The Wheel of Yoga

Portia Brockway, Yogi

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions

The Wheel of Yoga - Four 1.5 hour sessions:

We welcome you to join us for one or more of four 15-minute talks focused on the four paths of Yoga: Karma, Jnana, Raja, and Bhakti, profiling great Yogis who have lived each of these paths: Gandhi, Ramana Maharshi, Vivekananda and Ramakrishna. 

The talk will be followed with Q&A and discussion; and a one-hour Hatha (physical) Yoga session gauged to meet the needs of the group. You are welcome to attend the talk only or the talk and the Hatha Yoga session. 

If you plan to participate in the physical practice please wear flexible clothing and bring a Yoga mat if you have one (we have a few extra).

With a quarter of a century's experience offering Yoga instruction in Cambridge, and a lifetime aspiring to Yoga's principles and practices, I look forward to these sessions.  - Portia Brockway
