The first time we offered this course, earlier this year, it was such a popular offering and well attended that we are offering it again starting July 8, and this time expanded from 20 hours to 25… still CE-accredited with Yoga Alliance. Hosted by Kintsugi Yoga in Las Vegas and live-streamed (and recorded) via Zoom, this course will take place twice a week for 12 sessions. Saturdays 3:30 - 5:30 and Mondays 5:30 - 7:30pm. All sessions will be available in-person in Las Vegas and real-time via Zoom, and recordings of all sessions (along with course materials) will be provided to all participants.
Are you interested in the theory, intentions, and history behind the practices of yoga that we love doing? Is yoga more to you than just physical movements, stretching and sweating? Join Paul as he guides an exploratory journey into the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of classical yoga, in a holistic sense, with the aim to understand yoga as a worldview. How can we use these ancient teachings to inform our daily actions and modify our lives for the better? Is it actually possible to reduce suffering while navigating this chaotic world? Is life fair? Do we truly have free will? The study of yoga philosophy gives us these answers and more.

Bhagavad Gita
"Theosophy: An Introductory Study Course" by John Algeo
