The Alchemical Body:
Yoga, Ayurveda and Chinese Systems of Transformation
Yoga, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine are practical sciences devoted to the same purpose: cultivating multi-dimensional health and spiritual insight. Central to each of these approaches is the understanding of the life force, known as prana or chi, that interconnects and sustains our lives. Physician sages and mystics articulated how the life-force circulates in the energy pathways of the body and how those energies influence the mind. They have given us exquisite tools for inquiring into the subtle and often hidden aspects of our being. They have also presented imagery and theories that, at face value, can seem incongruous.
Joining IYI for a practical and philosophical exploration of the profound similarities these traditions share is Scott Blossom who is a licensed practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a nationally recognized expert on Yoga and Ayurveda. Chandra Easton, a longtime Buddhist practitioner, translator, and yoga teacher will guide the yoga classes, exploring how our life force (prana) is enhanced and refined through our physical sensitivity, rhythmic breath, and focused mind.
