Cory’s teaching during the retreat will focus on The Sutra-Āsana Connection
Practice is not easy – and actually showing up everyday on the mat/cushion can be even more difficult than actually doing the practice itself. So, it’s helpful to find inspiration wherever we can. Fortunately for us there are motivating ways to connect the sutras of ancient sacred texts like The Yoga Sutras, The Bhagavad Gita and The Satipatthana Sutta (to name just a few) to the movement and sitting practices that we all know and love.
During Cory’s sessions we’ll focus in on the connection between these ancient philosophy/dharma teachings and the asana and meditation practices we do today.
