Philosophy & Psychology of Individuation

We are exposed to many modalities of self-assessment, self-reflection, and personal development. This course focuses specifically on the modality of yoga with an overlaying complement of depth psychology, a purposeful field of study that surveys unconscious space. The pairing both deepens the discussion and offers common themes across modalities. Within the practice of yoga, this course is intimately focused on the first and second limbs of yoga, the Yamas & Niyamas. The journey through the yamas and niyamas is both a philosophical and psychological journey. This course will delve into mindset, radical self-assessment, discussion around 'the work', while utilizing the philosophical structures to guide the self along the dharmic path of self-discovery, or the path of individuation.
