Yoga for Atmabodha Class
WORKSHOP
2017 ongoing class dates:
June 1 • July 6 • August 17 • September 21
6:00 pm-9:00 pm
Vedika Global, Emeryville, CA and Online via Webinar
* All 4 workshops can be paid together or one at a time.
At Vedika, we explore the ancient science of Yoga in all its fullness. Not only as a form of physical exercise, but also a systematic spiritual path, encompassing a comprehensive quest toward the highest states of consciousness.
Vedika lineage’s slow and spiritualized approach to Yoga is called Yoga for Atmabodha, which means “awakening to the truth of our spiritual nature.”
Vedika is proud to support a return to the way Yoga was practiced by the sages by teaching from our Vedic lineage. As explained by our founder, Acharya Shunya:
“Yoga practice should not only exercise your muscles and limbs but should also infuse your body with rejuvenating prana shakti and connect you with your higher Self, which is the source of spiritual power, abiding health, and inner peace.”
Come experience a one of a kind Yoga workshop with rich lineage-based spiritual teachings directly from Acharya Shunya. This workshop also includes a practical experience of Yoga for Atmabodha in a session led by Vedika’s Director of Yoga Studies, Ananta Ripa Ajmera.
Workshop is open to students of all levels and includes a delicious Ayurvedic dinner after a practical Yoga for Atmabodha session. Come as empty stomach as possible for maximum comfort.
Individual Class: $50
(includes Ayurvedic meal)
