Please visit the Wellcome Collection to read and view the online story ‘Not one yoga, but many yogas’ by Lalita Kaplish: ‘Yoga means many things to many people. It’s a spiritual practice, a way to stay flexible, a meditation practice, a system of well-being, and even a form of therapy.’
The Wellcome Collection invited a few practitioners to provide some film and comment.
The eleventh century Amṛtasiddhi teaches, for the first time, bodily practices that become central to haṭha yoga. The startling teachings are explained systematically, in terms of the nature of the body, the practices, and the results of the practice in this tantric Buddhist source text. In this course we will read the Sanskrit and discuss in English the section on ‘the body’ as set out in the first four chapters of the Amṛtasiddhi. The course comprises four online sessions and one in-person workshop in London.
