Yoga Sutra and western psychology
Yoga Sutra and western psychology have many similarities concerning the way they consider the mind. Particularly in the desire to understand how and why our feelings, thoughts and behaviour affect our everyday life. Also both look to alleviate suffering through change.
Many yoga concepts such as obstacles (antaraya), suffering and its source (duhkha and klesha), underlying tendencies and habits (vasana and samskara) have equivalent concepts in modern western psychology, especially in the branches which follow the advances made in neurological sciences. Research has shown that the capacity to be attentive is closely linked to calmness and balance in an individual.
Developing a meditative state of mind is a primary objective in yoga practice, through body, breath and close observation of what goes on inside us. Where does this lead us ? What does western psychology propose ?
During the course, through lectures and workshops, we will share with you our vision of yoga and western psychology as complimentary fields, pointing out however the differences between the two and where we should be carefull in handling them jointly. Yoga practices, including some chanting, will also be part of the course, with plenty of time for questions.
