aspects of yoga
philosophy. It will help you to develop a strong and steady
meditation practice and show you the way to peace and happiness.
Asana and Pranayama Class
The morning asana class (8am) gives you the opportunity to
practice your own asanas and will help to build the good habit
of daily asana practice. The afternoon class (4pm) is devoted to
teaching you how to teach asanas and pranayama.
Bhagavad Gita
Considered one of the greatest spiritual texts of the world, the
Bhagavad Gita contains subtle and profound teachings and has a
universality which embraces every aspect of human actions. It
symbolises the solution of the eternal struggle between the
spiritual and the material in every human being.
Main Lecture
The main lecture will present the philosophical and practical
backbone of the study of yoga. See the next page for subjects
studied. This class requires homework; a summary of each lecture
is handed in on the following day.

chanting, you develop a strong feeling of devotion and a very
pure vibration. In devotional chanting correct pronunciation,
devotional attitude and awareness of meaning are all-important.
