Skill In Action - Practical teachings for living well from the Bhagavad Gita


  • Merchant City Yoga 49 Virginia Street Glasgow, Scotland, G1 1TS United Kingdom (map)

The Bhagavad Gita is a uniquely practical yoga text. Unlike the Sutras or the Upanisads, the Gita assumes that we live in society, and that life is complicated! We are torn between our duties, our desires, our responsibilities to others, and what we feel is Right. This beautiful and rich text acknowledges the tribulations of embodied life, and offers us advice and practices to make sense of it all, to find peace, and to work out the right thing to do, even in the most bamboozling situations.

Join me over three Sunday afternoons to explore the text - with practical exercises, discussion, play, and takeaway homework booklet with ideas for exploration - to continue your contemplation in your own time.

Session one: The War Within
We meet on the Kurukṣetra, the field of action, this very body, and explore the secrets and struggles of the human heart.

Session two: How does a Yogi speak, sit, walk?
On karma, skilful action, and getting out of your own way.

Session three: The wheel of Dharma and Lokasaṅgraha
The path of the spiritual warrior, balancing acceptance with fighting against injustice.
