Taking Refuge: Coming Home
to Ourselves

Part I: Taking Refuge - Coming Home to Ourselves

We all have a great need for a place of refuge. But sadly the difficulties of today’s world can invade our consciousness at any place and at any time, mainly because of the internet. It may not actually be harder to find the way and the time to live in a positive way these days, but it sure seems like it.

To help counter this, in this course we will explore the topic of refuge. What is it actually? Is it just running away? What does it mean to take refuge? And what can spiritual traditions tell us about the state of refuge?

Refuge must not be only understood, it also must be felt in the body. What can asana, pranayama, restorative poses, and meditation specifically teach us about refuge?

Part II: Gateway of Transformation: Asana, Body Awareness and the Physicality of Spirituality

We tend to think of yoga as a physical practice that can improve fitness, help enhance our health and deal with minor aches and pain. But yoga is so much more, notes Judith in this course.

Judith shows how asana is not just a refuge from the busyness of life, it's a gateway to creating transformation in our life. Asana offers a refuge, because it teaches us presence.

But even beyond that, the different aspects of yoga help us get in touch with deeper levels of our being. Judith shows how to integrate the principles of Pratyahara and Dharana, and Dhyana, the 5th, 6th and 7th Limbs of Yoga, into our practices, and offers a guide to the many ways yoga offers us a gateway for transformation.
