Workshop Series

Yoga & the Three Treasures

Feat. Instructor Bob Matsueda & Special Guests

An introduction to Yoga history, philosophy; meditation, chanting, mantras, breathing techniques; movements (asanas) relaxation techniques for stress, anxiety, sleep; diet and lifestyle choices.​​

Yoga is not a religion but a spiritual umbrella under which all of the religions of India  are under including Buddhism.


The Buddha: Shakyamuni Buddha practiced Yoga techniques as a means to attain enlightenment and his revolutionary way of looking at the world.

 

The Dharma: The goals of Buddhism and Yoga are to eliminate suffering and attain Universal Oneness.


The Sangha: Yoga can support and grow the Sanghas at all temples through practices for all members of any age and physical condition for mental, physical and spiritual health. A healthy mind and body facilitates opening up to the Dharma.  Plus it is a fun activity while making friends of all ages.​

This workshop series has been made possible by CBE and the Dharma Forward Foundation.
