Chanting and Philosophy Workshop
Friday to Sunday June 14 - 16
In this workshop there will be three sessions on key sections of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra and two on the Bhagavad Gita. We will chant the Sutra/Shlokas we have chosen to study, in Sanskrit, in the traditional Parampara way of Call and Response. We will explore each Sutra/Shloka in detail and look how they serve as well today to give insight into human psychology, the difficulties we face in life, and how to overcome these, as they have done throughout the millenia since they were composed.
The workshop is suitable for and open to all, whether you are a Yoga practitioner currently or not, and certainly no previous chanting experience is necessary. Don't be shy!

About Manju
Born on November 16th, 1944, Manju Jois is the son of Guruji, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. At the age of 7, Manju was awakened early each day by his father to begin lessons that would forever change the course of his life and the lives of those who would study with him in the years to come. He began teaching at the age of 15 with his father and has taught continuously for the last 44 years.
It was in 1975 that they taught a two-month workshop to eager students in California. This was the first time that Ashtanga yoga was brought to the U.S. Manju decided to stay in the U.S. and teach and he has been doing so continuously on the east and west coasts and internationally ever since. Nearly 35 years since Guruji and Manju first brought Ashtanga to the U.S., it has grown to be one of the most popular forms of Yoga in the West, practised by millions, and Pattabhi Jois a now a world-renowned Guru. Manju's intention is to teach in the way of the ancient tradition and bring the many benefits of Ashtanga yoga to his students. It is our great privilege and pleasure to have him come to share his great depth of knowledge of the practice with us.
