Hanuman Festival 2016

Many of us have experienced how the storms of afflictive emotions can throttle us, derailing our hearts and minds. Left unchecked they can rob us of our vitality and clarity.  Yet they are also universal forces of our humanity and working with them skillfully is one of the most challenging yet essential practices in our lives. There are many approaches within the yoga tradition to working with powerful emotions. Some methods focus on creating peace through neutralizing their grip on us, while other methods approach them directly and, in the spirit of psychological alchemy, engage them as pathways into our essential nature. In this class we will first look historically at the different ways yoga has addressed emotions, then dive into these practices experientially.
