A brief intro to Sankhya Philosophy - Yoga teacher training course assessment

1. Yoga Teacher Training Course Assessment My understanding of Samkhya Theory of Evolution My experience of being a Yoga Teacher

2. Samkhya Philosophy

3. Introduction to Samkhya First propounded by Kapila Maha Muni Said to be among the first of the darsanas Bhagavad Gita has many references Adisamkara’s grand guru Gaudapada taught Samkhya philosophy Buddha learnt Samkhya from Rishi Alar Kalam

4. Introduction to Samkhya Two Meanings Sam = total Khya = Knowledge Can be translated to complete knowledge of self or Samkhya also means numbers Referring to the 25 tatvas presented by the philosophy

5. Introduction to Samkhya Two schools of Samkhya Saisvara Nirisvara Patanjali, Bhagavad Gita Kapila, Isvara Krisna

6. Theory of Causation Cause Catalyst Effect

7. Theory of Causation Cause Catalyst Effect Satkarya Karana Karya

8. Theory of Causation Cause Catalyst Effect Satkarya Karana Karya • Effect is contained in the cause • A catalyst is needed to produce the effect from the cause • If desired effect is not produced, the wrong cause is being acted on

9. Theory of Evolution Purusa Prakriti Mahat / Buddhi Ahamkara Satvik Rajasik Tamasik Ahamkara Ahamkara Ahamkara Tanmatras (Sabda, Manas Sparsa, rupa, rasa, gandha) Jnanendriyas (Srota, Bhutas (Akasa, Vayu, Tvak, Jihva, Grahana, Agni, Aap, Prithvi) Chaksu) Karmendriyas (Vak, Pani, Pada, Payu, Upastha)

17. Samkhya & Yoga Samkhya is the map. Yoga is the vehicle. II-18 Prakasakiryasthitisilam bhutendriyatmakam bhogapavargartham drsyam| II-19 Visesavisesa lingamatralingani gunaparvani |

18. My learning Liberation or moksa is not an intellectual pursuit. Understanding purusa is not a matter of the mind or the intellect. The journey is to transcend the mind.

20. My experience with teaching Yoga

21. Designing a course Goal: Dhanurasana – Group class Choosing the right postures to prepare for the goal posture Goal: Relax before sleeping – Myself Choosing postures that are easy-to-do without getting out of bed Creating the relaxing effect through posture & breathing technique

22. Teaching a group Drawing the course in stick figures in a presentable format Taking the help of a model to demonstrate Giving multiple instructions for one asana vinyasa Managing the different needs of participants (modifications, late-comers, level etc)

23. Teaching an Individual Motivating the student to do asana Quickly suggesting modifications to achieve the function of the posture. Balancing sthiram sukham with the function of the posture Introducing breathing in asana Progressing by readiness of the student Simple Standing  Surya Namaskaras  Lying  Seated Breathing

24. My Learning Theory Vs Practical Teaching yoga deserves to be a profession A teacher needs personal discipline Applying principles while teaching will help take them into other parts of life Teaching yoga is great space to practice Maitri, Karuna, Mudita & Upeksa

25. Thank You
