Transcend Yoga & Wellness Festival

“Perform your duty equipoised, o Arjuna. Such steadiness of purpose is called ‘Yoga’.” One has not fully entered the tradition of Yoga, as a yogi, without attempting to understand the shastras. “Shastra” means sacred text, and for thousands of years, the Bhagavad Gita has been considered by millions around the world to be an essential doorway for ordinary people to gain spiritual advancement on the path of Yoga. However, like many sacred texts, the language of the Gita can be cryptic and hard to digest which often leads people to feel confused or discouraged from studying it. In this 75-minute presentation, you will be initiated into the exoteric story and esoteric meanings of “The Bhagavad Gita”. You’ll learn the four steps of Yoga, and how to apply the story and the steps to your everyday life. There will be slides and room for questions throughout the presentation.
