It makes me so happy to invite you to join me on a unique and heartfelt journey into the ancient teachings of yoga philosophy in this year-long course.
Experience yoga in its fullest sense through āsana, prāṇāyāma, meditation, mantra recitation, chanting, self-study, reading of sacred texts and discussions.
You'll journey deeper into yourself, your yoga and your spiritual practice.
This course is spread out over a whole year to give you the time to digest, contemplate and integrate the teachings into daily life.
This is an online course via Zoom, with replays recordings available for all.
The course is suitable for inquisitive practitioners of yoga and also yoga teachers desiring philosophy-based yoga CPD.
Yoga's origins can be traced to southeast Asia over 5,000 years ago. The word yoga was first mentioned in an ancient sacred text called the Rig Veda. The teachings of yoga evolved further in many great works such as the Bhagavad Gita, The Yoga Sutra, the Amṛtasiddhi and the Tantric texts of the Tantra Śāstra.
We go back to these source texts and contemplate the teachings in their most authentic form whilst considering how their wisdom can guide a modern yogi's path.
The transformative power of words and sound is universal. Just as in Christianity, the New Testament proposes that "In the beginning was the Word" the Vedic texts of yoga teach that the world began in the vibrations of Oṁ.
Learn more about the sacred mantras of yoga, the essence of primal sound, and how to use mantras as a tool for transformation and self-mastery.
Be inspired by the different deities, the balance of Shiva and Śakti and how to work with the energies of the deities in a way that respects their sacred lineage.
What is philosophy if its meaning is not felt?
The teachings of yoga cannot be understood from reading alone; just a chocolate cake cannot be tasted by reading a recipe.
Feel into your body, your inner wisdom and explore the teachings of yoga through movement and yoga āsana.
Experience your āsanas in a new way with knowledge of the mythology behind them.
Looking for the meaning of life and considering how to make the most of own precious life has been part of the human psyche throughout the ages.
In yoga, this is called svādhyāya, study of self. To explore our individual truth and understand the universal truth of pure consciousness is a path to enlightenment.
In our individual truth, we find our dharma, the authentic life path that is ours to walk and the seeds of our karma which are ours to cleanse.
'Practice and all is coming' is one of the key teachings of yoga master Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
Sādhanā is a personal practice or ritual to start your day which cultivates the loving discipline to walk your personal spiritual path.
Learn how to create your own sādhanā which supports you more fully in living your yoga and following your dharma.
An important part of this journey is the community that travels with you.
A satsaṅga is a gathering of a group to engage in discussion and share wisdom with a commitment to explore truth, teachings, spiritual insight and growth.
Together our perspectives and understandings are broadened. Lean into the power of community.
An optional what's app group will continue the discussions outside of our sessions.

I'm Laura and I'll be your guide for this 12-month course. I say guide as really it is the philosophies and the texts that are the teacher brought to life through your own inner reflections and our discussions.
I've been practising yoga for 24 years and teaching for 14 years. I am a Senior Yoga Teacher, an Author and a Teacher Trainer. Yoga has not only changed my life but completely shaped it! It has brought me courage, joy, compassion, it has opened my heart and made me brave, and soothed my soul.
Yoga philosophy has taught me more about how I wish to live my life than any yoga āsana ever has. Yoga is everything to me and I want to share more of its teachings with you. Your life can be of your making. Let yoga show you how!
Enrolling in a year-long course is an investment in your own life journey.
Invest your time, focus & energy. Commit to the work, commit to the path and change your life through yoga.
