Focus:The focus of this segment will be
"beginning". The Roots of the yoga tradition, the
commencement of spiritual practice and the role of the teacher
as spiritual aspirant (sadhaka). The difference between a
yogi(ni) and Sadhaka(m) might be interesting here? The
instruction can look to the importance of self-study (svadhyaya),
and its many meanings for teachers who wish to inspire students.
· Svadhyaya. Self-study. The process of inquiring into your own
nature, the nature of your beliefs, and the nature of the
world's spiritual journey (one of the niyamas). · Svadhyaya
involves developing of cognitive understanding of intuitive
knowledge. It also means to clearly understand the underlying
spiritual meaning of the world's great scriptures. · Svadhyaya:
Sva means "self' or "belonging to me." Adhyaya
means "inquiry" or "examination". The word
Svadhyaya literally means, "to get close to
something." It means to get close to yourself, that is, to
study yourself so you might understand your place/identity as a
teacher. How does one go about beginning the serious aspiration
to teach, find their voice, and encourage the beginning of
serious study in their students? This speaks to our desire to
allow the "organic" and "creative" process
of teaching to develop. This in turn will be equated to the
"organic" process of learning for their students.
Knowing who you are and what you can and want to teach is a
beginning. We will use the Bagavad Gita throughout this 500 hour
course, exploring the relevance of this literature for the
modern reader. In this segment the teachers will see how they
identify with characters and situations in the Gita. This use of
a single literature will provide depth of focus and continuity
in the training, and will aim to show teachers how they can draw
philosophy and ethics into their class instruction through
various sources.
