Book Club Discussion Questions

Our Yoga Book Club is meeting Sunday, March 9th at 7:00PM. The book under discussion is Yoga and the Quest for the True Self by Stephen Cope.

Discussion Questions:

1. On page 109 the author talks about "the relief of being ordinary." What does he mean by this? Have you experienced this feeling?

2. On page 149 the author introduces the concepts of "the community as a guru," "safe space v. regular society," and "people who lend us their center." Why are these things desirable or necessary for someone choosing the transformational path of yoga?

3. Chapter 14 is about listening to the voice of the body. Do you believe we hold trauma or other experiences in our physical bodies. Have you had a personal experience with a samskara?

4. On page 278 the author talks about optimal disillusionment. What do you think of this concept?

Flying Workshop Photos

Thanks to everyone who turned out for the Partner Yoga workshops over this past weekend. Clayton and I had a great time teaching. It was nice to see so many happy faces as people helped each other into good stretches and worked together on the mat.

Here are a couple of pictures from our Flying Yoga workshop...visit our gallery page to see all the photos we took of the brave yogis who lifted each other into the air!
