Introductory Seminar
with Laura Cornell
This weekend will provide an introduction to the certificate program and an overview of Yoga in India. Students will be introduced to Sanskrit, including its alphabet, pronunciation, and cultural context. The weekend will lay out a timeline of the development of Indic philosophies, show the ways in which they influenced each other, and provide a foundation for the more in depth courses to follow.
The weekend will also introduce students to the online discussion forum and to student final projects, which will be presented in December. Guidelines for each will be given in the introductory weekend. Finally, students will share their interests and background with each other, building a foundation for collaboration and learning as the cohort moves together through the program. Class time will include lecture, discussion, short experiential practices, and reflection.
