YOGA, MIND AND BRAIN *

The relationship between brain and consciousness is a fascinating topic of modern brain research. According to the experience of the yogis, mind and thoughts exist as subtle realities. Brain and nerve functions are the physical counterparts. In this seminar, we will look at the nature of consciousness and explain the yoga model, according to which we are manifold reflections of one cosmic reality which can be experienced through introspection and meditation. The practice consists of gentle yoga classes for all levels, various yoga techniques for controlling the mind, exercises in self-observation and self-realisation.
