Sat. 12th May `Cleansing the doors of perception` - Meditation & the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Workshop with Michael Mc Cann

The Yoga Sutras are intended to cleanse so that we can `see things as they are` and `know who we are`. This is Raja Yoga. The mastery of asana is a vital preparation but the Sutras invite us to continue with the journey of self - discovery.

We just need to learn how to read the map and to let go of the things that prevent us from accessing our inner wisdom: the treasure we often seek outside but lies within.

The workshop will look at some key concepts of the Yoga Sutras and how they add meaning and direction to our meditation practice and indeed our human predicament. There will be some classical Yoga meditations and learn how to develop a simple but effective daily practice of authenticity and true `be - ing`.
