In our December Lila Yoga Intensive we delved into the भगवद्गीता (Bhagavad Gita) and how many of its teachings are woven into लीला योग आसन (the Lila Yoga Asana Practice).

Through my lecture, I shared with our LYTT members the teaching foundations of the Lila Yoga Practice: the three chapters and how they relate to one another. I gave imagery, reasoning, and even specifics variations within the chapters. As a collective of LYTTs I would like to invite you to continue our study by discussing the areas of focus from this past intensive and to expound upon them further.

Please use the comment section below for your interpretation of the Gita (i.e. specific sections of interest, general opinions, and anything else we discussed this weekend).
