SYTA Conference

Koshas - unfolding the self

As yoga teachers we encounter students whose perception of self is largely limited to the physical body or a dichotomy between the mind and body. Our challenge is to facilitate a deeper understanding of the self. The holistic nature of yoga affects all aspects of the personality, and the koshas provide a model for examining and understanding these different levels.

Speakers and workshop presenters addressed the way yoga influences the individual from the gross through to the most subtle level. The three day conference provided an excellent opportunity for teachers to meet with peers, exchange ideas, practise and be inspired.

Over 250 yoga teachers and  practitioners from the Satyananda  and other traditions attended the conference which was opened by Swami Niranjanananda.  Feedback suggests that those who attended gained considerable knowledge and inspiration from the speakers and being able to connect again with others.

This conference was held directly after Swami Niranjanananda’s visit on  22nd to 25th April 2008 at SATYANANDA YOGA® Mangrove Mountain NSW Australia.
