Offered in 4 sessions, this course will examine diet as a sacred and profoundly powerful practice for the yogi. Drawing from a variety of teachings, we will make explicit the connections between our thoughts/habits and the conditions of the world we create. Emphasizing vegetarianism and self inquiry (without judgment!), we will delve into the ethical tenets of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, consider the principles of integrative nutrition, cultivate a more intimate and nourishing relationship to what feeds us individually as well as a community, discover unique ways to put teachings into action, and focus on embodying peace in thought, word, and action. Through lecture, readings, discussions, meditations, chanting, asana, guest speakers, films, and shared meals (potluck), we will seek to deepen our understanding of yoga.
Readings will be provided as handouts, and may be sourced from the following books (which you may wish to purchase for your own collection): World Peace Diet by Will Tuttle, Yoga and Vegetarianism by Sharon Gannon, Nourishing Wisdom by Marc David, and Inside the Yoga Sutra by Rev. Jaganath Carrera.
