Essence of the Bhagavad Gita in Leeds

 Registration is closed for this event
Authentic Yoga Insights to Deepen Your Practice with John Jones and Petra Opsteeg. This day will also count as 6 CPD professional points for your DPN Membership. Immerse yourself in the great experience of Dru Yoga! These low cost morning, afternoon or day seminars will leave you deeply relaxed and recharged as well as giving you a great overview of how Dru can help you to make the most of your life.

John Jones is an international speaker and Dru workshop presenter in yoga and meditation. He has a knack of describing yogic concepts in simple, bite-size pieces that open up a whole new dimension of experience.

The question of 'who am I' has been central to the practice of yoga for thousands of years but Self-enquiry and Self-realisation remain mysterious and misunderstood concepts in the West.

In this workshop John and Petra will:

1.  Teach you how to chant in Sanskrit, enabling you to experience the ancient power of mantra through the verses of the Bhagavad Gita.

2.  John will explain in his down-to-earth way, key concepts of yoga philosophy enabling you to experience how every small insight on the journey of Self-discovery brings great rewards of freedom from anxiety and fear.

3.  The day will be set in a matrix of Dru yoga and meditation techniques, helping you to open your heart and mind to this, the king of all yogas, the knowledge of the Self.

"The highest knowledge is Self knowledge."   Deepak Chopra
