We start our second week connecting with the teachings of the here and now, exploring the purpose and direction of our lives. We honor our personal experience and the capacity to share it with those we love. We will visit a local community and share the teachings of the Andean Cosmovision, related to the fantastic locals who have kept their traditions with a sense of gratitude and reciprocity.
On the asana portion of the practice, we will study the standing postures, explore vinyasa's nature, and connect our creative power to bring together different poses through dynamic and cohesive sequencing.
We will study the most relevant yoga literature in the philosophy classes, such as the Bhagavad Gita and The Patanjali Sutras. We will close the week with a spiritual pilgrimage to a sacred site around the area, where we will share a San Pedro Ceremony and put everything you have learned into practice.
